American Honda Motor Co. said 500 shops in 40 states are participating in its Body Shop Recognition program. This includes dealer-owned shops and independent shops.

The program is a collaborative agreement with OEConnection and the five main automotive refinish suppliers in the US including DuPont Performance Coatings, PPG, BASF, Sherwin- Williams, and AkzoNobel to create a supporting initiative for Collision Select, American Honda’s wholesale parts program.

To be eligible, shops must be sponsored by a Collision Select-participating Honda or Acura dealer. Shops must also meet certain other requirements including participation in their respective paint company’s performance enhancement program, and the adoption and use of OEConnection’s CollisionLink product. The adoption and use of CollisionLink, an internet-based parts procurement and management tool facilitates a more efficient and effective parts procurement process both for the car dealer and the body shop.

Participating shops will be presented with a plaque, provided by American Honda and presented by their sponsoring dealership. The shop’s contact information will be placed on a corporate American Honda website in a searchable database accessible by Honda and Acura owners.
