Classic Collision at Gwinnett Place in Duluth, Ga., has earned Assured Performance certification, the shop announced.

With the recognition, Classic Collision now is a certified repairer for Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Nissan and Hyundai vehicles.

Less than 5 percent of body shops across the nation meet the requirements for Assured Performance certification, according to the Assured Performance Network.

“We’ve worked hard to stay ahead of the curve in the collision repair industry,” said Manfred Kammerer, owner of Classic Collision at Gwinnett Place. “This official certification demonstrates that commitment to our customers. We take pride in our highly trained technicians who use the latest tools and equipment to deliver a top-quality repair and the best customer service.”

The certification criteria are based on automaker requirements, which are critical to ensure vehicle fit, finish, durability, value and safety following an accident. As new-model vehicles increasingly incorporate lightweight, high-strength materials and advanced technology, a proper repair according to manufacturer specifications is even more important than ever, according to the Assured Performance Network.

“Consumers need the confidence and peace of mind to know their vehicle is repaired by a shop that has what it takes to ensure the vehicle safety,” said Scott Biggs, CEO of Assured Performance Collision Care. “Classic Collision at Gwinnett Place is officially a Collision Care Provider. They represent the standard by which all other body shops are measured.”
