Kia Canada améliore son programme de certification des ateliers de réparation de carrosserie grâce à une entente stratégique avec Centre de carrosserie certifié
(Mississauga, Ontario) 20 novembre 2017 – Kia Canada inc. (KCI) a annoncé aujourd’hui la conclusion d’une entente stratégique avec Centre de carrosserie certifié, la division canadienne d’Assured Performance Network, afin de développer, de lancer et de gérer son programme de certification d’ateliers de carrosserie. Kia Canada sera un partenaire stratégique à part entière, tirant profit des services de certification d’ateliers de carrosserie, de l’infrastructure et du programme clé en main offert par Centre de carrosserie certifié.
Le programme Centre de carrosserie certifié permet aux concessionnaires et aux ateliers indépendants de répondre aux normes de Kia Canada afin de devenir des ateliers de carrosserie de choix pour leur clientèle. Grâce à ce programme, chaque propriétaire de véhicule Kia pourra choisir un atelier de réparation de carrosserie certifié qui possède les outils, l’équipement, la formation et les installations nécessaires pour réparer son véhicule selon les normes du constructeur, tout en préservant la précision d’assemblage, la finition, la durabilité, la fonctionnalité et les caractéristiques de sécurité du véhicule. Cela est particulièrement important en raison de la conception de plus en plus complexe des véhicules Kia et des exigences plus élevées en matière de réparation.
En profitant du processus de certification de Centre de carrosserie certifié, Kia est en mesure d’éliminer les coûts redondants et de rendre la certification plus abordable pour ses concessionnaires et pour les ateliers indépendants qui répondent à leurs normes.
« Le but ultime de KCI est d’offrir une expérience incomparable à chaque nouveau propriétaire d’un véhicule Kia », affirme John Stoian, directeur des pièces et du service après-vente chez Kia Canada. « Ce partenariat et l’émergence du réseau canadien Centre de carrosserie certifié par KIA démontrent le sérieux de notre engagement. »
Dès le 28 novembre 2017, tous les ateliers certifiés par Centre de carrosserie certifié auront automatiquement la possibilité d’être reconnus par Kia Canada et ainsi devenir un Centre de carrosserie certifié par KIA. Ces ateliers recevront une plaque officielle Certifié Kia et pourront télécharger les logos officiels de la marque. Leurs coordonnées figureront dans le moteur de recherche en ligne destiné aux automobilistes et aux assureurs. Ce partenariat permet de consolider la stratégie d’affaires et de mettre en valeur le slogan de ce programme de certification commun : « Une certification unique, largement reconnue ».
« Nous sommes fiers de nous associer à Kia Canada afin d’offrir le programme Centre de carrosserie certifié par KIA à nos ateliers certifiés », note Leanne Jefferies, vice-présidente des opérations canadiennes chez Assured Performance. « L’union de nos deux programmes de certification offre aux ateliers les plus performants une façon efficace de se démarquer dans leur marché, en s’associant aux marques les plus influentes de l’industrie automobile. De plus, cette initiative aide les constructeurs automobiles à respecter leurs engagements envers leur clientèle. »

Kia Canada improves Certified Collision Repair Facility program through strategic agreement with Certified Collision Care
(Mississauga, ON) November 20, 2017 – Kia Canada announced today they are entering into a strategic agreement with Certified Collision Care, the Canadian division of Assured Performance Network, to develop, launch and manage its Certified Collision Repair Facility program. Kia Canada will be an integral strategic partner, leveraging the joint-effort collision repair facility certification services, infrastructure, and turnkey program offered by Certified Collision Care.
The Certified Collision Care program allows independent and dealer-owned collision repair facilities to meet the qualifications necessary to be recognized by Kia Canada as a collision repair facility of choice for its customers. The program will ensure that Kia owners can choose a Certified collision repair provider that has the proper tools, equipment, training and facility required to repair their vehicle to OEM specifications while maintaining the vehicle’s fit, finish, durability, functionality and safety. This is particularly important based upon the increasingly complex vehicle design and repair requirements of Kia vehicles.
By leveraging the Certified Collision Care certification process, Kia is able to eliminate redundant costs, making certification more affordable for their dealerships and independently owned repair businesses that can meet their requirements.
“At KCI, our passion is to provide an unparalleled experience to our customers throughout their ownership experience” said John Stoian, Director of Parts and After Sales at Kia Canada Inc. “This partnership and the network of ‘Kia Certified Collision Repair Facilities’ in Canada further demonstrates this core commitment.”
All Certified Collision Care facilities will automatically have the option to be recognized by Kia Canada as a Kia Certified Collision Repair Centre on November 28, 2017. Kia certified facilities will be included on the consumer and insurer facing online locators and have access to Kia Certified signage and logos as part of the integrated Certified Collision Care program. This strategic partnership further reinforces the business strategy and slogan of the joint-effort certification program, “Certified Once, Recognized by Many.”
“We are proud to partner with Kia Canada to add the Kia Certified Collision Repair Centre program to our Certified shop’s credentials” said Leanne Jefferies, VP, Canadian Operations, Assured Performance. “Our joint-effort certification program provides top performing collision repairers an effective means to differentiate themselves in their market by aligning with the most powerful brands in the automotive industry, and it helps auto manufacturers fulfill their commitment to their customers.”

