Elephant Auto Insurance Achieves I-CAR Gold Class Designation

Elephant has achieved the I-CAR Gold designation by demonstrating that over 60 percent of their appraisers have received the “Platinum Level” designation by I-CAR.

Elephant Auto Insurance announced that they have achieved the Gold designation from I-CAR.

“As cars become increasingly complex, it is critical that Elephant’s appraisers are trained in the latest procedures and techniques,” said Aldo Bonacasta, director of Auto Physical Damage at Elephant. “Elephant’s investment in I-CAR training for our appraisers not only accelerates their career development, but ensures our customers’ vehicles are properly repaired after an accident. This achievement of Gold Class recognition is further evidence of Elephant’s commitment to our customers and employees.”

Elephant has achieved the I-CAR Gold designation by demonstrating that over 60 percent of their appraisers have received the “Platinum Level” designation by I-CAR. Achieving this designation requires 12 months of hands-on and classroom training. It is estimated by I-CAR that only 10 percent of repair facilities have achieved this designation.

By achieving the I-CAR Gold designation, Elephant customers can be confident that their appraiser has received specialized training on how to properly repair their vehicle. To achieve Gold designation, appraisers are trained on things such as:

  • How to make the right decision for a safe repair
  • How to find hidden damage that others may not see
  • Which parts are appropriate to properly repair the car
  • The latest repair procedures and techniques
