When an accident happens and repairs need to be made to the body, many motorists wonder where to turn.

Certified Body Shop Center, the Canadian division of Assured Performance Network, is the largest network of certified body shops in the world with 550 locations nationwide and administers programs for Fiat-Chrysler, Ford, Kia, Nissan, Infiniti, Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Hyundai , Genesis and Subaru.

Speaking of the latter, Subaru Canada has launched a new website explaining to owners the benefits of choosing a Subaru-certified body shop to have their vehicle repaired, and how to find the nearest body shop simply by entering their zip code, model and year enter vehicle.

The Subaru Certified Collision Center program ensures repair shops have the tools, equipment, training, facilities and processes needed to repair Subaru vehicles to OEM standards. These factors are critical in a number of ways including workmanship, durability, functionality, value for money and safety.

Wherever you are in Canada you can choose a body shop that is certified to Subaru standards, an important point when you know that the shop and its methods have a significant impact on the vehicle’s final appearance, its performance and most importantly on have its structural integrity and onboard technologies designed to ensure the safety of motorists.

These centers include the ability to accurately recalibrate safety system components such as Subaru’s EyeSight driver assistance technology (in partnership with a Subaru dealership). With the proven precision and quality of genuine Subaru collision parts, they can restore your Subaru to its pre-crash condition, with the same safety features that ensured your protection in the first place.