Exemple de réussite : Birchwood Collision Centres
Le groupe manitobain Birchwood Automotive a ouvert ses portes en 1963 et a rapidement étendu ses activités, avec l’ouverture de deux établissements qui détiennent tous deux le titre de Centre de carrosserie certifié – Birchwood Collision Centre, à Pointe West, et Birchwood Collision Centre, à Regent. Ils ont fait d’importants investissements en matière d’outils, d’équipement, de formation et de technologies, et ont fait de la certification OEM un élément important de leur entreprise.
Les ateliers Birchwood Collision Centres arborent fièrement leurs plaques de certification OEM sur leurs murs et éduquent leurs clients sur les raisons pour lesquelles un atelier de réparation de carrosserie certifiée par un OEM constitue le meilleur choix pour une réparation sécuritaire. En faisant la promotion de leurs certifications OEM, ils ont remarqué une augmentation constante de leur achalandage.
Art Crawford, directeur de Birchwood Collision, croit fermement au programme Centre de carrosserie certifié et a été l’un des premiers réparateurs à adhérer au programme lorsqu’il a été lancé au Canada au début de 2016. En plus des certifications de Ford, FCA et Nissan via le programme Centre de carrosserie certifié, ses installations détiennent également celles de BMW/MINI, Jaguar Land Rover, Toyota/Lexus, Volvo et Pro-First Honda Acura.
M. Crawford a partagé son point de vue sur la façon dont ces certifications ont aidé son entreprise à développer ses activités et à attirer et fidéliser de nouveaux clients. « Nous sommes fiers d’être certifiés par des OEM et nous tenons à en informer nos clients. Cela prouve à nos précieux clients que nous sommes équipés pour réparer les véhicules correctement, selon les normes des constructeurs. Cela nous aide à nous différencier de la concurrence et à accroître la fidélisation des clients. Puisque notre objectif est d’offrir une expérience client positive, nous constatons une meilleure loyauté de la part de nos clients. Nos certifications OEM soutiennent le lien émotionnel apprécié par les clients lorsqu’ils font réparer leurs véhicules par notre réseau de concessionnaires du groupe Birchwood Automotive. »
Art Crawford croit également que la certification OEM a aidé ses ateliers à augmenter leur efficacité et leur cadence de production. « En effectuant une réparation correctement la première fois et en suivant les procédures de réparation des OEM, nous avons constaté une réduction des frais imprévus et des retours. Notre engagement envers l’excellence opérationnelle est partagé par notre équipe de plus de 100 personnes, ce qui se reflète dans notre croissance », explique le directeur.
Félicitations aux ateliers Birchwood Collision Centres pour avoir maximisé l’impact de leurs certifications OEM ! Nous sommes fiers de compter leurs ateliers dans le réseau Centre de carrosserie certifié !

Certified Collision Care Newsletter: October 2017
Welcome to the Certified Collision Care Newsletter
Our monthly newsletter will provide you with valuable information, program announcements and updates, and tips to maximize your OEM Certification. Would you like to share with your colleagues? They can subscribe to our free newsletter at www.certifiedcollisioncare.ca.
Maximizing your OEM Certified Credentials: Do your insurance partners know about your OEM Certifications? Many Canadian insurers are now adding OEM Certifications to their shop profiles.
As more consumers are educated about OEM Certified collision repair choices, it is important to ensure that your insurance partners have this information. It is up to you to promote your OEM Certified credentials, and ask your insurance partners to update your business profile, so their front-line claims staff has the information when it’s needed. We suggest you send them the press release announcing your OEM Certifications!
When both the insurance company and the vehicle manufacturer recommend the same qualified OEM Certified collision repair facilities to their shared customer (the consumer), it greatly reduces customer stress and enhances the customer repair experience, in addition to ensuring that the collision repair facility has the tools, equipment, training, and facility to safely repair owner vehicles back to OEM specifications.
Take action, and contact your insurance partners today!

