The Gold Class designation is awarded by I-CAR®, a not-for-profit training organization dedicated to improving the quality and safety of auto collision repair for the ultimate benefit of consumers. Only 10% of collision repair businesses currently meet the rigorous training requirements necessary to earn Gold Class designation. Shops that are not Gold Class may train minimally or not at all.
Gold Class® means complete, safe and quality repairs
Today’s vehicles are increasingly sophisticated devices featuring an ever-growing number of components, parts and advanced lightweight materials. The constant introduction of new vehicle technologies can result in repair procedures changing significantly from year to year, making current repair knowledge critical for the achievement of complete, safe and quality repairs.
Gold Class shops are required to have every technician involved in collision repair take training that is specific to their roles. They must continue with ongoing training each year for the business to maintain its Gold Class recognition, including classes in new technology. Each of Hilbish Ford’s Collision Repair technicians have achieved Platinum status for their individual roles.
Putting safety first
Just because your vehicle “looks” the same after a collision repair, doesn’t mean it is the same. Our technicians are trained to know:
- How to make the right decisions for a safe repair.
- How to find hidden damage others may not see.
- The latest repair procedures and technologies.
- Which parts to repair and which to replace.
Hilbish Ford is honored to be named a Gold Class collision repair facility. We are proud of our commitment to training because it is also a symbol of our commitment to professionalism and to the safety of our customers.
