Factory Certifications

More Important than Ever Before

Only 10% of all the collision repairers in the United States are certified to work on the vehicles they repair. By being a member of the Assured Performance Group, we have proven that Body Builders Automotive possesses the necessary equipment, tools and training to work on 2/3rd of all the automotive brand names in the marketplace today.

These include Tesla, Infiniti, Audi, Dodge, Ford, Nissan, Hyundai, Toyota and KIA.

As an identified, certified and supported O.E. repairer, Body Builders Automotive has all of the OEM credentials needed to fix today’s sophisticated vehicles. This requires a major investment in tools and training, and any other incremental performance criteria that have to be achieved before a body shop can proudly sayΒ β€œWe’re certified!”

Before you ever sign on the dotted line with any collision repair specialist, ask about their factory certifications, as well as whether or not that they’re an I-CAR Gold body shop. To perform collision repair services in today’s world, certifications are no longer an option, so do your due diligence before trusting your vehicle with any auto body shop.

I was very pleased with Body Builders Automotive. They kept me infirmed every step of the way. They were flexible when I couldn't make it on the day I was scheduled to pick up my car and allowed pick up the next. Most of all, I was pleased with the work they did including washing the car inside and out. It almost looks new.

Wow, just wow! I can't sing enough praises for Body Builders Automotive, seriously. I recently found myself in the unfortunate situation of needing repair work on my Mazda 6 after a hit-and-run incident. Trust me when I say these guys are a beacon of shining service in a sea of average auto body shops. I started out with a little homework, checking out 15 or so local shops. Guess who was the star of the show? Yep, Body Builders Automotive! Their ratings were through the roof, and now I understand why. Walking into most auto body shops feels like stepping into a freezer. No smiles, no warmth, just cold indifference. But when I walked into Body Builders Automotive, it was a whole different story. The team was genuinely warm and invested in my predicament. They greeted me with a big smile and took the time to understand the situation - it was such a breath of fresh air! What really blew me away, though, was their keen eye for detail. They discovered hidden damage on my car that my insurance company's initial estimate completely overlooked. Then, my insurance company tried to pull a fast one, claiming my car was totaled and offering a lowball payout that was downright insulting. But thanks to the folks at Body Builders Automotive, they helped me see through the insurance mumbo-jumbo and clarified that the damage did not warrant a 'totaled' status. End result? I got to keep my Mazda 6, fully repaired and covered by insurance, without having to settle for a new car at a miserable price. Once we navigated through the insurance minefield, Body Builders Automotive revved things up. They had my car looking brand new within a week, no fuss. It was smooth sailing from there, and I was back on the road in no time. So, if your car is in need of some TLC, you won’t need to look anywhere else. Head over to Body Builders Automotive. If you're in need of any vehicle bodywork, I can't recommend Body Builders Automotive enough. Their excellent service, thorough work, and customer-first attitude made the whole experience a breeze. Trust me, you won't regret it. A solid 5-star from me! πŸš—πŸ”§πŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸ

BBA did an amazing job with my mercedes. They were very co-operative and responded quickly to any questions I may have on the repair. Joe had a long phone conversation with me and explained me every repair that was supposed to happen in detail. They don't cut corners and the entire team does a great job. I would definitely recommend them for vehicle repairs.
