A Legacy Built in
Southeast Texas.
Before CARSTAR, there was a commitment to serving Southeast Texas families — one customer, one vehicle, and one relationship at a time.
For more than 75 years, this community has trusted the people behind this name to provide honest service, build lasting relationships, and take care of their neighbors.
That legacy began with Aubrey Raiford, whose dedication, integrity, and commitment to people helped establish a foundation of trust throughout Southeast Texas.
When the time came, Larry and Patti King accepted the responsibility of carrying that tradition forward, honoring the values that built the business while continuing to serve the families and communities who placed their trust in them.
For nearly three decades, Larry and Patti built upon that foundation — earning the confidence of generations of customers through hard work, personal relationships, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
In 2023, the Energy Country name retired, but the commitment did not.
Today, that same dedication continues through CARSTAR — combining generations of local trust with modern collision repair technology, advanced craftsmanship, and a promise to care for every customer like a neighbor.
The Same Commitment.
A new name. The same people. The same promise.
Today's vehicles require advanced technology, precision equipment, and trained technicians.
At CARSTAR, we combine modern collision repair capabilities with the customer-first values that have served Southeast Texas families for generations.
The name changed. The commitment didn't.
— Larry & Patti King
