You may have noticed some information about I-CAR certification at your auto repair service. And you should. I-CAR certification matters when choosing a provider of auto body repair.

Proof of Quality

While many car repair and auto collision repair shops promote their quality service, it does not mean that their team of technicians is properly trained to repair and restore your vehicle. Qualifications matter, and I-CAR certification is a simple means of knowing that the auto technician you select to work on your car or truck has verified and current training and qualifications. I-CAR certification is one of the best ways for you to confirm that your vehicle’s repair or body work is getting done correctly.

I-CAR Certification

I-CAR certification sets the industry standard in the field of auto body collision repair. Established in 1979, the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR) is an education and training resource for auto collision repair shops and technicians. The organization is the industry standard for excellence. As technology and materials change, so does the need to understand and properly care and repair for vehicles. That’s why I-CAR provides training classes and tools for repair technicians, auto body shops, manufacturers and insurance companies. These resources help individuals and companies maintain their knowledge base on the technology and techniques of today, as well as the latest safety standards.

When you see an I-CAR certification logo on your auto collision repair shop, it means that the company and the auto body technicians have achieved the industry standard for auto collision repair training and skill. Technicians who are Platinum-certified hold the highest level of I-CAR training. To keep this status level, technicians are required to complete continuing education courses to stay in tune with the latest safety features, new techniques and technological advancements. When you see a Gold Class Professional certification on an auto collision repair shop, you’ll know that several of their technicians have attained the Platinum-certified level of I-CAR. Materials in their shop and on their website will reflect this highest level of I-CAR certification.
