Toronto, Ontario – February 20, 2019 – More than 20 independent collision repair owners throughout Saskatchewan were in attendance for CARSTAR’s ‘Discovery Day.’
The day was dedicated to educating independent owners throughout Saskatchewan on the benefits of being a part of the CARSTAR family.
Among the independent shop owners in attendance were some of CARSTAR’s leaders including president Michael Macaluso, director of franchise development Colin Welsh, CARSTAR Canada general manager Jeff Labanovich, zone director Mike Piper and area manager of operations Andrew Northrup.
“CARSTAR is coming to Saskatchewan and we are so excited to have independent repair center owners eager to join our family and take advantage of all the benefits that come with it,” says Collin Welsh, director of franchise development, CARSTAR. “As a public insurance market, many owners do not see a value in joining a national brand like CARSTAR, so it was an honour to spend time in Regina and highlight how we can help.”
There were some key vendor partners that were also in attendance.
“We are seeing more franchise partners join CARSTAR because of a variety of reasons, from our proprietary online training tool, CARSTAR University, to our renowned operations performance platform, EDGE, our team has a lot to offer,” said Macaluso. “CARSTAR is a family of family businesses so it was an honour to share our values with these attendees so they could understand our model of locally owned and operated facilities.”
CARSTAR has more than 600 locations across North America and is a part of the greater Driven Brands organization, which has more than 2,500 franchises in total.
