The most trusted and reputable auto body repair shops put in the effort to maintain the highest certifications possible. Many of these involve rigorous vetting processes, challenging tests and specialized training, as well as an investment in specific tools and equipment required by each manufacturer. Most certifications require annual or routine re-testing to keep technicians and facilities up to date with new tools, technologies and processes.
