What is an I-CAR Gold Standard?

Any time you take your vehicle out on the road, you are at risk of becoming involved in some kind of damaging accident. It could be a minor scratch along the side, or something major, such as a collision. Whether youre at fault or not, an accident will be stressful and you want to be sure that you have your car fixed properly, professionally, and in the least amount of time possible. There are a lot of auto body and repair shops out there, so how do you know that you will receive the service that you need, in order to decrease your stress? Well, one way is to check to ensure that the businesses on your short list have received the I-CAR gold standard. We will take a look at just what this means below.

I-CAR

I-CAR stands for Inter-Industry Conference on Auto collision Repair. The group is an international body of car experts that has been around since 1979. The body includes representatives from all areas of repair, and is officially registered as a not-for-profit organization.

I-CAR is responsible for a number of areas when it comes to vehicle repair, including the development and implementation of training programs to professionals in the various areas of the collision industry. The organization also conducts research into collision repair matters and insurance issues, and uses the information obtained through this research to provide enhanced programs. The organization also offers a forum through which consumers and professionals alike may express concerns and questions over the issues surrounding automobile repair.

Gold Standard

Gold Class Professional standard is the official seal of the I-CAR organization. It demonstrates that the employees of the auto repair business whom you are considering for your repair work have successfully completed the best training available in areas of the industry, which were developed and administered by I-CAR itself.

I-CAR Gold Standard indicates not only that individuals in the repair shop have received training, but also keep their knowledge up to date in order to provide the best repair services to the consumer.

Because of the international presence and widely recognized impact of I-CAR on the repair industry, there is no better endorsement for a repair shop than to display the Gold Standard. Make sure that any shop on your short list can demonstrate this for you, and you will be assured of the very best in auto repair today.

Quite frankly, even second hand car dealerships cannot offer you a better deal than the auctions. There is always a middle man fee that used car dealers would have to charge for profits and their service. On the other hand, the government is only concerned about selling away the repossessed or seized cars without making a profit.
