CARSTAR Collision Services has announced the addition of two new franchise operations, one in Florida and the other in Washington. Tim Jensen and Todd Poretta, managers of CARSTAR Business Development secured the arrangements.

  • Gary's CARSTAR Auto Body, in Margate, FL, owned by Leonardo Guttierrez.
