CARSTAR Announces Franchise Expansion in Arizona
CARSTAR, the nation’s largest collision repair network, has announced the addition of 10 franchise locations in Arizona. This addition raises the total number of CARSTAR stores to more than 300 locations across North America. The signings are a result of a six-month long aggressive recruitment effort to premium stores in key Arizona cities. Eight of the new stores are in the Phoenix area, and two are in Tucson.“Many independent collision repair owners have recognized the need to align their business with an organization like CARSTAR with true deliverables that provide value to both insurance companies and consumers,” said George Hansen, President and CEO, CARSTAR.
CARSTAR attributes its growth to understanding the needs of the Arizona marketplace and repackaging its franchise offering, which includes profit management, insurance relationships, marketing and training.
CARSTAR, headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, anticipates adding a total of 70 new franchises by year-end. CARSTAR currently has 218 U.S. locations in 22 states.
