What I-CAR Gold Class means
I-CAR is the collision repair industry's training organization. Gold Class is its recognition for shops whose people complete the training I-CAR sets for their roles.
Why training matters after a collision
Cars change every model year, with new materials, new ways of joining parts and more sensors. A shop that keeps its team trained is better placed to repair a car the way it was built.
I-CAR training is separate from the certification programs run by individual automakers. Our San Jose shop is listed for both.
What we do for your car
- Full damage blueprinting before any repair begins, so the estimate matches what the car needs.
- Computerized laser measuring to return the structure to factory specification, measured again at the end.
- Computerized color matching so the paint blends with the rest of the car.
- Inspection and recalibration of ADAS sensors and safety systems as needed.
- A written lifetime warranty on body and paint work for as long as you own the vehicle.
