The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) board has elected two new members and one incumbent to its membership, according to a press release.

Chosen by SCRS board members on April 11 during an election, Michael Giarrizzo Jr., Andrew Batenhorst, and Tony Adams were elected to the board.

Adams is an AkzoNobel business services consultant and has served one term, which consists of three years. He has served previously as vice president of the Kansas Auto Body Association, an SCRS affiliate.

Batenhorst is the body shop manager at Pacific BMW Collision Center in Glendale, California. He is passionate about “giving back” to the industry and wants to help others see the potential in taking advantage of what’s changing in collision repair. In the past, he has been a member of the Collision Industry Conference Estimating Committee and the California Autobody Association. 

Giarrizzo is the president and CEO of DCR Systems and has been in the industry since 1984 in his family’s shop. After the business was acquired, he helped it expand to 64 locations before becoming a COO and later forming DCR Systems, with seven locations currently.
