CARSTAR Cardston Opens in Alberta, Canada

CARSTAR Cardston is a 14,000-square-foot facility with a recent 5,000-square-foot area added for extra repair and office space so it can be equipped and set up for aluminum repair.

CARSTAR Canada has added CARSTAR Cardston to its network of stores. Located in Cardston, Alberta, CARSTAR Cardston is a third-generation family business that first opened in 1955.

Franchise partner Darin Sommerfeldt started in the auto repair business in the early 80s working at the store, which both his parents, Ted and Carole Sommerfeldt, owned and operated. His father retired about 10 years ago and since then, Darin, along with his brother Michael Sommerfeldt, have been running the business.

CARSTAR Cardston is a 14,000-square-foot facility with a recent 5,000-square-foot area added for extra repair and office space. The addition provided CARSTAR Cardston with room to be fully equipped and set up for aluminum repair.

“CARSTAR really seemed like the right choice for our business,” said Darin Sommerfeldt. “They are a powerful brand with a positive reputation in the Alberta market. We are excited to join the CARSTAR network and look forward to improving our business through their support.”

Throughout the years, CARSTAR Cardston has valued the importance of giving back.

“It has always been important for us to support the community who has supported us over the years. We try to give back locally as much as we can,” said Sommerfeldt.

CARSTAR Cardston is active in sponsoring local sports teams and other community groups.
