Sponsor Spotlight: CSN Frank’s Collision Repair Centre

Every ACE Blacks player knows the feeling: you take a hit, you bounce back up, you get back in the game. As it turns out, the crew at CSN Frank’s spends their days doing the very same thing — taking what’s bent, dented, and banged up, and making it whole again.

When CSN Frank’s stepped up to support our team this season, they didn’t talk about cars. They talked about kids. “We believe in investing in our community and supporting opportunities that help young people grow,” they told us. That’s the kind of sponsor we’re proud to introduce.

More Than a Body Shop — A Vernon Institution

For more than 45 years, CSN Frank’s has been the name Vernon drivers trust after a fender-bender, a hailstorm, or one of those days where nothing goes right. Their promise is right there in the slogan: “No matter what happens… we’ll straighten it out.”

Today they’re part of the CSN Collision network — one of Canada’s largest collision repair families, connecting drivers coast to coast — while staying a local shop at heart. That combination means national-grade standards with a team that still treats you like a neighbour, because in Vernon, you are one.

Why They’re in Our Corner

Plenty of businesses could simply write a cheque. CSN Frank’s wanted to back something they believe in. In their words: “Youth basketball teaches valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, leadership, and perseverance. ACE Hoops provides a positive environment where athletes can develop both on and off the court, and we’re proud to support an organization that helps young players build confidence and reach their potential.”

Read that back and it’s almost our mission statement. Attitude, Confidence, Effort — the three words our Blacks live by — are exactly the skills CSN Frank’s wanted to invest in. When a business sees their values reflected in a group of kids and decides to step up, that’s a partnership worth celebrating.

Craftsmanship You Can Count On

Ask them what sets the shop apart and the answer isn’t about machines — it’s about people. “What sets CSN Frank’s apart is our commitment to quality service, trusted expertise, and genuine relationships with our customers,” they shared. “We take pride in being a business that people can count on.”

That shows up in the work. Their technicians are OEM-certified across brands like Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Ford, Chrysler, Genesis, and Tesla, so your vehicle is repaired to the manufacturer’s exact standards. Every job is backed by a national lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle — and if you’d rather not drive in, you can start with a free photo estimate online.

Thank You, CSN Frank’s

Sponsors like CSN Frank’s are the reason our Blacks can train, travel, and compete. Their message to our families says it better than we could: “Thank you for supporting these young athletes and being part of their journey. We wish all the players a successful season filled with growth, great memories, and plenty of fun. Keep working hard, supporting one another, and enjoying every moment on and off the court!”

So next time your vehicle needs some love — a scratch, a dent, or a real repair — give the shop that backs our athletes a chance to straighten it out. Stop by, call, or start a free estimate online, and let them know ACE Hoops sent you.
