CARSTAR Champions Opens in Houston

CARSTAR Champions Opens in Houston

CARSTAR Champions, which was purchased and modernized five years ago by Kevin and Blanca Williams, has been servicing its community for over 40 years.

CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts has announced the opening of CARSTAR Champions in Houston, Texas. The new franchise is owned and operated by Kevin and Blanca Williams.

“Joining CARSTAR was an easy business decision for us,” said co-owner Kevin Williams. “We can now leverage the benefits of being part of the CARSTAR family and give our customers the service and attention that they would expect from an independent shop. CARSTAR provides access to networks, training and partnerships to ensure we provide quality and affordable repairs to our customers.”

CARSTAR Champions has been servicing its community for over 40 years. Kevin and Blanca Williams purchased the business five years ago and modernized the facility. They expanded the collision repair capabilities by adding a heated paint booth, laser measuring capabilities, frame machine and waterborne paint, and achieved I-CAR Gold class status. By converting to a CARSTAR franchise, it affords them the benefits of a larger MSO while allowing them flexibility to do what they love: supporting their community and helping their customers solve their vehicle repair issues.

CARSTAR Champions will provide everything from full auto collision repair, small dent and ding fixes and paint jobs.

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.
