CARSTAR is joining parent company Driven Brands to celebrate the opening of the 1,000th Driven Brands collision repair facility in North America—at CARSTAR Patriot Auto Body Little Rock in Little Rock, AR.
Chase Marchese is the owner of the new CARSTAR Patriot Auto Body Little Rock, along with CARSTAR Patriot Auto Body and CARSTAR Auto Body Albert Pike in Hot Springs, AR. He served in the U.S. Army from 2006 to 2011 as a medic in Iraq. Marchese was decorated for his service. He got into the collision repair business after he sold a landscaping company he founded. He was helping a friend with several collision repair shops, and eventually bought into the business seven years ago. Today, he supports veterans through a program where he selects a veteran each quarter and repairs their vehicle for free.
