CARSTAR, North America’s premier network of independently owned collision repair facilities, announces the opening of CARSTAR Gimli, located at 107109 Provincial Trunk Highway 9, Gimli, Manitoba R0C 1B0.

Owners of CARSTAR Gimli, Dan Jonsson and Skye Grexton, have been in the collision repair industry for over 30 years.

Looking to continue growing their business, they joined CARSTAR in 1998 and have since grown their operations to seven locations.

“With vehicle technology advancing faster than ever, there are more requirements to ensure a repair is done safely for our valued customers,” says, owner, CARSTAR Gimli.

“Joining CARSTAR helps us as they prioritize training and education, to enhance our services so we can better serve communities like Gimli.”

CARSTAR Gimli is a 3,000 square foot facility that is an MPI accredited facility and has its I-CAR Gold and Ford Aluminum certifications.

With a strong team of expertly trained technicians, this premier collision repair centre understands the importance of repair quality, no matter the make or model.

“Dan and Skye have always prioritized the community they serve, going the extra mile with their collision repair quality and customer service standards,” says Tony Mammone, vice president of operations, CARSTAR.

“They go above and beyond for their community, providing free car washes and detailing for all repairs, sponsoring local teams and giving back to causes like Cystic Fibrosis Canada. We are excited to see these incredibly hardworking owners extend their services to new regions, like Gimli.”

As a long-time supporter of Cystic Fibrosis Canada, the CARSTAR charity of choice, the team is looking to continue those fundraising efforts in the Gimli region.

The team also supports causes close to their community including the local world championship curling team led by Kerri Einarson, being a part of the Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce.
