Toronto, Ontario — CARSTAR is celebrating its success in 2019 as the network caps off a banner year and closes out its 30th-anniversary celebrations.
CARSTAR owners experienced an average of 20 percent sales growth across North America, translating into more than $1 billion in sales. The CARSTAR family also continued to thrive in other respects including growth, as the network added more than 100 new facilities in 2019 alone.
Finally, in December, CARSTAR celebrated raising over $400,000 for cystic fibrosis in 2019, pushing CARSTAR past the $4 million thresholds in total funds raised for both Cystic Fibrosis Canada and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation since its partnership began more than 20 years ago.
“Consistently putting customer experience and repair quality first, while giving back to the communities we serve are the founding values from 1989, that got us to this amazing position we are in today,” says Dean Fisher, president, CARSTAR. “Staying true to our humble beginnings is why we are able to celebrate such an exceptional year and coming off the heels of our 30th-anniversary celebrations makes 2019 that much more memorable for us all.”
The brand celebrated its 30th anniversary by pursuing unique monthly endeavours to thank its customers, franchise family and colleagues for their continued support throughout its history.
This included surprising 30 customers across North America by paying for their repairs; celebrating CARSTAR’s female franchise partners for Women’s History Month; rewarding 30 hardworking CARSTAR technicians; having NASCAR #88 driver Alex Bowman sporting a helmet drawn by winning cystic fibrosis champion and celebrating the opening of its 700th store–to name a few.
“We are grateful for our customers and franchise family so it was such a joy to take a moment each month to celebrate our valued relationships,” said Fisher. “We are excited to close out the year on such a high note and motivated to raise the bar for even higher excellence in 2020.”
