What does it mean to be an OEM Kia Certified Collision Repair Centre? Well, to obtain an OEM certification, it means the shop’s technicians have taken part in training needed to understand the specific complexities of the manufacturer’s vehicles, and only OEM parts are used in the repair of those vehicles.
OEM certification is a big investment to repair shops. It requires owning the special tools and equipment to get the repairs done, as well as passing a final inspection. Most people don’t know that many insurance companies try to persuade you into using non-certified repair shops to lower costs by influencing you to use a Direct Repair Program (DRP) which will cut costs when repairing your vehicle and use non-OEM parts. Some brands require you to use only OEM parts when you are leasing a vehicle, which is why it is important to use a Certified Repair Shop.
When you go to a non-certified collision repair shop for your vehicle, they can use used parts and aftermarket parts on your vehicle, whereas a certified shop will only use OEM parts. Here at Modern Automotive, we are certified to use only OEM parts on your Kia vehicle.