Success Story: Birchwood Collision Centres
The Birchwood Automotive Group opened in 1963 and has rapidly expanded operations, with two locations that are both Certified Collision Care Providers – Birchwood Collision Centre at Pointe West and Birchwood Collision Centre on Regent. They have made a significant investment in tools, equipment, training, and technology and have made OEM Certification an important part of their business.
Birchwood Collision Centres proudly display their OEM Certification signs in the front lobby and they educate their customers about why an OEM Certified collision repair facility is their best choice for a safe repair. By promoting their OEM Certifications, they have seen a continued increase in business.
Art Crawford, Director of Birchwood Collision, is a strong believer in the Certified Collision Care program, and was one of the first repairers to join the program when it launched in Canada in early 2016. In addition to OEM Certification with Ford, FCA and Nissan through Certified Collision Care, his facilities also hold OEM Certifications with BMW/MINI, Jaguar Land Rover, Toyota/Lexus, Volvo, and Pro-First Honda Acura.
Art shared his perspective on how OEM Certification has helped to grow their business and attract and retain new customers. “We are proud to be OEM certified and we make a point of educating customers about our certifications. It proves to our valued customers that we are equipped to repair vehicles properly, to manufacturer standards. This helps us to differentiate ourselves from the competition and increase customer retention. And because of our focus on providing a positive customer experience, we see improved loyalty from customers. Our OEM Certifications support the emotional connection that customers enjoy when completing their repairs with our Dealership Network – Birchwood Automotive Group.”
Arthur also believes that OEM Certification has helped their facilities increase their efficiency and throughput. “We have seen a reduction in supplements and in return cycle time by completing a repair correctly the first time, and following OEM repair procedures. Our commitment to operational excellence is shared by our team of over 100, which is demonstrated in our growth”, explains Arthur.
Congratulations to Birchwood Collision Centres on maximizing the impact of their OEM Certifications! We are proud to have their facilities as Certified Collision Care Providers!
Sharing Best Practices
Several Canadian Certified Collision Care Providers attended the recent Assured Performance Network Conference in Phoenix. Thanks for participating!
During the conference repairers had an opportunity to share their best ideas to use OEM Certifications to grow their business. Here are five great ideas:
- Partner with your local dealer: Host Car Clinics for new vehicle owners – provide a meal, refreshments and presentations about vehicle features, OEM Service and OEM Certified Collision Repair.
- Promote to Insurance Brokers: Share point-of-sale materials with insurance brokers so they can educate their customers about OEM Certified collision repair choices.
- Videos: Post videos on your website explaining why OEM Certifications are so important for safe repairs.
- Chamber of Commerce: Talk about your OEM Certifications at Chamber events, meetings and networking breakfasts, to educate your local community about your OEM Certified credentials.
- Show off OEM Certified logos: When you sponsor a local sports team, add your OEM Certified logos to the uniforms.

STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD
Innovation and continuous improvement are hallmarks of Birchwood Collision Centres’ success.
Since 1963, the Birchwood Automotive Group has been keeping Manitobans moving and serving the community. Birchwood opened the doors to Manitoba’s largest state-of-the-art collision centre in the fall of 1999, Birchwood Collision Centre at Pointe West. In January 2006, a second location was opened, Birchwood Collision Centre on Regent. Since then, the Collision Centres have grown to over 100 team members, with further expansion planned in September 2017. During this rapid period of industry change, they have made significant investment in tools, equipment, training and technology and have made OEM Certification an important part of their business. Their facilities hold OEM Certifications with BMW/MINI, Jaguar Land Rover, Toyota/Lexus, Volvo, Pro-First Honda Acura, and Nissan, FCA and Ford through Certified Collision Care.
Advanced repair capabilities
At Birchwood Collision, innovation has been a key component of their success. Continuous improvement and lean principles have guided their rapid growth, as they have responded to new vehicle technologies and advanced material construction. Efficiency is enhanced by their repair blueprinting stations staffed with experienced licensed technicians working along-side their estimators, and a full-time colorist in the refinish department. Their investment in ICAR and OEM specific training ensures their team is qualified to repair current model vehicles to OEM specifications. And with their focus on safety, the environment and efficiency, it’s no surprise that staff at Birchwood have the opportunity for personal growth and to advance their careers within the business.
“Our people are important, and we make every effort to provide a work environment that will allow them to grow personally and professionally—so together we may prosper; provide customers with a superior collision repair experience; and consistently contribute to our communities and the overall success of the Birchwood Automotive Group,” explains Crawford.
A diverse workforce
All Collision Centre team members participate in internal training programs, some of which are mandatory including MVP onboarding and the Covey 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. “In addition, we pay 100 percent of our OEM certification technical training, specifically BMW/MINI, and Jaguar Land Rover,” adds Crawford. Plus, a continuous flow of Lean and Six Sigma training for all team members.
Birchwood currently employs 25 apprentices, all of whom are mentored to complete their Red Seal certifications. Their diverse workforce includes 21 females and 14 visible minorities in technical, administrative and leadership positions, which reflects the positive culture of the business. “We understand the importance of attracting top talent and representing the community in which we live and work,” says Crawford.
Leadership philosophy
“As a recognized leader in the automotive sector, we feel a huge commitment to the welfare of the community we serve,” explains Art Crawford, Director, Birchwood Collision. “Our longstanding support of the United Way, and local non-profit organizations are evidence of that commitment. “
The Birchwood Automotive Group adheres to a number of unwritten, common sense principles that provide the framework for its organization philosophy. Terms such as honest, fair, loyal and progressive accurately describe the Birchwood way of doing business. “Collectively these principles have been our business compass,” says Crawford.
“At Birchwood our leadership philosophy is based on reaching for excellence in three areas—Customer Enthusiasm, Team Member Growth, and Financial Performance. However, if a decision requires we choose a priority, customer enthusiasm will always carry the most weight,” explains Crawford.

