A factory certification isn’t a badge on the wall — it’s a commitment. Specialized training. Approved equipment. Audited procedures. Genuine parts. Here’s what that means for your vehicle.
Every body shop will tell you they can repair your vehicle. Most can — to some standard. Factory certified collision centers operate to a different standard entirely.
To earn a certification, a shop has to invest in manufacturer-specified equipment, send technicians through brand-specific training programs, follow strict OEM repair procedures, and submit to ongoing audits. It costs money. It takes years. Most shops never bother.
For drivers, the difference shows up in the details: a panel that fits the way it left the factory. A paint match that holds up. A vehicle that performs the way it was engineered to in another collision — because the safety systems were repaired to factory tolerances, not just close enough.
Yokem holds FCA US LLC’s unified Certified Collision Repair Center status — a single certification covering five Stellantis brands. That means one shop, fully approved by Mopar, equipped and trained to repair the entire FCA lineup to factory standards.
From a Wrangler to a 1500, a Charger to a Pacifica — the same certified team, the same OEM procedures, the same Mopar parts. No outsourcing. No “we’ll figure it out.”
Each of these certifications represents a direct partnership with the manufacturer — recognition that we have the equipment, training, and processes to repair their vehicles to factory standards.
Toyota Certified Collision Centers meet the manufacturer’s strict requirements for equipment, training, and repair procedures. Required for proper repair of high-strength steel, hybrid systems, and Toyota Safety Sense calibration.
BMW Certified Collision Repair Centers are approved for the brand’s aluminum-intensive vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, and proprietary repair procedures — qualifications few shops in the region hold.
The Hyundai Certified Collision Repair Center program ensures repairs meet OEM specifications for body structure, safety systems, and electrical components — including SmartSense ADAS calibration.
Nissan Certified Collision Repair Network shops are approved to perform structural repairs on Nissan vehicles, with the required equipment, OEM parts access, and ongoing training to maintain certification.
Kia Certified Collision Centers complete extensive technical training and equipment investment to repair Kia vehicles to factory standards — including the brand’s high-strength steel structures and Kia Drive Wise systems.
As part of our FCA certification, we’re approved to repair Jeep’s full lineup — from Wrangler to Grand Cherokee — to factory specifications, with full Mopar parts access and brand-specific training.
Chrysler Certified Collision Centers under the FCA program are equipped and trained to repair the full Chrysler lineup — Pacifica, 300, and beyond — using genuine Mopar parts and factory procedures.
Dodge Certified Collision Center status covers the brand’s performance and family lineup — Charger, Challenger, Durango — with the equipment and training required for high-performance vehicle structural repair.
RAM truck repair requires specialized capability — high-strength steel frames, aluminum body panels on newer models, and tow-rated structural integrity. Our FCA certification covers the full RAM lineup, light-duty through heavy-duty.
Fiat models — including the 500 and 500X — are covered under our FCA certification, ensuring access to genuine parts, factory repair procedures, and the specialized training these compact European-engineered vehicles require.
This isn’t about wall décor. Certification has real, measurable impact on the safety, value, and long-term performance of your vehicle.
Airbags, ADAS sensors, and crumple zones repaired to factory tolerance — so they perform as designed if you’re ever in another accident.
Modern vehicles use multiple grades of steel and aluminum. Certified shops know what each panel is made of — and how to repair it correctly.
Improper repairs can void manufacturer warranties on body, paint, electrical, and safety systems. Certified repairs preserve them.
A vehicle with documented OEM-certified repairs holds its trade-in and private-party value far better than one with non-certified work.
Manufacturers don’t issue these certifications and walk away. They audit. They update repair procedures as new vehicles launch. They require new training when new technology — like aluminum bodies, EV battery packs, or next-generation ADAS — hits the road.
That’s why we treat our certifications as a permanent commitment, not a marketing line. Our technicians complete annual training. Our equipment is upgraded as the manufacturers require. Our shop floor is set up to meet OEM standards every day, on every repair.
It’s expensive. It’s a lot of work. And it’s the only way to do this right.
Whether your vehicle is one of the brands we’re certified to repair or any other make on the road — we restore it to factory standards. Schedule online or call our team.
