I believe CARSTAR will help me take my business to another level, eventually allowing us to expand our business.”

CARSTAR Chicago 38th St. sits in a 6,000-square-foot facility and is fully equipped with all of the tools and resources needed for a proper and professional collision repair. The shop utilizes CCC estimating software, unibody frame equipment and a Blowtherm headed downdraft paint booth. They also carry I-CAR Gold I-CAR Welding status as well as ASE B-6 certifications.
