CARSTAR Canada has added a new location in Edmonton.

CARSTAR Edmonton Parsons Road is owned and operated by multi-store owner Vinod Patel, who has more than 33 years of experience in the collision repair industry.

The CARSTAR Edmonton Parsons Road location will be operating out of a 13,000-square-foot-facility with the capability of supporting large vehicles, trucks and vans. Other services include collision repair, glass repair and the option for valet services.

“We work hard to build a reputation so our customers can trust us with their vehicle repair and know that it’s done right the first time,” Patel said. “This is why we’ve decided to expand with CARSTAR, because we know they are committed to supporting us in providing expert repairs and providing unparalleled customer service.”

CARSTAR Edmonton Parsons Road offers service in five languages: English, Guajarati, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi. Vinod and his team are also committed to giving back to the community they serve and sponsor various cultural festivals and local sports teams.

“Vinod and his team provide best-in-class service by going above and beyond to make the repair process seamless as possible,” said Michael Piper, CARSTAR regional director for Western Canada. “Vinod has worked hard to earn a reputation for offering a superior customer experience coupled with expert repairs, and we are thrilled that he wants to expand his CARSTAR operations in the Edmonton area.”

Exit Strategies: Personal Vision & Financial Planning

The most critical first step in an exit or transition plan is to develop a financial plan and personal vision of what your life will look like post-business.

Jerry was a 63-year-old auto body shop owner who contacted me regarding putting together an exit strategy. Like most shop owners, he had become tired of the day-to-day grind of dealing with the back-and-forth fights with the insurance carriers, yet he still loved the idea of being a part of a business he built from the ground up. Ideally, he would have liked his production manager, Evan, to become his heir apparent, yet he had no idea if Evan was interested in owning the shop or if he was even capable of doing so. His shop was a prime candidate for a consolidator, and he had received an offer from one, yet he cared about his employees and wanted to make sure they were taken care of. Also, he was unsure what he would do with himself if he did not have a place to go. He did not know where to turn.
