Hyundai Certified Collision Center

What Is Hyundai Certified Collision Repair?

The Hyundai Certified Collision Repair Program identifies collision repair facilities that have the tools, equipment, training, and processes to repair Hyundai vehicles to original manufacturer specifications. Assured Performance Network (a division of OEC) conducts onsite inspections and audits to verify that each facility meets the certification requirements. To qualify, a shop must hold I-CAR Gold Class status, the collision repair industry’s highest shop-level training credential. Hyundai then layers brand-specific training requirements on top of that foundation. For details on our Gold Class status, visit our I-CAR Gold Class page.

Why Hyundai Certification Matters for your Repair

Genuine OEM Parts

Hyundai certified body shops use genuine Hyundai OEM collision repair parts. These parts are engineered specifically for your vehicle, ensuring correct fit, factory crash performance ratings, and full compatibility with your vehicle’s safety systems. Aftermarket parts may appear similar but do not carry the same engineering specifications.

Manufacturer Repair Procedures

Every repair follows the procedures published by Hyundai. This includes specific joining methods, material handling requirements, and step-by-step repair sequences designed to maintain structural integrity and safety system functionality.

Advanced Materials and Construction

Modern Hyundai vehicles use an increasingly sophisticated mix of advanced high-strength steel, ultra-high-strength steel, and aluminum in their construction. Models like the Tucson, Santa Fe, and Ioniq lineup use multi-material platforms that require specific joining methods and repair techniques. A certified body shop has the equipment and training to work with these materials without compromising structural integrity.

ADAS Calibration

Current Hyundai models are equipped with Hyundai SmartSense, a suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and more. After collision repair, these systems require recalibration using manufacturer-approved diagnostic tools and procedures. Certified shops have the equipment and training to perform these calibrations correctly.

Warranty and Resale Protection

Repairs performed at a Hyundai certified body shop using genuine OEM parts and manufacturer procedures help protect your factory warranty and maintain your vehicle’s resale value. Insurance adjusters and future buyers recognize the difference between certified and non-certified repair work.

What Hyundai Certification Requires

Earning and maintaining Hyundai certified status requires ongoing investment in:

• Manufacturer-approved tools, equipment, and diagnostic capabilities
• Facility inspections and onsite audits by Assured Performance Network
