CARSTAR Canada has announced that CARSTAR Calgary Heritage, owned by Mark Kharfan and the MK Auto Group, has officially received a Tesla certification.

According to a recent press release related to the milestone, in addition to the Tesla certification, CARSTAR Calgary Heritage further possesses certifications in: AMVIC, FCA (Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge), Nissan, Kia, Certified Collision Care, Genesis, Hyundai and Honda Pro First (Honda/Acura).

With this most recent certification, CARSTAR Calgary Heritage has become the first CARSTAR location in Alberta to achieve this milestone.

Alongside a focus on certifications, CARSTAR Calgary Heritage is also reportedly invested in community initiatives, says the press release.

Notably, last year, the auto group hosted a customer appreciation event at CARSTAR Okotoks. The group also participates annually in Shine Season, organizing multiple car washes with all proceeds benefiting CARSTAR’s charity of choice, Cystic Fibrosis, along with hosting a Stampede Breakfast event in July, raising funds for local charities.

"We are incredibly proud to be the first CARSTAR location in Alberta to receive the Tesla certification,” said Mark Kharfan. “This recognition reflects our team's commitment to excellence and reinforces our dedication to providing customers with the highest-quality repair services."

"Mark and his team at CARSTAR Calgary Heritage have always been leaders in their field. Earning the Tesla certification further demonstrates their commitment to providing exceptional repair services,” concluded Andrew Northrup, zone director, CARSTAR Canada. “We are proud to have them as part of the CARSTAR network.”

Collision Repair magazine would like to extend congratulations to CARSTAR Calgary Heritage on this most recent certification milestone.
