Ford Certified Collision Repair

Ford says its certified centers preserve a vehicle’s structural integrity and safety systems. They do this with Original Equipment parts and OE repair procedures. That is the standard your repair is measured against.

Ford also states that certified network centers carry the tools, equipment, and procedures for Ford and Lincoln vehicles. That coverage runs across all makes and models, including aluminum bodies, electric and hybrid vehicles, and most commercial vehicles.

The Ford Certified Collision Network supports Ford’s approach to quality and safe collision repairs. Network benefits include OE repair procedures, technical call center support, and a repair process assessment and consultation. Ford maintains a locator that guides customers to network facilities.

Aluminum body panels behave differently than steel, and Ford publishes procedures for them. Our aluminum repair work follows manufacturer and industry training programs.

Aluminum repair calls for separate tools and careful control of heat. Repair methods are matched to the material on your Ford. If the impact reached a section that bonds aluminum to another material, we plan around the construction your vehicle uses.

Ford builds vehicles as complete systems, so the parts matter as much as the labor. Replacement components that meet Ford’s original equipment standards are the ones the plan was written around.

You also choose who repairs your Ford. An insurer may recommend a shop, but the decision is yours.
