Charlotte, North Carolina — September 24, 2017 — CARSTAR North America recognized CARSTAR owners and business groups from across Canada and the US at the network’s first North America-wide conference. Collision Repair magazine reported earlier on the Canadians honoured as Franchisee of the Year, Rookie of the Year and the winners of the Next Generation Award.
