You might consider the location, price quotes, or turnaround time of various collision shops when deciding where to take your car for repairs after damaging it. But the thing you should really be considering is certification status.
A certified repair facility is one that’s specifically trained by a vehicle manufacturer to repair cars according to that manufacturer’s recommended specifications. And there are several reasons why you should choose a certified repair facility like Zimbrick Body Shops following a collision.
Reasons to Choose a Certified Repair Facility
Below are five reasons why you should choose a repair facility that’s certified by your vehicle manufacturer.
The work will be done correctly
You never know what kind of improvisations or cut corners you might find at a facility that’s not certified. Technicians at these shops are typically finding a way to perform the repair any way they know how. And their way of doing things may go against what is determined to be the proper way of doing it according to the very manufacturer who designed and built the car to begin with.
Certified technicians, on the other hand, will repair the vehicle exactly the way the manufacturer wants it, ensuring the car is as good as new when it leaves the shop.
The proper parts will be used
A certified repair facility will only use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts or those approved by the manufacturer. This guarantees that your vehicle will be outfitted with parts that are certified for performance standards and fit exactly as they are designed.
A collision shop that’s not certified might use parts from other makes and models and just “make them fit.”
Warranties are kept in place
In many cases, a warranty is voided if any repairs are performed by a technician who isn’t certified by the manufacturer or if any uncertified parts are used. Visiting a certified repair facility can help keep your warranty valid.
Certified technicians have the proper training
Certified technicians undergo training at various intervals to keep up to date with the repair standards of the latest makes and models on the road. If you have a newer vehicle, a repair shop that’s not certified by the manufacturer may not know exactly how to fix it and could open you up to risk.
Safety and performance will be protected
Having your car repaired at a certified repair facility ensures the safety and performance of the vehicle are kept intact. When repaired at a shop that’s not certified, you may be getting back on the road in a car that’s less safe and less efficient than before.
