H&V Collision Center, the largest independent and family-owned collision repair company in the Capital Region, has met the high standards needed to earn designation as an Audi Authorized Collision Repair facility at H&V’s Oakwood Avenue, Troy location.
The Audi program means approved collision repair facilities like H&V meet the high and exacting manufacturing specifications set by Audi for repairs to steel, aluminum and hybrid Audi vehicles. H&V will now be the recommended collision repair facility for Audi owners in the H&V service area. Said Audi representative Rico Abramzon, Area After Sales Manager – Eastern Region
“Audi sets a standard for performance, luxury and durability, and Audi owners expect the very best from their vehicles. H&V is honored to have met the high standards set by Audi to be selected for the Audi collision repair facility program,” said H&V’s Vartan Jerian Jr.
“H&V is proud to have cared for many Audi vehicles during our more than forty years in operation. Audi owners in the H&V service area can have confidence that when their car or SUV is brought to H&V that work is being done up to the specifications and requirements set by Audi,” added Jerian.
H&V is the only collision repair facility in upstate to earn a selection as an Audi Authorized Collision Repair facility for Audi’s collision repair program. There are currently only 10 other shops in the entire state to earn the Audi designation, with H&V the 11th shop to be certified.
To qualify for Audi’s program at the H&V Oakwood Avenue, Troy location, H&V technicians received specialized training, and H&V will now utilize specialized tools for repairs to Audi vehicles.
