NISSAN CANADA JOINS CERTIFIED COLLISION CARE
Nissan Canada has selected Certified Collision Care as their exclusive strategic partner to administer and manage the new Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network program, to identify, Certify, and promote dealership and independent collision repair providers across all of Canada. Nissan Canada will be an integral strategic partner leveraging the joint-effort collision repair facility certification services, infrastructure and turnkey program offered by Certified Collision Care.
Participation in the Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network will be limited, and there will be a market lock-out. Nissan program enrollment will begin April 19th and details will be available online at www.certifiedcollisioncare.ca. For those shops already enrolled or certified by Certified Collision Care, there are no additional charges or fees to add Nissan Certification if the shop gains Nissan dealer sponsorship and is not in a locked market. Participation details will be sent to you in advance of the launch date.
Certified shops will receive special Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network signage and listing on the consumer-facing on-line shop locators as part of the integrated Certified Collision Care program. This strategic partnership further reinforces the business strategy and slogan of the joint-effort certification program, “Certified Once, Recognized by Many”.

SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT: MAXIMIZING THE BENEFITS OF OEM CERTIFICATION
Marketing OEM Certification credentials is having a positive impact on sales at Garland Autobody. Garland Autobody in St. John’s, Nfld., was the first shop to achieve Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford OEM Certification, and Certified Collision Care Provider credentials in the province. When the program was introduced to Canada, Garland Autobody owner, Derrick Ryan, was an early adopter. Being in the top five percent of repairers in Canada, and having already made the investments needed; he quickly achieved OEM Certification. “I never thought the opportunity to be certified by a vehicle manufacturer would be made available while I was still in the industry. I jumped at the chance to join Certified Collision Care. OEM Certification moves our credibility and standards up a notch; this is something our customers deserve.” he adds.
Derrick is utilizing his OEM credentials in all his marketing efforts, and to build relationships with his local dealers. He displays the credentials on his business website, on the back of business cards, and with radio commercials on the local station. “If you ask if there is a value to certification, yes – there is the opportunity for new revenue”, say Derrick. “But I see it like the start of a relationship. It takes time to develop, to create trust, and build for the future. Provided you put in the effort, business starts to roll in.” Congratulation to Derrick Ryan and team!
