American Honda relies on VeriFacts Automotive to ensure ProFirst certified shops deliver highest standard of repairs

“Due to the increasing application of on-board safety, collision avoidance technology, and materials such as high strength steel used in vehicle manufacturing, a collision repair facility needs to be properly equipped, and their technicians properly trained, to make today’s repairs,” said Kirk Adams, Manager of Wholesale Marketing for American Honda. “The American Honda ProFirst certification program provides our customers with a network of shops they can choose from that are prepared to handle today’s complex repairs. VeriFacts Automotive’s OEM certification process ensures that each ProFirst Certified shop is validated for their skills, training, methodology, equipment and customer satisfaction.” The VeriFacts Automotive coaching team is comprised of highly trained collision repair professionals who have decades of experience and hold the industry’s highest accreditation from I-CAR, ASE, American Welding Society (AWS), Automotive Management Institute (AMI), and paint companies. “VeriFacts Automotive has been a great partner for us,” said Adams. “VeriFacts Automotive helps us to manage the certification and independent auditing of almost 1,400 ProFirst Certified shops prior to their annual re-certification. They ensure the proper equipment, training and  access to Honda/Acura Service Information System® repair methods are in place and current to meet the ProFirst certification requirements. Based on their comprehensive audit and the data they provide back to us; we can determine the additional areas where we need to focus.” Today’s vehicles use high-strength steel, multiple sensors, and have more onboard computers than the Apollo 11 spacecraft that put astronauts on the moon.
