LORD representatives will deliver valuable training to CARSTAR through best practice programs.

Additionally, those repair centers or locations concerned with earning or maintaining I-CAR Gold Class status can earn an I-CAR Gold Class point by attending the Fusor 001 hands-on training course.

According to Larry Jefferies, executive vice president of CARSTAR Automotive Canada, CARSTAR Canada has chosen to recommend the use the Fusor line for all of its adhesives, soft fascia repairs and sealers because these products carry a lifetime warranty for the bond and corrosion resistance.