CARSTAR PRO EXPERT se voit décerner la certification officielle
Brossard – CARSTAR PRO EXPERT a reçu la certification officielle de Centre de carrosserie certifié, un organisme sans but lucratif voué à la protection des consommateurs, car l’atelier satisfait aux exigences en matière d’outils, d’équipement, de formation et d’installations appropriés pour réparer adéquatement les véhicules selon les recommandations du constructeur participant. Cette certification permet à CARSTAR PRO-EXPERT d’intégrer un réseau regroupant les carrossiers les plus compétents et les plus efficaces au monde. CARSTAR PRO EXPERT est donc désormais certifié par Certified Collision Care, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles et Ford.
Pour obtenir la certification par les constructeurs participants, CARSTAR PRO EXPERT a dû se soumettre à une rigoureuse procédure visant à garantir sa capacité à réparer adéquatement et à assurer la sécurité des véhicules évolués de nouvelle génération. Moins de 5 % des ateliers au pays répondent aux exigences strictes qui mènent à cette certification. Le réseau Centre de carrosserie certifié est composé des meilleurs ateliers de carrosserie de l’industrie, tous ayant respecté ou surpassé les critères d’admissibilité au programme.
Gaétan Gadbois : « Nous avons travaillé très fort pour rester un chef de file dans l’industrie de la réparation de carrosserie. Cette certification officielle démontre notre engagement envers nos clients. Nous sommes fiers de nos techniciens hautement qualifiés. Ils utilisent des outils et des équipements de pointe, ce qui nous permet de livrer un travail de qualité supérieure et d’offrir un service à la clientèle de première classe. »
Les critères de la certification s’appuient sur les exigences des constructeurs automobiles. Ils sont essentiels pour assurer la conformité, la finition, la durabilité, la fonctionnalité, la valeur et la sécurité du véhicule accidenté. Comme les véhicules d’aujourd’hui sont fabriqués en partie de matériaux légers à haute résistance et emploient des technologies de pointe, il est impératif que les réparations effectuées répondent aux exigences des constructeurs afin d’assurer la sécurité des passagers et le fonctionnement adéquat du véhicule. Les constructeurs automobiles souhaitent que les consommateurs puissent trouver un Centre de carrosserie certifié, peu importe où ils habitent, travaillent ou voyagent.
« Les consommateurs doivent avoir la tranquillité d’esprit de pouvoir confier leur véhicule à un atelier ayant le savoir-faire pour le réparer de façon sécuritaire. CARSTAR PRO EXPERT est maintenant un Centre de carrosserie certifié », a annoncé Scott Biggs, chef de la direction d’Assured Performance Collision Care. « L’entreprise s’impose comme la norme servant à évaluer tous les autres ateliers de carrosserie. »

Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette se voit décerner la certification officielle
Montréal, QC – Le programme Centre de carrosserie certifié accrédite un premier atelier au Québec. Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette devient en effet le premier centre de carrosserie de la province à détenir le titre de Centre de carrosserie certifié. Du même coup, Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette obtient les certifications Fiat Chrysler, Nissan et Ford.
Entreprise familiale fondée par Raoul Rivest dans les années 50, Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette est maintenant dirigé par son fils Luc et son petit-fils Simon. L’obtention de ces certifications illustre à quel point Luc et Simon Rivest sont déterminés à s’adapter constamment aux changements qui secouent leur industrie en investissant massivement dans l’outillage, la machinerie et la formation de leurs techniciens.
« Nous sommes très fiers de devenir le premier Centre de carrosserie certifié au Québec et de détenir les certifications Ford, Nissan et FCA », confie Simon Rivest. « Cette reconnaissance témoigne de l’acharnement avec lequel nous avons toujours travaillé afin de réaliser des réparations sécuritaires et durables. Nos clients ainsi que nos assureurs partenaires en profitent tous. En travaillant avec les plus récents équipements et en fournissant les meilleurs outils à nos techniciens, nous arrivons à effectuer des réparations qui respectent les normes des constructeurs. Nous avons bien hâte d’ajouter des certifications d’autres constructeurs à mesure qu’ils se joindront au programme. »
Jean-François Gargya, directeur général de CarrXpert, y est allé de ce commentaire : « J’aimerais féliciter tous les membres de l’équipe de Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette pour avoir obtenu le statut de Centre de carrosserie certifié ainsi que les certifications des constructeurs Fiat Chrysler, Ford et Nissan. Devenir le premier atelier certifié au Québec représente un pas de géant pour Groupe Rivest et pour la bannière CarrXpert au grand complet. »
Le programme Centre de carrosserie certifié permet aux ateliers de carrosserie les plus qualifiés d’obtenir les certifications de différents constructeurs automobiles canadiens au moyen d’une seule démarche et à un coût annuel fixe. Pour mériter le titre, le carrossier doit posséder les outils, l’équipement, la formation et les installations qu’il faut pour réparer les véhicules selon les normes des constructeurs. Cela garantit que les composants du véhicule sont aussi parfaitement ajustés qu’à leur sortie de l’usine et que la finition est à la hauteur des attentes du client. L’automobiliste peut avoir la certitude que son véhicule conservera toute sa durabilité, ses fonctionnalités, sa valeur et ses caractéristiques de sécurité. Centre de carrosserie certifié travaille en partenariat avec Fiat Chrysler Canada, Ford du Canada et Nissan Canada pour gérer et administrer leurs programmes de certification.

Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette se voit décerner la certification officielle
Notre-Dame-des-Prairies – Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette a reçu la certification officielle de Centre de carrosserie certifié, un organisme sans but lucratif voué à la protection des consommateurs, car l’atelier satisfait aux exigences en matière d’outils, d’équipement, de formation et d’installations appropriés pour réparer adéquatement les véhicules selon les recommandations du constructeur participant. Cette certification permet à Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette d’intégrer un réseau regroupant les carrossiers les plus compétents et les plus efficaces au monde. Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette est donc désormais certifié par Certified Collision Care, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford Certified, Nissan.
Pour obtenir la certification par les constructeurs participants, Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette a dû se soumettre à une rigoureuse procédure visant à garantir sa capacité à réparer adéquatement et à assurer la sécurité des véhicules évolués de prochaine génération. Moins de 5 % des ateliers au pays répondent aux exigences strictes qui mènent à la certification. Le réseau certifié est composé des meilleurs ateliers de carrosserie de l’industrie, qui tous respectent ou surpassent les critères d’admissibilité au programme de certification.
« Nous avons travaillé très fort pour rester un chef de file dans l’industrie de la réparation de carrosserie. Cette certification officielle démontre notre engagement envers nos clients. Nous sommes fiers de nos techniciens hautement qualifiés. Ils utilisent des outils et des équipements de pointe, ce qui nous permet de livrer un travail de qualité supérieure et d’offrir un service à la clientèle de première classe », affirme Simon Rivest.
Les critères de la certification s’appuient sur les exigences des constructeurs automobiles. Ils sont essentiels pour assurer la conformité, la finition, la durabilité, la fonctionnalité, la valeur et la sécurité du véhicule accidenté. Comme les véhicules d’aujourd’hui sont fabriqués en partie de matériaux légers à haute résistance et emploient des technologies de pointe, il est impératif que les réparations effectuées répondent aux exigences de leur constructeur afin d’assurer la sécurité des passagers et le fonctionnement adéquat du véhicule. Les constructeurs automobiles souhaitent que les consommateurs puissent trouver un Centre de carrosserie certifié, peu importe où ils habitent, travaillent ou voyagent.
« Les consommateurs doivent avoir la tranquillité d’esprit de pouvoir confier leur véhicule à un atelier ayant le savoir-faire pour le réparer de façon sécuritaire. Groupe Rivest CarrXpert Joliette est maintenant un fournisseur de réparation de carrosserie certifié », déclare Scott Biggs, chef de la direction d’Assured Performance Collision Care. « L’entreprise s’impose comme la norme servant à évaluer tous les autres ateliers de carrosserie. »

Less than 5 percent of body shops across the nation are able to meet the stringent requirements to become officially Certified and recognized. The Certified network is made up exclusively of best-in-class collision repair businesses that have met or exceeded the stringent requirements of the Certification program.
According to CARSTAR 360 Abbotsford Owner, Rick Francoeur, “We are thrilled to have achieved the Certification and automaker recognitions. This certification helps to let our customers know they are dealing with highly trained professionals that care about them and will assure that their vehicle is repaired right to ensure its safety and performance.”
The Certification criteria is based upon auto manufacturer requirements. These are critical to ensure the vehicle fit, finish, durability, value and safety following an accident. As new model vehicles are being introduced that use light weight high strength materials and advanced technology, a proper repair according to manufacturer specification is even more important than ever to ensure the passenger safety and proper performance of the vehicle. Auto manufacturers want to ensure that consumers have the option of Certified Collision Repair wherever they live, work, or travel.
“Consumers need the confidence and peace of mind to know their vehicle is repaired by a shop that has what it takes to ensure the vehicle safety. CARSTAR 360 Abbotsford is officially a Collision Care Provider™,” said Scott Biggs, CEO of Assured Performance Collision Care™. “They represent the standard by which all other body shops are measured.”

SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT: MAXIMIZING THE BENEFITS OF OEM CERTIFICATION
Marketing OEM Certification credentials is having a positive impact on sales at Garland Autobody. Garland Autobody in St. John’s, Nfld., was the first shop to achieve Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford OEM Certification, and Certified Collision Care Provider credentials in the province. When the program was introduced to Canada, Garland Autobody owner, Derrick Ryan, was an early adopter. Being in the top five percent of repairers in Canada, and having already made the investments needed; he quickly achieved OEM Certification. “I never thought the opportunity to be certified by a vehicle manufacturer would be made available while I was still in the industry. I jumped at the chance to join Certified Collision Care. OEM Certification moves our credibility and standards up a notch; this is something our customers deserve.” he adds.
Derrick is utilizing his OEM credentials in all his marketing efforts, and to build relationships with his local dealers. He displays the credentials on his business website, on the back of business cards, and with radio commercials on the local station. “If you ask if there is a value to certification, yes – there is the opportunity for new revenue”, say Derrick. “But I see it like the start of a relationship. It takes time to develop, to create trust, and build for the future. Provided you put in the effort, business starts to roll in.” Congratulation to Derrick Ryan and team!

