August 27, 2021 // Franchising.com // CHARLOTTE, NC - CARSTAR, North America’s premier network of independently-owned collision repair facilities, officially cut the ribbon on its newest location in Charlotte, NC, the hometown of Driven Brands. CARSTAR Jerry Rhynes Collision Charlotte is the first CARSTAR facility in Charlotte, bringing the nation’s highest-quality collision repairs to area drivers.

To honor this milestone, CARSTAR held a grand opening celebration at the new, state-of-the-art CARSTAR location.

“We are extremely proud to open our first CARSTAR location in Driven Brands’ backyard, bringing expert collision repair and superior customer service to Charlotte-area drivers,” said Sabrina Thring, chief operating officer for collision, Driven Brands.

Jerry Rhyne, owner of the Rhyne Group, now has three locations – CARSTAR Jerry Rhynes Collision Charlotte, CARSTAR Jerry Rhynes Collision Pineville and CARSTAR Jerry Rhynes Collision Albemarle. Rhyne’s collision repair company has been serving North Carolina since 1975. CARSTAR Jerry Rhynes Collision Charlotte is a Spies Hecker Certified Shop with Axalta Coating Systems. They are also an I-CAR Gold and ASE certified collision center.

“CARSTAR has been a great partner for us,” said Jerry Rhyne, owner, CARSTAR Jerry Rhynes Collision Charlotte. “They have helped us connect with amazing companies like Axalta to create our paint program, they provide operational support to help us enhance our repair processes and they provide incredible savings through its scale – something I simply can’t get as an independent owner.”

The grand opening celebration hosted industry partners from the Charlotte area to enjoy lunch, tours of the facility as well as an opportunity to win raffle prizes. The No. 24 Axlata Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was on-site with exclusive CARSTAR branding as well as the local Kiss 95.1 radio station, providing entertainment for the afternoon.
