Mopar launches glass-repair certification program
Mopar is launching an all-new, industry-first automotive glass-repair certification program called the Mopar Certified Glass Installer Program.
Leveraging the collision repair educational expertise of the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR®), the program is specifically designed for those facilities that perform glass replacement as part of their automotive collision repair work.
The Mopar Certified Glass Installer Program provides a significant differentiator for all entities in the glass- replacement business.
