3 more locations for Craftsman

BC’s largest chain of collision repair shops is growing again. Our first of three new locations debuted as a Craftsman Collision on May 28 in Langley’s Walnut Grove neighbourhood. Formerly Don Beck Collision, the spacious shop will be seen by thousands of motorists every day in that growing section of the city. Craftsman promises to deliver the same high quality of service on which the Don Beck chain was founded – with the existing staff, we might add – and with the bonus of free AIR MILES® reward miles.

A former AirCare centre in White Rock will have become our 24th Craftsman location sometime this summer. And finally, when it opens in late summer, a 20,000-foot facility in the Victoria suburb of Colwood will become Craftsman’s fourth and most impressive Vancouver Island location – and the chain’s 25th.

These three new shops come just a year after we opened our second Calgary location. Distinctive Auto Works opened in 1993 and was acquired by us in 2007.  Located at 2328 Pegasus Rd. northeast near Calgary Airport, the 6000-foot upmarket shop specializes in Mercedes-Benz, and is fully authorized by Mercedes-Benz Canada.

Although Distinctive’s technicians are rigourously trained in Mercedes systems, with frequent upgrading sessions to improve their skills and knowledge, non-Mercedes owners will be happy to hear that with its high standards and Mercedes-approved equipment, Distinctive brings its expertise and the same high Craftsman quality to all leading makes of vehicle.
