The Car Craft Group continues to grow its network across the country with new businesses joining from Western Australia, ACT and Queensland. Nearly 90 shops are now displaying the Car Craft logo.
"The level of interest in Queensland especially has been exciting and the recent addition of another business joining in Southern NSW has vindicated the steady approach being taken," Car Craft Queensland State Manager Ben Chesterfield said.
Chesterfield says he has been working hard over several months to secure shops that he believes are of the right mindset and professionalism to join the network and to enhance its footprint in the Sunshine State.
New signings include the recently renamed Victory Motor Bodyworks, (Northside Smash Repairs Brendale) and Cambridge Collision Repairs owned and operated by Tony Savva who also owns Mangano Smash Repairs, another existing Car-Craft member.
Car-Craft has also secured three shops outside of the metro area - Holmes Panel and Paint in Ipswich, owned and operated by a second-generation repairer Matt Bryan and Wilson Panel Works and Holmes Smash Repairs in Toowoomba.
The Car Craft network in Canberra continues to expand with Michael Kustic and Justin Lomas from Southside Bodyworks coming on board.
Car Craft General Manager Peter McMahon said :"The work that Ben has done in both Queensland and Southern NSW has been fantastic and with the recent joining of Karratha Panel and Paint, we have seen more interest from WA business owners.
"The recent announcement of our partnership with AI Insurance has further strengthened the reasons for being part of a group that sees independent ownership as a great strength and offers buying power and so much more. This is especially needed in the current business environment."