Ce partenariat stratégique permet de renforcir la stratégie d’affaires et le slogan de ce programme de certification commun, « une certification unique, largement reconnue ».

Portrait d’une réussite: Tirer le meilleur parti de la certification des OEM
La publicisation de la certification des OEM influe de façon positive sur les ventes de Garland Autobody, situé à Saint-Jean Terre-Neuve. En effet, il s’agit du premier atelier à être reconnu dans cette province par Centre de carrosserie certifié et par Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, et à devenir membre du Réseau national d’ateliers de carrosserie Ford. Le propriétaire, Derrick Ryan, est de la première cohorte d’adhérents au programme Centre de carrosserie certifié qui venait de s’implanter au Canada. Son atelier se classe parmi 5 % des meilleurs réparateurs au Canada et, comme il répondait déjà à tous les critères en matière d’investissements, il a obtenu très rapidement la certification des OEM. « Il me semblait improbable que, durant ma carrière dans l’industrie, il soit possible à un atelier de carrosserie de bénéficier d’une certification délivrée par un constructeur automobile. Dès que l’occasion d’adhérer à Centre de carrosserie certifié s’est présentée, je l’ai aussitôt saisie », dit-il. Il ajoute : La certification des OEM rehausse notre crédibilité et nous oblige à élever nos standards, pour le plus grand bénéfice de nos clients. »
Derrick met de l’avant ses compétences d’atelier de carrosserie certifié OEM dans toutes ses activités de marketing et pour consolider ses relations avec les concessionnaires locaux – site Web, logos imprimés au verso des cartes de visite, publicités à la radio locale. « Demandez-moi si la certification rapporte, et je vous répondrai oui sans hésiter, déclare-t-il. Mais, comme pour n’importe quelle relation qui s’installe, il faut lui laisser le temps d’évoluer et permettre à la confiance de s’établir et à l’avenir de se bâtir. Si vous voulez réussir en affaires, vous devez y mettre les efforts. » Félicitations à Derrick et son équipe!
Félicitations aux ateliers qui ont récemment obtenu leur certification !

Garland Autobody : Tirer le meilleur parti de la certification des OEM
Portrait d’une réussite
Garland Autobody : Tirer le meilleur parti de la certification des OEM
Garland Autobody est le tout premier atelier de carrosserie à être reconnu par Centre de carrosserie certifié et par Mopar, et à devenir membre du Réseau national d’ateliers de carrosserie Ford. Derrick Ryan est de la première cohorte d’adhérents au programme Centre de carrosserie certifié qui venait de s’implanter au Canada. Son atelier se classe parmi 5 % des meilleurs réparateurs au Canada et, comme il répondait déjà à tous les critères en matière d’investissements, il a obtenu très rapidement la certification des OEM de FCA Canada. La particularité du programme est de permettre à un atelier d’obtenir plusieurs certifications des OEM sans qu’il en coûte un sou de plus. Lorsque Garland Autobody s’est doté de l’équipement requis par Ford pour réparer l’aluminium, l’atelier a également obtenu la certification décernée par Ford. « Il me semblait improbable que, durant ma carrière dans l’industrie, il soit possible à un atelier de carrosserie de bénéficier d’une certification délivrée par un constructeur automobile. Dès que l’occasion d’adhérer à Centre de carrosserie certifié s’est présentée, je l’ai aussitôt saisie », dit-il. Il ajoute : « Ce programme nous permet de nous démarquer des autres ateliers! La certification des OEM rehausse notre crédibilité et nous oblige à élever nos standards, pour le plus grand bénéfice de nos clients. »
Préparer l’avenir
Pour Derrick Ryan, préparer l’avenir a toujours été une priorité. Fondé en 1984, Garland Autobody n’était au départ qu’un petit atelier de carrosserie. Lorsqu’il achète l’entreprise en 1994, Derrick Ryan décide de la transformer pour en faire, dès 1999, un centre de réparation de carrosserie de production. Il fait aussi figure de pionnier lorsqu’il adopte, avec une poignée de collègues du Canada et des États-Unis, le modèle de gestion allégée, alors même que le concept n’en était qu’à ses balbutiements dans l’industrie de la carrosserie. Derrick Ryan adhère toujours aux principes de gestion allégée, surtout en matière de procédés, de procédures et d’élimination du gaspillage. Il attribue la croissance phénoménale de son entreprise principalement aux investissements massifs qu’il a effectués pour l’achat d’outils et d’équipement, la formation et l’amélioration du bâtiment, et à l’excellence de son service à la clientèle. Garland Autobody ne compte que 6,5 techniciens, et les tâches administratives de l’entreprise, qui vont du traitement des réclamations à la prise en charge des clients, sont assurées par six employés. « Il est vrai que le personnel administratif coûte cher, explique Derrick Ryan, mais l’investissement consenti pour offrir un service à la clientèle d’exception est vite amorti quand on tient compte du nombre de clients réguliers et loyaux. »
Notions de marketing
La publicisation de la certification des OEM influe de façon positive sur les ventes de Garland Autobody.
Son propriétaire met de l’avant ses compétences d’atelier de carrosserie certifié Mopar dans toutes ses activités de marketing — site Web, logos imprimés au verso des cartes de visite, publicités à la radio locale. « Demandez-moi si la certification rapporte, et je vous répondrai oui sans hésiter, déclare Derrick Ryan. Mais, comme pour n’importe quelle relation qui s’installe, il faut lui laisser le temps d’évoluer et permettre à la confiance de s’établir et à l’avenir de se bâtir. Si vous voulez réussir en affaires, vous devez y mettre les efforts. »
Selon lui, la certification des OEM est une occasion en or de consolider ses relations avec les concessionnaires de son marché. « Chaque fois que je répare un véhicule selon les standards des OEM, en offrant de surcroît un service hors pair, je protège la marque vendue par le concessionnaire — et un client heureux de son véhicule retournera chez son concessionnaire pour l’achat du prochain. Si tous, clients, concessionnaires et ateliers de carrosserie, travaillent en collaboration, chacun y trouvera son compte.
Centre de carrosserie certifié félicite Derrick Ryan et Garland Autobody. Se voir décerner la certification des OEM est une grande réalisation, mais ce n’est que le début! Derrick Ryan utilise à leur plein potentiel les possibilités de commercialisation qui s’offrent à lui afin de se démarquer fortement auprès de la clientèle de son marché et rentabiliser son investissement dans la certification des OEM. Félicitations!

