Honda Auto Body Shop

This Honda body shop is overseen by I-CAR (The Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair) is an international, not-for-profit organization dedicated to training those in the collision industry with the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve a complete and safe Honda auto body shop.

Shops who achieve I-CAR’s highest level of training are awarded the I-CAR Gold Class Professionals designation for their dedication and commitment to training staff involved in the repair process. The Gold Class designation is the highest training level recognized in the industry, and every ProFirst collision repair facility has the distinction of being an I-CAR Gold Class Professional.

Honda Auto Body Shop Specific Training

In addition to the I-CAR Gold Class designation, each ProFirst Honda auto body shop has received Honda-specific training through I-CAR. The training provides Honda-specific information about vehicle construction materials and general repair considerations, specific repair procedures, manufacturer’s position statements relative to vehicle repair, hybrid electric and alternative fuel vehicle repair considerations, and more.

When you need collision repair, consider Imperial Auto Body, a ProFirst Honda auto body shop, recognized by Honda for their training and commitment to a higher level of customer satisfaction.

Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone, in the way Honda and Acura cars are built, and in the way they are repaired after a collision. Due to the increasing application of on-board safety, collision avoidance technology, and advanced materials in vehicle manufacturing, the collision repair industry and repair technology are evolving with increasing speed and intensity.

Today, it takes a highly-qualified Honda auto body shop to properly repair a Honda or Acura automobile – one with training, skill, the proper tools and equipment and the latest repair information. It takes a shop dedicated to their craft – a ProFirst Certified shop. Is your shop ready to meet the evolution of collision repair head-on?
