Cosmetic Auto Chicago holds the collision repair industry's most prestigious credentials — so you know your vehicle is in expert hands.
Why Certifications Matter
Not all body shops are created equal. I-CAR (Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair) is the recognized national standard for collision repair training. When a shop achieves Gold Class status and its technicians earn Platinum credentials, it means one thing: they know how to fix your car correctly — to manufacturer standards, every time.
I-CAR Credentials
Issued by I-CAR — the national standard for collision repair training and certification.
Gold Class is the highest shop-level recognition in the collision repair industry. To achieve and maintain Gold Class status, shops must demonstrate that their repair professionals receive annual role-relevant, hands-on training. Less than 25% of collision repair shops nationwide earn this distinction.
I-CAR Platinum is the highest designation available to an individual collision repair professional. It represents the completion of all role-relevant I-CAR training and demonstrates mastery of their specific role in the repair process. Our lead technicians hold Platinum credentials.
What It Means For You
I-CAR training follows OEM repair procedures, ensuring your vehicle is returned to pre-accident condition using the correct methods.
Structural repairs, airbag systems, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are handled by trained, credentialed professionals.
All major insurance carriers recognize and recommend I-CAR Gold Class shops, meaning less back-and-forth on claims.
Proper repairs preserve your vehicle's structural integrity and resale value — shortcuts can cost you thousands down the road.
