I-CAR Gold Class Technicians

When it comes to collision repairs, you want to make sure you’re trusting your vehicle to the best. But how do you know if the technicians working on your car are truly qualified? Simply look for an I-CAR Gold Class certification. With this certification, you can trust that these technicians are highly trained in all aspects of modern collision repair. Let’s take a moment to explore what I-CAR Gold Class certification is and how it benefits all our customers.

What Is I-CAR?

I-CAR stands for the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair. Its mission is to certify that collision repairs are performed with the most advanced technology and techniques in the industry. This organization offers educational courses for collision repair professionals, ensuring that they have the skills and knowledge needed to complete high-quality repairs.

After completing these courses, collision repair professionals can become certified by I-CAR. This certification proves they’re up to date on all current industry standards. It also gives customers the confidence to find and choose the most qualified collision repair specialists at a moment’s notice.

What Is I-CAR Gold Class Certification?

I-CAR is an international, non-profit organization dedicated to providing the highest-quality training and education for collision repair professionals. It offers various programs and certifications including the I-CAR Gold Class Collision Repair program.

This program recognizes companies that employ technicians with the latest knowledge and skills in all areas of collision repair. To become certified, a company must meet and maintain strict standards established by I-CAR. Gold Class repair shops employ technicians who have completed I-CAR’s Professional Development Program (PDP) for their respective roles.

The PDP features training paths for distinct collision repair roles. These roles are Estimator, Refinish Technician, Structural Technician, and Non-Structural Technician. Any single technician can only hold up to two unique roles at a time, and Gold Class requirements for each role scale based on shop size.

Why Certification Matters

The importance of working with certified technicians can’t be overstated when it comes to collision repair. Without certification, there’s no way of knowing if the technicians have received the proper training to handle situations that arise during a repair job. The wrong choice could end up costing you more time and money in the future, as well as compromising your safety down the road.

Luckily, you can rest easy by working with I-Car Gold Class certified technicians. You can trust that they’ve been trained by experts according to current industry standards and best practices for collision repair work.

Benefits of I-CAR Gold Class Technicians

When it comes time to choose a shop for collision repairs, it’s always best to look for one that holds an I-CAR Gold Class certification. These professionals receive extensive training in the latest techniques used in the industry, and they provide quality collision repairs for a wide variety of makes and models.

I-CAR certified technicians won’t cut corners, use old parts or materials, or employ outdated equipment or techniques. Instead, they’ll use only high-quality materials and new parts that meet safety standards to ensure your vehicle performs at its best after any repair job.

Finally, because these technicians have been trained by experts in their field, you can trust that your vehicle will be repaired correctly, efficiently, and on schedule. This means you can always expect professional-grade collision repairs without major delays, hidden fees, or frustrating follow-up appointments.

Why Your Vehicle's Paint Job Needs a Lifetime Warranty

December 24, 2024

When it comes to vehicle repairs, one of the most noticeable aspects is the paint job. Whether you’ve been in an accident, need to restore a faded finish, or simply want a fresh coat of paint, your car’s exterior is not just about looks—it’s about protection and longevity. At Morrow Collision Center, we believe in giving our customers peace of mind with a lifetime warranty on every paint job we perform. Here’s why that’s so important—and why we’re proud to offer the best technology in the industry, including the PPG MoonWalk® Paint Machine , which makes us the only shop in Nebraska with this cutting-edge system. 1. Quality That Lasts A vehicle’s paint job is more than just an aesthetic upgrade. It’s an important part of protecting your car’s body from nature’s elements. The right paint can help safeguard against rust, UV damage, and everyday wear and tear. When you invest in a quality paint job, you want to be sure that it will last. A lifetime warranty ensures that the paint finish remains as durable and vibrant as the day it was applied—no matter what happens down the road. At Morrow Collision Center , we stand behind our work.

Protection Against Environmental Factors The harsh Nebraska weather can be tough on a vehicle’s exterior. From the intense summer heat to the icy winter conditions, your car’s paint job is constantly exposed to a variety of environmental stressors. Even minor chips and scratches can lead to more severe issues over time, like rust or corrosion. By choosing a paint job with a lifetime warranty, you’re making an investment in your car’s long-term protection.

It’s an investment that pays off by keeping your car looking sharp and maintaining its value over time. 6.
