Toronto, Ontario — July 30, 2019 — CARSTAR Hope has opened in the growing community of Hope, B.C.
CARSTAR’s newest multi-store owner, Bill Davidson, who recently purchased CARSTAR Quality Assured – Raydar, owns CARSTAR Hope. Davidson has been in the industry since 1993, where he entered the field as a technician, then managed various facilities throughout the Fraser Valley.
“Hope is a growing community, so we are excited to be a part of its ground-level development,” says Davidson. “I look forward to seeing Hope continue to thrive as more travelers come through and locals find roots here.”
CARSTAR Hope is an 8,000 sq ft facility, with a secured parking compound and state-of-the-art equipment to provide premier repairs to all makes and models. With plans to earn particular OEM certifications that are prevalent to their community, Davidson is prioritizing training for his new location.
“Training is key for our industry right now, as vehicles are advancing at a faster rate than ever before,” says Mike Piper, Western Zone Director, CARSTAR. “We encourage our CARSTAR family to prioritize training and education to stay ahead of the curve, so it is nice to see franchise partners like Bill build that into new store planning so it is always a part of their business and processes.”
New Hope local, Dean Rosta, is the managing partner at the CARSTAR Hope facility. Having just moved to the community, Rosta is eager to help his new neighbours with their collision repair needs.
