Hub City Body Shop began as a family business founded by Roy and Sheila Seay, Dan Seay’s parents, in 2005. Roy, a banker with nearly 30 years of experience, had long been passionate about restoring and racing cars. Driven by his love for automotive work, he decided to turn his hobby into a business and moved with his family to Lubbock, Texas, where they opened a MAACO Collision Repair and Auto Painting franchise. Soon after, Roy’s son joined the team to help manage the shop, bringing the family closer as they worked together to build something special. In 2021, the family rebranded as Hub City Body Shop to operate independently, maintaining a commitment to providing high-quality service and establishing a strong reputation in the region.

Today, the business remains family-operated, with Sheila, Roy's son, his sister Carrie, cousin Chad, and even his son Joshua involved in its day-today success. One of the most rewarding experiences for the team came from collaborating on a television show called The Car Chasers on CNBC, where they contributed to restoring and reselling unique vehicles, including cars that had been featured in movies. This opportunity not only highlighted their creativity and skill but also provided lasting memories, especially for Roy, who became a regular on the show. Beyond these memorable experiences, Hub City Body Shop has also found fulfillment in giving back to the Lubbock community. They regularly support local charities such as Malta Farms, Boys and Girls Club of Lubbock, Meals on Wheels, and UMC and Covenant Children’s Hospitals, reflecting their dedication to positively impacting their community.

As a true family-run business, Hub City Body Shop’s competitive spirit and shared commitment to excellence set them apart. Each member upholds high standards, striving to deliver top-quality repair work and exceptional customer service. Working with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) has been instrumental in helping the business make informed, data driven decisions, which led to their recent expansion and rapid growth. Their partnership with SBDC has allowed them to grow confidently and strategically, leading to the best year in the business’ history with plans to expand even further.
