What difference do certified auto body shop technicians mean for your auto body repair?

When you’re getting your vehicle repaired after an accident, not all body shops are created equal. The skill level and training of the technician working on your car directly impacts how safe, reliable, and long-lasting the repair will be.

That’s why at Tri-Lakes Collision, we take certification seriously — because your safety depends on it.


🧑‍🔧 What Is a Certified Collision Technician?

A certified collision repair technician is someone who has been professionally trained and tested by national organizations or specific manufacturers. These certifications ensure that a technician:

  • Understands modern vehicle structures and repair protocols
  • Follows manufacturer-approved repair techniques
  • Works with the latest tools, equipment, and materials
  • Meets quality and safety standards required by insurers

At Tri-Lakes Collision, our team includes ASE-certified and I-CAR trained technicians — the gold standards in collision repair education.


🔧 Why It Matters for Your Vehicle

  1. Safety First
    Cars today are designed with complex crumple zones, sensors, and high-strength materials. Improper repairs can compromise your car’s ability to protect you in future accidents.
  2. Proper Use of OEM Procedures
    Certified techs follow Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) repair procedures — not shortcuts. This ensures parts fit correctly and function as intended.
  3. Better Paint and Finish Results
    Trained technicians know how to prep, prime, blend, and finish paint correctly — leading to better, longer-lasting results that match your factory color.
  4. Insurance Approval and Warranty Compliance
    Many insurers and warranties require that work be performed by certified repair professionals to maintain coverage. Unqualified repairs can void warranties or delay claims.
