Carstar Automotive Canada Inc. was named one of Canada's 50 best-managed companies for 2011 by Deloitte. The Hamilton, Ontario-based company, with more than two-dozen locations in Western Canada, primarily across Alberta, was recognized for its comprehensive management, staffing and technical strategy.
"We are very honoured to receive this award," said Sam Mercanti, Carstar president and CEO, who passed on thanks to his franchise partners for "their involvement in helping us achieve this milestone and for their ongoing contribution in the improvement of our business."
Canada's 50-best-managed companies is a national awards program recognizing firms that have established world-class business practices. Winners were honoured at the annual awards gala in Toronto last month.
Other national franchise winners for 2011 include A&W Canada and White Spot Canada.
Carstar franchise costs vary depending on level of services; a breakdown in prices was not made available as Westerm Investor was going to press.
