CARSTAR opens new Atlantic Canada location (September 05, 2006)

CARSTAR Automotive Canada has opened a new location in Nova Scotia.
CARSTAR announced it has welcomed MacKay’s CARSTAR Collision to its network of collision repair centres. The new location, which opened in August, joins a network of over 110 CARSTAR locations in 10 provinces across the country.
Franchise owner Tim MacKay has been operating a successful collision repair business in the Sackville area for more than nine years. He purchased and completely renovated a 5,000-square-foot facility to house the new location.
“I chose CARSTAR because I wanted to be part of a recognizable, trusted brand,” MacKay said in a press release.
“This partnership is a great opportunity for me to continue to grow my business, and in particular, to improve my relations with insurance partners. I’m very pleased to be able to offer my customers the many benefits that CARSTAR provides, including their Lifetime Nationwide Warranty.”
Mackay’s CARSTAR Collision joins 13 other CARSTAR locations serving Atlantic Canada, including seven in Nova Scotia, three in New Brunswick, two in Prince Edward Island and one in Newfoundland.
“We are very excited to welcome Tim to the CARSTAR network,” Dave Meery, CARSTAR’s Atlantic Region market development manager, said in a release. “We seek out franchisees who share in our vision for providing the highest standards for customer service and care, and who are active and contributing members of the communities in which they operate.
“It’s clear to us that Tim shares these values and we look forward to working with him to bring consumers in Sackville the quality and consistency CARSTAR is known for.”
