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.
