Honor. Justice.
About Us
Our Mission
Honor. Justice. At Scientific Collision & Reconstruction Services, these two words are not simply a part of a meaningless phrase, they truly are a part of our company! Founded in September of 2016, S.C.&R.S. was formed upon the belief that all collisions are deserving of a thorough inquiry into the cause of the incident. Our goal for collision investigation and analysis is to identify and effectively articulate the cause of the collision and how the associated events transpired. By using precision equipment and proven scientific analysis methods, we are able to achieve that goal. We are centrally located in Texas near Abilene. Let us help you, contact us today!
