Carwiz announced on Jan. 24 that it had signed its first affiliate partnership in Canada. A deal with Canadian partner Northwestern Auto Group will result in three new Carwiz offices — one in the city of Vancouver, one at Vancouver International Airport, and one at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

This expansion comes on the heels of the fall 2021 launch of Carwiz’s U.S. Affiliate Program.

“We’re honored to have been selected by Northwestern Auto Group to build on their future,” says Frane Herceg, regional franchise manager at Carwiz. “It’s perfectly aligned with our North American expansion. And it further demonstrates that the Carwiz brand is gaining traction among industry operators.”

The addition of three new locations raises the total of Carwiz offices around the world to more than 100 since the brand embarked on a global expansion in 2019. Overall, Carwiz is available in 20 countries. In addition to the United States and Canada, Carwiz offices are located in Greece, Croatia, Albania, Malta, St. Maarten, Latvia, Iceland, Serbia, Poland, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Mauritius (in East Africa), Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, and starting later this year, Romania.
