CARSTAR Canada has announced the opening of CARSTAR Peterborough.

Owned by new multi-CARSTAR store owners Jim and Cathy Shirtliff, CARSTAR Peterborough is ready to serve the Peterborough, Ontario area and the surrounding communities from its new facility, located at 1811 Ashburnham Drive.

The Shirtliffs have been a franchise partner with CARSTAR for over 14 years, and say they are excited to bring their experience to the greater Peterborough community. The new CARSTAR Peterborough location is a 6,000 square foot facility offering full collision and glass repair, detailing and is also completely handicap accessible.

“Entering into this new location with CARSTAR behind us is comforting, as the network has always supported our values and commitment to customer service,” says Jim Shirtliff. “We know Peterborough and its surrounding communities are growing, and we’re thrilled that we get to be a part of it by offering our collision and glass repair support when people need it most.”

“Jim and Cathy are what you think of when you picture a family owned business,” said CARSTAR Regional Development Manager Collin Welsh. “The Shirtliffs are the epitome of kindness in not only going above and beyond for their customers, but giving back to communities through Cystic Fibrosis Canada and supporting local soccer teams.”
