CARSTAR Scola’s Collision Center to Donate Car to Deserving Veteran

Presentation of restored 2015 Chevy Equinox set for Veteran’s Day as part of the Progressive Insurance countrywide Keys to Progress program.

CARSTAR Scola’s Collision Center announced it will be donating a 2015 Chevy Equinox to a military veteran this Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11th. Progressive Service Centers are honoring veterans across the country in this third annual vehicle giveaway event. In association with the National Auto Body Council’s (NABC) Recycled Rides project, the Progressive Group of Insurance Companies, along with several national and local partners, is donating more than 130 vehicles to these heroes in appreciation of their service.

Progressive is working together with local NABC member body shops to recycle and donate vehicles that have been damaged in an accident. CARSTAR Scola’s Collision Center has rebuilt the Chevy Equinox at its own expense, and with parts donated by vendors.

“I am always happy to help the men and women who have defended our freedom,” said Lou Scola, a six-year Navy veteran and co-owner of CARSTAR Scola’s Collision Center. “We can’t do enough to thank our veterans. I look forward to seeing this vehicle in the hands of one of our nation’s finest.”