Nissan selects Certified Collision Care as Strategic Partner
Nissan Canada has selected Certified Collision Care, the Canadian division of Assured Performance Network, as their exclusive strategic partner to administer and manage their new collision repair certification program and national network. The Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network program will identify, Certify, and promote dealership and independent collision repair providers across all of Canada.
Participation in the Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network will be limited, and there will be a market lock-out restricting the number of Nissan certified facilities in each market area. Nissan program enrollment will begin April 19th and details will be available online at www.certifiedcollisioncare.ca. For Certified Collision Care Providers that gain Nissan Dealer sponsorship and are not in a locked-out market, there is no additional fee to add Nissan Certification to their Certified Collision Care credentials.
Certified shops will receive special Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network signage and listing on the consumer-facing on-line shop locators as part of the integrated Certified Collision Care program. This strategic partnership further reinforces the business strategy and slogan of the joint-effort certification program, “Certified Once, Recognized by Many”.
Nissan Canada will be an integral strategic partner leveraging the joint-effort collision repair facility certification services, infrastructure and turnkey program offered by Certified Collision Care. By leveraging the existing Certification process, Nissan is able to eliminate redundant costs, making certification more affordable for their dealerships and independently owned repair businesses that can meet their requirements.
The Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network was created to promote Certified collision repair providers to Nissan vehicle owners and insurers. The requirements are based upon the essential tools, equipment, training and facilities necessary to repair all Nissan vehicles back to manufacturer specifications. This new program will allow collision repair facilities that meet the minimum requirements to be certified by Nissan and participate in the Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network.

NISSAN CANADA JOINT LES RANGS DE CENTRE DE CARROSSERIE CERTIFIÉ
Nissan Canada a choisi Centre de carrosserie certifié, la division canadienne d’Assured Performance Network, comme partenaire stratégique exclusif afin d’administrer et de gérer leur nouveau programme de certification et leur réseau national d’ateliers de carrosserie. Le programme du Réseau de réparation de carrosserie certifié Nissan permettra d’identifier, de certifier et de promouvoir les concessionnaires et les ateliers de réparation de carrosserie indépendants à travers le pays.
La participation au Réseau de réparation de carrosserie certifié Nissan sera limitée, et un nombre restreint d’ateliers pourront obtenir la certification Nissan dans chaque région afin de ne pas saturer le marché. Dès le 19 avril, il sera possible d’adhérer au programme et les détails seront disponibles en ligne au www.certifiedcollisioncare.ca. S’ils sont parrainés par un concessionnaire Nissan et situés dans un marché disponible, les ateliers déjà certifiés par Centre de carrosserie certifié n’auront pas de frais additionnels à débourser pour obtenir la certification Nissan.
Les ateliers certifiés recevront une enseigne spéciale et leurs coordonnées figureront dans les localisateurs en ligne et les applications mobiles. Ce partenariat stratégique permet de renforcir la stratégie d’affaires et le slogan de ce programme de certification commun, « une certification unique, largement reconnue ».
Nissan Canada sera une partie intégrante de ce partenariat stratégique et pourra bénéficier des services, des infrastructures et du programme clé en main offert Centre de carrosserie certifié. En profitant du programme de certification existant, Nissan est en mesure d’éliminer des coûts redondants et de rendre la certification plus abordable pour leurs concessionnaires et pour les ateliers indépendants qui répondent à leurs normes.
Le programme du Réseau de réparation de carrosserie certifié Nissan a été créé pour promouvoir les concessionnaires et les ateliers indépendants certifiés auprès des propriétaires de véhicules et des assureurs. Les exigences en matière d’outils, d’équipement, de formation et d’installations visent à assurer la réparation adéquate des véhicules Nissan selon leurs spécifications d’origine. Ce nouveau programme permettra aux concessionnaires et aux ateliers indépendants qui répondront aux exigences requises d’obtenir la certification de Nissan et de faire partie du Réseau de réparation de carrosserie certifié Nissan. Grâce à ce programme, les propriétaires de véhicules Nissan pourront choisir un atelier de carrosserie certifié qui sera en mesure de réparer leur véhicule selon les spécifications d’origine du fabricant, et pourront s’assurer que la conformité, la finition, la durabilité, la fonctionnalité, la valeur et la sécurité du véhicule soient conservées. Ceci est très important, compte tenu de la conception et des exigences de réparation de plus en plus complexes des véhicules Nissan.
Leanne Jefferies, vice-présidente des opérations canadiennes, est heureuse de cette nouveauté : « Nous sommes très heureux de nous associer à Nissan Canada pour ajouter le Réseau de réparation de carrosserie certifié Nissan à notre programme de certification. L’union de nos programmes de certification offre aux ateliers les plus performants une façon efficace de se différencier dans leur marché, en s’associant aux marques les plus influentes de l’industrie automobile. »

