I-CAR® Gold Class™

Gold Class recognition is the highest role-relevant training achievement accepted by the collision repair industry. It is estimated that only 10 percent of repair shops currently meet the rigorous Gold Class standard.

With many new lightweight vehicle materials and advanced safety systems changing the nature of collision repairs, up-to-date training is becoming increasingly important for consumer safety and business survival. The I-CAR® Gold Class™ program prepares Gross & Son to meet the challenges of this ongoing technological change. To earn Gold Class recognition, businesses must achieve and maintain a high level of training across each of the major collision repair roles. “By becoming Gold Class,” says I-CAR®, “you demonstrate to your customers, your staff, and the industry that your business is committed to the highest standards of professionalism.”

Honda ProFirst

To qualify for Honda’s collision repair certification, Gross & Son first had to meet the requirements of becoming an I-CAR® Gold Class shop. We also had to complete Honda/Acura-specific training hosted by I-CAR®; meet tool, equipment, and facility requirements; and have a CSI system in place.

“No brand earns more Top Safety Pick awards than Honda,” said Steve Osborne, assistant vice president of the car manufacturer’s parts, service & technical division. “It is only logical that we support safe and proper collision repair of our customers’ vehicles and that we identify repair shops certified to possess the necessary skills, training, and equipment to perform those repairs.”
