Our certifications aren't decorations — they represent specific training, tooling, and repair procedures your vehicle's manufacturer requires.
Any shop can call itself an auto body shop. Earning manufacturer certifications is different. Each one requires specific investments: factory-approved training for technicians, specialized tools and equipment, and adherence to the repair procedures the manufacturer designed for that vehicle.
When your Ford F-150 is repaired at a Ford Certified Collision shop, your technician has been trained by Ford — using Ford-approved repair methods, on Ford-specific tooling. Same for every other brand. That's not an optional upgrade; it's how repairs should be done on modern vehicles with high-strength steel, aluminum panels, and advanced safety systems.
Marquis Auto Body holds 9 credentials — including I-CAR Gold Class, the industry's highest training standard, and OEM certifications across 6 major manufacturers. We maintain these certifications through ongoing training and auditing, not just a one-time achievement.
Fewer than 20% of body shops in the United States hold Gold Class status. It represents a continuous commitment to training that most shops don't invest in.
The collision repair industry's highest training standard. Gold Class shops complete 40+ hours of training per year, per technician — covering the latest repair methods, vehicle technology, and safety systems. I-CAR audits our training annually to ensure we stay current.
Assured Performance is the leading certification body for collision repair shops in North America. Certification requires meeting strict facility, equipment, and training standards — and independent auditing to maintain it.
Each manufacturer certification means brand-specific training, tools, and repair procedures for that vehicle's unique construction.
Certified to repair Ford, Lincoln, and Ford-brand vehicles — including aluminum-intensive vehicles like the F-150 — using Ford-approved procedures and tooling.
Certified for Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac repairs — trained on GM's high-strength steel and mixed-material vehicle structures.
Certified for Hyundai repairs — trained on Hyundai's structural and safety-system requirements across their full model lineup.

Aluminum body panels require dedicated tools, separate work areas, and specific repair techniques to prevent cross-contamination with steel. We maintain all of this in-house — properly equipped to repair modern aluminum-intensive vehicles.
As an AAA-approved DRP shop, we work directly with AAA's claims team to streamline the entire repair process for AAA policyholders — faster approvals, less paperwork, and no back-and-forth for you.
