Press Release: Car Crafters Opening Second Location
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Car Crafters To Open Second Location
Albuquerque, NM – October 21, 2014 – Car Crafters Inc. has announced plans to open a second body shop in Albuquerque. This will be the first time in Car Crafters’ 32 year history that it will operate in two separate locations. The new shop is located off Paseo del Norte and I-25, right across the street from Lowe’s.
Since President and Founder Jim Guthrie started Car Crafters in his parent’s garage in 1982, he has moved Car Crafters to new locations around Albuquerque to accommodate its growth. Each time Guthrie has expanded in the past, he has moved or built a larger location. Guthrie now sees the opportunity of opening a second location and has chosen the Paseo/I-25 area.
Car Crafters is a local body shop that has been serving Albuquerque for 32 years. After getting kicked out of his parent’s garage, President Jim Guthrie leased a one car garage. The current location has grown from 50,000 to 70,000 sq. ft over the past 7 years. Car Crafters currently employs 82 people and was named of the Top Workplaces in New Mexico through a survey of company employees conducted by Workplace Dynamics and the Albuquerque Journal.
Car Crafters has yet to release an official date for the Grand Opening of the new shop. Early estimates point to a Summer 2015 Grand Opening, or between 7 to 10 months.
