SMYRNA, Del. — The Database Enhancement Gateway (DEG) team has announced that its first Platinum Sponsor is CARSTAR Franchise Systems Inc. (CARSTAR), a recognized leader in the collision repair marketplace.

DEG says that support for the gateway makes absolute sense for a company such as CARSTAR due to its history of supporting industry initiatives and trade organizations that offer benefit to their individual stores as well as initiatives that foster real world solutions for the industry at large, and CARSTAR's interest in making sure the DEG can remain a viable alternative for estimating system users to submit inquiries at no charge should be applauded across the industry.

The DEG Sponsor program allows for the DEG to partner with key corporations serving the collision industry who are interested in supporting DEG’s initiative to maintain its services at no charge to the individual user.
