CARSTAR Don & Ron’s Named ‘Business of the Year’

CARSTAR announced that CARSTAR Don & Ron’s in Omaha, Neb., has been named “Business of the Year” by the Ralston Area Chamber of Commerce. Don & Ron’s received the award at the Chamber’s Annual Awards Banquet and Auction held in early December.

“It is seriously one of my favorite nights of the year just to bring everything to a close for a wonderful 2015,” Chamber President Tara Lea said. “It is so nice to pick a few businesses and highlight what they do throughout the year.”

This is the first time this family-owned body shop has won the award.

“We are thrilled to receive this award for the business my father and uncle started,” said Christi Krzemien Krajeski. “It is a great honor to be recognized by the chamber. Don and Ron’s has been part of the Ralston community for over 50 years.”

The Ralston body shop recently expanded by moving their office. This allowed the original building to expand production space to accommodate more vehicles and technicians.

The second generation of the Krzemien family currently staff the front office. Owner Ron Krzemien is now retired.