À propos de Centre de carrosserie certifié :
La mission du programme Centre de carrosserie certifié est d’élever les compétences techniques en réparation au sein de l’industrie et de veiller à ce que chaque atelier de carrosserie certifié dispose de tout le nécessaire pour réparer de façon adéquate et sécuritaire les véhicules fabriqués aujourd’hui et demain par les constructeurs automobiles participants, d’offrir une expérience client exceptionnelle et de proposer au personnel des possibilités de carrière intéressantes au sein d’entreprises professionnelles.

Garland Autobody: Maximizing the Benefits of OEM Certification
Success Spotlight
Garland Autobody: The Benefits of OEM Certification
Garland Autobody is the first Certified Collision Care Provider, Mopar Certified Collision Repair Facility and Ford National Body Shop Network Certified repairer in Newfoundland. When the Certified Collision Care program was introduced into Canada, Derrick was an early adopter. He is in the top 5% of repairers in Canada, and having already made the investments needed; he quickly achieved OEM Certification with FCA Canada. The Certified Collision Care program provides the opportunity for multiple OEM certifications without adding any costs. Garland Autobody also achieved Ford National Body Shop Network Certification by adding Ford-specific aluminum capabilities to the business. “I never thought the opportunity to be to be certified by a vehicle manufacturer would be made available while I was still in the industry. I jumped at the chance to join Certified Collision Care”, he says. “This program adds great value to our facility” he adds. “OEM Certification moves our credibility and standards up a notch; this is something our customers deserve.”
Building for the Future
Derrick Ryan has always been focused on building for the future. Established in 1984, Garland Autobody started as a small repair and refinish shop. Derrick acquired the business in 1990, and made the decision to transition to a production collision repair facility in 1999. Derrick was a pioneer in the early development of “lean” for the collision repair industry, working with a handful of Canadian and US colleagues. He remains committed to lean principles, with a focus on process, procedure, and removing waste. He has made major investments in tools, equipment, training, and his facility, and makes customer service a top priority, which has contributed to their phenomenal growth. With only 6.5 production technicians the facility has 6 administrative staff to handle the tasks of claims processing and taking care of customers. Derrick explains, “Investing in the number of administrative staff needed to provide an exceptional customer service experience is expensive, but it pays for itself when you measure repeat business and customer loyalty”.
Marketing 101
Marketing OEM Certification credentials is having a positive impact on sales at Garland Autobody.
Derrick is utilizing his Mopar Certified Collision Repair Facility credentials in all of his marketing efforts. This includes displaying credentials on their website, printing logos on the back of their business cards, and even running radio commercials on the local station. “If you ask if there is a value to certification, yes – there is the opportunity for new revenue”, say Derrick. “But I see it like the start of a relationship. It takes time to develop, to create trust and build for the future. Provided you put in the effort, business starts to roll in”.
Derrick also sees OEM Certification as an opportunity to develop and strengthen relationships with dealers in his market. “When I provide repairs to OEM standards and combine this with outstanding service, I am protecting the dealer’s brand, so that his customers are happy with their vehicle, and will return when it’s time to buy a new one. By working together it’s a win for everyone – the customer, the dealer and the shop.”
Certified Collision Care would like to congratulate Derrick Ryan and Garland Autobody. Becoming OEM Certified is a major accomplishment, but this is just the beginning! Derrick is maximizing the marketing opportunity to make a big impression with customers in his market and to earn a return on his investment in OEM Certification. Congratulations!
