Through a series of calls, we will see if your business and CARSTAR are a match. Once that is determined, we’ll set up an on-site visit. Your Franchise Development Director will come to your shop and let you know what needs to be done to get your shop ready for a CARSTAR partnership.

Now it’s time to review the Franchise Disclosure Document, which details all the information you need to know about CARSTAR. Your Franchise Development Director will help you review the document and answer any questions you may have. At this point, you will also have the opportunity to speak with other Franchise Partners to hear what owning a CARSTAR is like from their point of view.

Next up is Discovery Day. This is the time to ask any outstanding questions and to become more comfortable with the decision to partner with CARSTAR. At Discovery Day, you’ll have the opportunity to spend time with the CARSTAR leadership team and hear directly from experts in education, marketing, operations, insurance and more.

At this point, you will be offered a CARSTAR partnership through a franchise agreement. Once you sign the agreement your partnership is official. Welcome to the family!

Post-Conversion Steps

You’ll have a kick-off call with your AMO and the CARSTAR team to review next steps. By the time this call is over, you will have a timeline determined for your store’s conversion.

CARSTAR heads to your shop and lays out a plan to help with your store’s branding, training, systems and processes. They are there to support and are ready to help make each and every transition run as smoothly as possible.   

Your partnership will be announced with a press release to let the world know that your partnership with CARSTAR is on!

Show off your new look to your customers and accelerate with new revenue streams that come through the CARSTAR network.
