CARSTAR has announced the recipients of the Financial Focus Groups Outstanding Performance honors among its U.S. CARSTAR stores and franchisees. CEO David Byers recognized the winners on stage during the annual CARSTAR conference Sept. 22-25 in San Antonio and presented their awards during Saturday evening’s banquet.
In the category for top Financial Focus Groups, four CARSTAR stores were honored for showing the most improvement in sales, margins and EBIDTA categories.
Group 1’s top performer was C & H CARSTAR Collision in Fairborn, Ohio, owned by Ed Collins.
In Group 2, for the second consecutive year, the top performer was Marshall’s Autobody CARSTAR in Billerica, Mass., owned by Jim Marshall.
Taking the honors in Group 3 was Gapsch’s CARSTAR Collision Center in St. Louis, Mo., owned by Lisa Rush.
Group 4’s top performer was George’s CARSTAR Body Shop in Chicago, Ill., owned by Brian Benakos.
“It takes a tremendous amount of work to achieve what these four shops are being recognized for tonight,” said Byers. “By focusing on the bottom line, sales, margins and profitability, these owners have become role models for the entire CARSTAR family.”
