Cruisers Collision is the newest autobody repair shop in Moose Jaw to receive certification from Certified Collision Care, a national auto repair program that provides training and accolades to the best-in-class businesses who have excelled in technical skills.
The auto shop in Moose Jaw, which recently became partners with CARSTAR services, has completed all of the necessary training and credentials to be certified by Certified Collision Care and automakers Fiat, Chrysler, Ford, Nissan and Kia.
Certified Collision Care is the Canadian division of Assured Performance Network, making all businesses certified by the program part of a worldwide network of high-quality repair providers who have also met or exceeded the strict requirements of the certification process.
Owner and journeyman technician Jarred Henrikson has been in the auto repair industry since 1995, operating his own facility since 2015, and he is pleased to see Cruisers Collision recognized for its excellent service and repair knowledge.
“We are thrilled to have achieved the Certification and automaker recognitions,” said Henrikson. “This certification helps to let our customers know they are dealing with highly trained professionals that care about them and will assure that their vehicle is repaired right to ensure its safety and performance.”
The steps to such a certification involve a rigorous process that ensures shops provide a proper and safe repair of both current and future vehicles being produced. Criteria for certification are based upon auto manufacturer requirements, which are critical in ensuring the vehicle fit, finish, durability and safety after an accident — important to both passenger safety and the performance of the vehicle itself.
Less than 5 per cent of body shops across Canada are able to meet these requirements for certification, and Cruisers Collision is now one of three shops located in Moose Jaw to be recognized.
