Marcos Mejia's passion for collision repair was ignited at the age of 12. Later, he built his family-owned collision repair shop in Rockford, IL, into a full-service operation, offering complete auto body repair, aluminum repair, glass replacement, PDR, ADAS calibration, SRS services and calibrations, mechanical repairs as needed for the collision repair, and much more. But he wanted to continue growing his operation.
“I wanted to be part of a major collision industry known all over the country and in other countries,” said Mejia. “Being in the industry, I realized that there wouldn't be anything better than joining the program, and being part of the CARSTAR family!”
Mejia's business is now CARSTAR Team JC Auto Rebuilders. The facility, situated at 3238 W. State St., boasts a sprawling 20,000 square feet, with 17,000 dedicated to production. The location also features 25,000 square feet of secured parking and additional customer and delivery accommodations.
Mejia is committed to building his team and providing the training they need to deliver advanced repairs. He currently has four auto body technicians and two refinish technicians, two estimators and a detailer. He plans to keep on adding people to the team as the business grows. They are an I-CAR Gold Class certified shop and are also A/C servicing certified 1234-YF or regular 134-Freon.
“Marcos Mejia has already shown exceptional promise, and I eagerly anticipate witnessing his journey as he expands his impact within CARSTAR, achieving new milestones along the way,” said Damien Reyna, COO, U.S. collision, Driven Brands.
