Illinois Collision Shop Announces Hyundai Recognition

Sept. 10, 2015

Sept. 10, 2015—Zara’s Collision Center (Springfield, Ill.) has been recognized by Hyundai as a collision repair facility certified by Assured Performance Collision Care, the company announced on Wednesday.

Along with its inclusion in the Hyundai Recognized Collision Repair Center program, Zara’s certifications from Assured Performance Collision Care also include Ford’s F-150 aluminum recognition, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, General Motors, and Enterprise.

“Being able to add the Hyundai [recognition] to our capabilities is a great source of pride for us,” said Brad Zara, president of Zara’s Collision Center. “The Springfield area is home to a lot of Hyundai drivers. They now have a local, certified repair facility for their convenience should an accident occur.”

Less than 5 percent of collision repair shops nationally have met the criteria required to be Assured Performance certified. This certification assures that Zara’s has the proper tools, equipment, facilities, and trained staff required to repair vehicles to the manufacturers’ specifications.

Zara’s is the only Springfield-area body shop to have the Assured Performance certifications, and is the only facility in the area to be certified as a Honda Motor Co. ProFirst collision repair shop.
