CARSTAR announced the opening of CARSTAR Body Lines Collision, located at 1923 Freedom Blvd., Freedom, CA 95019.
Jorge Mendoza, owner of CARSTAR Body Lines Collision, takes great pride in the family of team members he has established. Mendoza’s stepfather is heavily involved in the business operations and the duo is also supported by Mendoza’s sister, Tracy, who serves as the facility’s office manager.
“At this point in my career, I think I’ve worked in every angle of collision repair,” said Mendoza. “I got my start washing bathrooms and sweeping floors at the body shop down the street. From there, I passionately served in every role from prepper to painter until I decided to take the rewarding path of becoming an owner.”
The 10,000-square-foot facility was constructed just six years ago and with a total of 15 driven employees, the center is fully equipped to service all the community’s collision repair needs. Additionally, CARSTAR Body Lines Collision offers in-house alignments and tire rotations that will get customers back on the road safely, efficiently and effectively.
“Growing up, I often felt like I was the kid who wasn’t supposed to make it,” said Mendoza. “After joining CARSTAR, I feel like I’ve made it. From the opportunities it offered, availability of DRP programs, open communication and clear processes, I can trust that not only did I make the right choice, I really have made it.”
CARSTAR Body Lines Collision is I-CAR Gold Class certified and eager to earn Tesla and EV certifications to expand into electric vehicle repair and stay on par with industry trends.
“I’m immensely proud to welcome Jorge and his family to our CARSTAR network,” said Damien Reyna, COO, U.S. collision, Driven Brands. “It’s not an easy feat to start and build your career from the ground up and Jorge has truly exemplified what it means to be a CARSTAR owner. What better way to do so than with his family by his side!”
The CARSTAR Body Lines Collision team is excited to connect with their new community through local sponsorships and future community programming.
