Toronto, Ontario — CARSTAR just earned some corporate clout on the world stage, as the North American collision repair consolidator announced on Oct. 31 that it earned a ranking of 85 out of the Franchise Times’ top 500 U.S.-based franchise systems.
CARSTAR came out as the highest-ranking automotive franchise system on the list, having only slipped a few spots down from its previous year ranking of 78.

The Franchise Times estimates CARSTAR’s total system sales to be about $1,300,000,000 for 2022.

“This is a testament to our industry leading franchise family and the hard work our corporate team puts into supporting our facilities across North America.”
