CARSTAR Collision Specialists in Wichita, Kansas, was voted the first-place winner for “Best Auto Body Repair Shop” in the Transportation category in a Reader’s Choice Competition by the Wichita Eagle newspaper. This is the third year in a row CARSTAR was chosen by the Wichita Eagle.

The 2018 Reader’s Choice Competition is sponsored by the local newspaper. Each year, the publisher collects votes on the “best” businesses and services in Wichita. The 175 categories range from transportation, food, entertainment, health to service providers. This was the eighth year of the competition.

“We are excited that our shops were chosen the best body shops in Wichita once again,” said Greg Petersen, owner, CARSTAR Collision Specialists East and CARSTAR Collision Specialists West. “Our dedicated staff at our two Wichita locations provide quality repairs and take the stress out of having an accident. We are honored that our customers voted for us.”

The Reader’s Choice competition is a pure, audited, popular vote. It is Wichita’s largest and most established contest. Online voting was done July 20 through Aug. 13th. More than 87,000 Wichita Eagle readers cast their votes. A special online directory announced the winners on Sept. 21. A newsprint tabloid on Sept. 28 will publish lists of all the winners and favorites chosen.

CARSTAR Collision Specialists also received the Integrity Award Winner in 2013 from the Better Business Bureau.

Sticker Shock at the SEMA Show

This year’s SEMA Show held a new surprise for me — a secret drop-off at our booth in the form of a mysterious sticker.

There are always surprises at the SEMA Show, which is one reason why it’s such a special event. New faces to meet, old faces that you haven’t seen in a long time with which to reunite, new technological wonders … the list goes on and on.

This year held a new surprise for me, however — a secret drop-off at our booth. Visiting the booth one day to make sure the magazines on display were still neat and tidy, I noticed a roll of stickers on the table. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the stickers read: “Collision Repair Equal To Mechanical Repair Rates: Why Not?” And there was also a mysterious symbol that my wild imagination took to be the logo of some secret society. But it wasn’t so mysterious after all; the letter “Y” and the drawing of a knot was a visual representation of: Why + Not. Haha, very clever!
