Aug. 10, 2011 – CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts has chosen the Emerald City for this year’s National Conference, set for Sept. 24-27 at the Washington State Convention Center.

More than 350 auto body store owners and employees will join the CARSTAR corporate leadership team in a number of initiatives including planning for the growth of the organization in the years ahead, celebrating the successes of its store owners, participating in training programs and sharing time together as the CARSTAR Nation. A Vendor Expo featuring the top manufacturers and service providers in the industry will be included in the events.

The theme for the 2011 National Conference is “Performance of the CARSTAR Nation” and activities will focus on how the group can drive its business performance, expand to new store locations, enhance its insurance industry relationships and strengthen its national brand image.

“Our national conference is an incredible opportunity for CARSTAR owners and managers from around the country to gather to share ideas and solutions, plan together, address the challenges facing our industry and explore how collectively we can leverage the strength and power of the CARSTAR Nation,” said David Byers, CEO of CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts. “Seattle is a terrific host city for our conference, and we have a very strong presence in that region with 19 CARSTAR stores. We are looking forward to a great event and an even better year ahead.”
