CARSTAR has a long and established history in the Canadian repair industry, tracing back over two decades. In 1995, we began franchising in Canada with the vision of building a nationwide network of high quality auto body repair centres aimed at providing consistent service and integrity across all locations. CARSTAR has since evolved and developed a nationwide network of high quality collision repair centres. And the vision the company had back in 1995 became a reality. In December 2015, CARSTAR Automotive Inc. was acquired by Driven Brands; one of the largest automotive franchise organizations in North America. CARSTAR has over 250 locations across the country and over 400 throughout North America to serve you – wherever your journey may take you.
