Observer Welcomes "Carstar" Collision Center to Evansville

If you look closely as you drive on Water Street, in the office of Brown Seed, is an illuminated sign that reads, CARSTAR. This is the branch estimating office of CARSTAR Collision Service and it is staffed by Jim McCalmont.

I know of the work of CARSTAR because some months ago, my wife hit a deer and we needed the front end of the Mazda repaired. She called the insurer, AIG, and they said, "Take it to CARSTAR, We trust them and they will bill us electronically and we will pay the claim. " And so it was.

The full collision shop is at 1715 West Court Street in Janesville. If you are driving by, stop in and look at their facility. It is the cleanest body shop I have ever seen. And I should know. Some 30 years ago, I had the pleasure of managing a claims office for American Family in St. Paul.

The hope of The Observer is that we can make CARSTAR feel at home here in Evansville and they will open a full auto repair facility here. In the meantime,if you have some auto body repair needs, call Jim McCalmont at 882-0807. Tell him The Evansville Observer sent you. I hope to have their web site linked shortly.
