What Makes a Body Shop "Certified"?

🏆 I-CAR Gold Class Certification

The industry's highest standard. I-CAR Gold Class shops have technicians trained in modern repair techniques, including aluminum body work, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibration, and manufacturer-specific procedures.

🔧 OEM Certification

Original Equipment Manufacturer certified shops have direct relationships with brands like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, and Toyota. They follow manufacturer-specific repair procedures and use genuine parts.

✓ Insurance Direct Repair Programs (DRP)

DRP shops have pre-negotiated agreements with major insurance companies, streamlining the claims process. However, remember: YOU have the right to choose ANY shop you want - not just the one your insurance recommends.

7 Questions to Ask BEFORE Choosing a Body Shop

1. "Are you I-CAR Gold Class certified?"
This ensures technicians have advanced training in modern vehicle repair.
2. "What kind of warranty do you offer?"
Look for LIFETIME warranties on repairs - not just 6 months or 1 year.
3. "Do you use OEM or aftermarket parts?"
OEM (original) parts maintain your vehicle's value and safety ratings.
4. "Can I see photos of similar repairs you've done?"
Quality shops proudly show their work. Ask for before/after photos.
5. "Do you handle the insurance claim for me?"
Full-service shops coordinate directly with insurance adjusters.
6. "How long will repairs take?"
Get a realistic timeline. Complex repairs can take 2-4 weeks.
7. "Do you provide a rental car?"
Many shops coordinate rental cars covered by your insurance.

🚨 KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: Utah Insurance Law

YOU choose the body shop - NOT your insurance company.

Under Utah law, you have the RIGHT to select ANY licensed repair facility. Insurance companies may "recommend" shops in their network (DRP), but they CANNOT require you to use them.
