our story

Industrial mechanical room with large green and blue machinery, yellow safety markings on the floor, tools, and equipment such as a red toolbox and a gray air blower, with pipes, gauges, and metal surfaces.
A man wearing a green apron and brown boots sitting on a chair in an industrial setting, working with a hose connected to a large machine with rust and grime, surrounded by industrial equipment and orange extension cords.

AGR was founded in 2001 by three friends—Ben Ashworth, Larry Gray, and Rick Rives—with a simple goal: provide honest, reliable eddy current testing to businesses throughout Texas and the surrounding region. They believed clients deserved accurate inspections, dependable service, and a company they could trust.

More than 25 years later, that commitment remains at the heart of everything we do. Today, AGR is proudly owned and operated by Larry Gray's son, Sean Gray, who continues the values on which the company was built while leading AGR's continued growth across the United States.

As a family-owned business with a legacy spanning three generations of the Gray family, we take pride in building lasting relationships with our clients and treating every project with the same level of care, professionalism, and integrity that has defined us from the beginning.

From commercial facilities throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area to customers across the country, we provide high-quality eddy current testing that helps our clients make informed maintenance decisions, reduce downtime, and extend the life of their HVAC equipment.

As our company has grown, one thing has never changed: our commitment to delivering accurate results, exceptional customer service, and the honest, dependable experience our clients have come to expect from AGR.


Three generations of family legacy. Twenty-five(+) years of trusted service. One commitment to quality.
