CARSTAR Expands in Chicago Area

July 20, 2015

July 20, 2015—CARSTAR expanded its footprint in Chicago with Friday’s announcement of the addition of CARSTAR Chicago 38th St. This latest addition increases CARSTAR’s presence in the Chicagoland area to 19 locations.

The 6,000-square-foot shop formerly known as Supreme Auto Body is located at 2929 W. 38th St. in Chicago and is and owned by Stan Cravan. The shop utilizes CCC estimating software, unibody frame equipment, and a Blowtherm headed downdraft paint booth. The shop also carries I-CAR Gold, I-CAR Welding, and ASE B-6 Certifications.

“We chose to join CARSTAR because of the strong brand recognition in Chicago,” said Cravan. “We are looking forward to the EDGE Performance Groups program and the benefits of following a very sequential method to achieving growth and an efficient operation. I believe CARSTAR will help me take my business to another level, eventually allowing us to expand our business.”
