    Training That Matters

    What Does I-CAR Gold Class Mean?

    I-CAR Gold Class is a collision repair industry recognition centered on ongoing, role-specific training. Gold Class shops are required to maintain trained representatives across key collision repair roles and continue developing their knowledge as vehicle technology and repair procedures evolve.

    For customers, that means choosing a shop committed to keeping its team educated in the skills modern collision repair demands.

    I-CAR currently requires Gold Class collision repair facilities to maintain trained role representatives in four major areas: estimator, refinish, structural, and non-structural repair. Required representatives must reach at least ProLevel® 2, with continued training required to maintain recognition.

    Modern Vehicles. Modern Knowledge.

    Collision Repair Keeps Changing

    Today's vehicles can include high-strength steels, aluminum, electric drivetrains, cameras, radar, sensors, advanced driver-assistance systems, complex electronics, and manufacturer-specific repair requirements.

    Repair technology evolves quickly, which is why training cannot stop once a technician learns the basics.

    Jewell Collision's Gold Class recognition supports an ongoing learning culture designed to keep our team prepared for increasingly sophisticated vehicle repairs.

    The Foundation for Certified Repair

    Training That Supports OEM Collision Repair

    I-CAR works with automotive manufacturers to provide collision repair education and role-specific training. Many manufacturer collision repair programs require or recommend I-CAR training, and several require participating facilities to maintain Gold Class recognition.

    At Jewell Collision, that training supports our broader manufacturer-certified repair capabilities and helps our technicians understand the increasingly complex systems found in today's vehicles.
