Automobile Collision Repairers

Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

Collision repairers may be certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). Specialized certification is also provided by I-CAR and many vehicle manufacturers and paint manufacturers. Although certification is voluntary, it is a widely recognized standard of achievement for automobile collision repairers. Collision repairers who are certified are more valuable to their employers than those who are not and therefore stand a greater chance of advancement.
