You understand incorrectly - the QAC's existed from the very
beginning,though their scope changed throughout the company's life.
Initially as a "prep center" then very early on as a "rebuild center"
(upwards of 40 man hours per car afte the cars reached the states) and then
later on as more a "prep center" again.

Things like spare tires, owners manuals and the like were all added here
stateside.
