Tony’s Body Shop met the standards to become a Nissan Certified Body Shop
Tony’s Body Shop is a Nissan Certified body shop serving Ventura County, which includes Oxnard, Ventura County, and Camarillo, as well as areas like Fillmore, Santa Paula, and Ojai. Keep in mind, we have a shuttle service in our shuttle van to give you a ride when you drop off your vehicle for repairs.
Certified collision repair body shops are audited to make sure they have the proper equipment and the training to be able to properly repair your vehicle to its pre-accident condition. A proper repair, and a repair that is done with your family in mind to continue to keep your car safe, is important. Nissan is now being built with new features that assist the driver to make the car a safer car to drive. Features like blind spot monitoring that alert you if there is a car in your blind spot before you change lanes.
Genuine OEM Parts - Why They Matter
- Crash-absorbing structures, high-strength steel, aluminum or mixed-material assemblies must maintain exact tolerances and weld patterns.
- Safety systems like airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, side-impact structures and energy-management zones rely on original components to perform as designed.
- Warranty, resale value and long-term durability are enhanced when original parts are used.
When repairing your Nissan at a certified facility, you benefit from guaranteed compatibility and work done according to factory specifications – ensuring the repair is both safe and effective.

What It Means to Be a Nissan Certified Body Shop
To earn the designation, a repair facility must satisfy multiple stringent requirements from the manufacturer and their certified repair network. These standards include:
- Technicians who are trained and certified in Nissan collision repair procedures, including welding, scanning and calibration methods.
- Specialized repair equipment and tooling approved by Nissan (or their approved network) for structural measurement, straightening and alignment.
- An annual audit or inspection process to verify that the facility continues to meet Nissan’s standards for structure, process and documentation.
- Use of genuine Nissan parts and adherence to documented repair procedures to restore structural integrity and safety systems.
- A quality-control process for verifying that repairs restore the vehicle to pre-accident condition, including advanced driver-assist system (ADAS) calibration.
These components matter because Nissan vehicles are engineered with precise specifications, and only a repair facility recognized as a Nissan Certified Body Shop has both access and authorization to follow the factory guidelines correctly. According to Nissan’s own collision repair network guidance, certified centers “meet or exceed Nissan’s standards for repair work, training, equipment, and delivery of customer service.” ( Nissan Collision Repair Network)
Re-Calibrating Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Modern Nissan vehicles often include advanced driver-assistance systems under the umbrella of Nissan Safety Shield 360 (or similar packages). Features such as automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning, lane-departure warning and adaptive cruise control depend on sensors, cameras and radar units. After a collision, these systems must be properly recalibrated — otherwise they may not function correctly, which can compromise your safety.
As a certified Nissan repair center, we ensure all required ADAS calibrations are completed. This involves:
- Conducting a diagnostic scan to identify sensor status and fault codes.
- Testing and recalibration of camera and radar systems according to Nissan’s published procedures.
- Verifying that all advanced features are fully operational before returning the vehicle to you.
Such calibrations are critical for performance, safety and warranty compliance — and this is one of the core benefits of choosing a Nissan Certified Body Shop.

Why Choose a Nissan Certified Body Shop?
Some Nissans have automatic emergency braking which also looks for pedestrians. Some have the automatic rear braking as well. When backing up there is what is called “rear cross traffic alert”. When repairing a Nissan these features as well as others, need to be considered so that the car is operating as it was before any collision accident. A certified Nissan Auto Body Shop knows what to look for. A shop knows what may or may not need to be calibrated. Shops know these things because they have access and are able to look at the factory repair procedures that spell out what needs to be done to properly repair your Nissan. There are repair procedures that deal with the repairing of panels, the how to and to what extent.
There are repair procedures regarding welding in a new panel, such as determining the number of spot welds it had before, and performing a destructive weld test to ensure the repair weld meets the standard. As time passes, more and more vehicles are made with high-strength steels. The metals can change from one year model to the next.

It is important to be able to look these things up to know if a panel or part is repairable or not. These are things a certified Nissan Collision Center can look up. Sometimes an insurance company will refer you to its preferred auto body shop. These are shops that have established a relationship with the insurance carrier, offering them discounts to be able to participate in their programs and obtain referrals. Check to see if the shops they are recommending are Nissan-certified. In some situations, they may be a Nissan Collision Repair Center; on many occasions, they are not. It is up to the vehicle owner to determine where they should get their car repaired. In California, consumers have the right to choose, the right to choose which collision repair center repairs their car. Sometimes an insurance carrier may tell you they warranty the work only if you use one of their preferred shops. The truth is that it is the shop that repairs the car that warrants the work, regardless of whether on a preferred list or not, so don’t be misled. A warranty is only as good as the shop that is willing to stand behind it, should you need any help. Discover the difference and ask around about Tony’s Body Shop.

Advanced Materials in Modern Nissan & Infiniti Vehicles
Many of today’s Nissan and Infiniti models (for example the GT-R, Maxima or LEAF) incorporate high-strength steel, aluminum panels and mixed materials in their construction. Repairing these materials requires specialized knowledge: for example, knowing when a panel is repairable or when it should be replaced, how many spot welds must remain, what weld pattern was used originally, and whether destructive weld tests are required to ensure structural integrity. In other words, only a certified facility can reliably handle these precision tasks.
As a Nissan Certified Body Shop, our technicians are trained in:
- Identifying high-strength or ultra-high-strength steel vs conventional steel.
- Performing structural measurements to verify that factory tolerances are met.
- Using approved bonding, welding or rivet methods for aluminum or mixed-material repair.
- Ensuring that any repaired areas meet factory-specified strength and durability criteria.
This means your vehicle is treated with the same standard of care it had when it rolled off the factory line.
