Cars Auto Collision ~ CSN Acquires Second Location


City Autmotive

Nick DiLuca, President of Cars Auto Collision ~ CSN in Burlington, Ontario acquired City Automotive ~CSN also located in Burlington, Ontario providing coverage throughout the city. Randy Pickard founder of City Automotive ~ CSN states, "Nick DiLuca is the best fit for City Automotive. Not only does he operate a successful existing repair facility in Burlington but he also shares similar business practices and the same belief in customer service as I and the staff at City Automotive have embraced over the last 35 years. I know Nick will carry on the City Automotive name with great pride as he has done with Cars Auto Collision ~ CSN."

City Automotive is an 11,000 square foot facility located on the west side of Burlington. Randy Pickard founded City Automotive ~ CSN in 1974, the same year that Burlington became a city (which is where the name came from). A solid reputation and strong customer base has allowed City Automotive to grow and evolve over time.

Nick DiLuca, founder and owner of Cars Auto Collision ~ CSN since 1987 says, "Bringing the two facilities together seemed like a natural fit. I have known Randy Pickard for many years and truly respect the business he built. We have worked together on a number of joint initiatives including our involvement with Collision Solutions Network (CSN). I always viewed Randy and City Automotive as a business partner rather than a competitor which is why I encouraged him to be part of the CSN team from the beginning. I am honoured to carry on the City Automotive name and tradition."

Cars Auto Collision & City Automotive are part of Collision Solutions Network (CSN). CSN is a network of over 60 co-branded collision repair facilities located throughout Ontario and Atlantic Canada. With an average of over 30 years in business, CSN has experience to ensure complete customer service. For more information on CSN, visit www.csninc.ca or email info@csninc.ca
