Oregon Shop First to Receive Western Region’s Audi Authorized Aluminum Collision Repair Facility Award

Precision Body and Paint announced it’s the first shop to receive the Western Region’s Audi Authorized Aluminum Collision Repair Facility Award in recognition of its ongoing five-year commitment to the aluminum collision repair program.

In attendance at the presentation Dec. 17, 2010, was Stan Ford, Audi Western Region After-Sales manager; Scott Story, Audi regional manager; Ron Reichen, president, Precision Body & Paint; and Cyndi White, Precision’s certified program manager.

The award signifies a distinction among collision repair facilities and is given to only a select few businesses that have met or exceeded requirements for meeting Audi factory tool requirements; meeting Audi Authorized Collision Facility standards for all Audi models; maintaining a staff of repair technicians trained and tested in the art of aluminum welding and proper aluminum structural and body techniques; and meeting yearly standards audit and bi-yearly welding certification requirements.

“We are humbled to be the first collision repair facility on the West Coast to receive this prestigious award," Reichen said. "We could not have achieved it without the hard work of the Precision team and the great support from our dealer-sponsor, Sunset Audi of Beaverton.”

Precision’s aluminum collision repair facility is only one of four on the West Coast. The facility, designed by Audi, incorporates the latest technology, tools and advanced equipment specific to aluminum vehicles. It also incorporates a contaminant-free environment necessary to perform factory-duplicate collision repairs.  

Precision Body & Paint, Inc., founded in 1975, has facilities in Beaverton and Bend, Ore.
