CARSTAR aluminum repair experts will discuss:

  • Preparing

  • How to calculate the ROI

  • Market solutions

For the past year, CARSTAR’s operations team has been working with CARSTAR owners around the country to help them prepare their shops for the demands of aluminum repair, train technicians on aluminum repair processes for structural and non-structural jobs and source the tools and equipment needed for aluminum repair.  

This training program will continue through 2015.

CARSTAR shops that are part of Ford dealerships are officially certified in aluminum repair through Assured Performance Network, and listed as an approved facility on the Ford website. Other CARSTAR stores are recognized for their aluminum repair training, tools, and equipment per the Ford Collision Network.

In addition, CARSTAR has its own internal certification process that is part of its proprietary EDGE Performance Tier 5.
