The days of performing the same repair for every car are forever in the past. You used to be able to drop your vehicle off to be serviced and trust that the technicians were doing nothing short of the best. But with the advancements in today’s vehicles, such as ADAS systems, repairing cars “the old way” can cause more damage than good to your vehicle. It’s important to know exactly how your car should be repaired.
What is ADAS?
ADAS stands for “Advanced Driver Assistance Systems,” and includes everything from blindspot detection, lane assist, forward collision warning, backup cameras, and much more. These type of technologies have now become a standard in today’s vehicles, yet repairers still approach these vehicles with the mindset from 20 years ago. The problem is: if you repair a car today the same way you would even just 5 years ago, this could cause more harm than good. For example, a wrong repair could remove the advanced safety technology the car was built with, making it more susceptible to accidents and other damage. Newer cars require calibration and rewiring, not just cranking and welding.
This is why it’s essential only to have OEM repairs for your vehicle.
What is OEM, and why is it important?
OEM means “Original Equipment Manufacturer,” which are the best parts out there for your car. These parts are straight from the factory and manufactured specifically for the make and model of your vehicle. It takes extensive training and knowledge for a shop to become OEM certified, but once they do, they are instantly at a different level than other body shops. When an auto body shop earns an OEM Certification from a car manufacturer, that means they repair those vehicles precisely as the manufacturer tells them and uses parts straight from the factory.
Why choose a Honda OEM Certified Shop?
Every day, car manufacturers like Honda release new position statements on how their cars should be repaired. These statements can be on anything from airbags, clear coat blending, wheel reconditioning, scanning, parts, and more. Also, when your Honda is repaired at a Honda OEM certified shop, you keep all your factory warranties and maintain greater resale value. With improper repair, bodywork and paintwork are easily detectable. OEM repairs are virtually undetectable and leave your car looking brand new. These are a couple of reasons why it’s crucial that you take your car to be repaired at a Honda OEM Certified Shop. These technicians are considered experts in everything for repairing Honda’s.
