Hyundai Launches Recognized Collision Repair Center Program

Participating Collision Repair Centers Restore Vehicles to Manufacturer Specifications, Offering Hyundai Owners Peace of Mind

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA -- July 14, 2015: Today, Hyundai Motor America launched its all-new Hyundai Recognized Collision Repair Center program. This program ensures both independent and Hyundai dealership-owned collision repair centers have the training, tools, equipment, and facilities needed to properly repair Hyundai vehicles after they have been involved in a collision.

Customers can look for the Hyundai Recognized Collision Repair Center plaque at their local collision repair center to know if their Hyundai will be repaired properly and safely to manufacturer specifications. The program will allow Hyundai to refer Hyundai owners in need of collision repair to a recognized center.

"We want our customers to know we have their well-being in mind after they have been in a collision," said Frank Ferrara, executive vice president, customer satisfaction, Hyundai Motor America. "Hyundai owners benefit from this program through the assurance that centers will ensure the fit, finish, durability, safety and value of the vehicles being repaired. Having a network of recognized shops is critical to make sure our cars are repaired properly."

Hyundai has teamed up with Assured Performance Network on this program. Assured Performance Network is a non-profit consumer advocacy organization that will guarantee both Hyundai dealership-owned and independent collision repair centers meet the program's specified capability requirements, and pass an annual onsite audit and inspection. Assured Performance Network will also manage enrollment, online support systems, proof of compliance documentation and marketing. Collision repair centers can call 949.221.0010 or visit GetHyundaiRecognized for more information.
