Factory Certifications

Manufacturer training and knowledge are imperative with the technology that is utilized in todays cars and trucks. Only a shop that is trained to fix your car the way the manufacturer designed the vehicle to be built can return your car to factory specifications. The construction methods and materials used have changed dramatically. Audi, BMW, Tesla, Jaguar and a few others have integrated metals such as ultra-high strength steel, aluminum and carbon fiber in their cars. These new materials and construction designs require precise and specific tools and repair procedures. Repairing an aluminum body after a collision requires the use of a clean room free of any contaminants.
