Precision Auto Body Gilbert Chandler and Tempe are part of the GM Certified Collision Repair Network. GM (CRN) shops must meet strict standards, including specialized technician training, advanced structural/aluminum repair equipment, and adherence to OEM procedures to ensure vehicle safety, particularly for ADAS and aluminum components.

Key GM Certification Requirements:
Training & Certification: Technicians must complete specialized training (e.g., I-CAR) and stay updated on GM-approved repair procedures, including specialized training for Electric Vehicles (BEV).
Tools & Equipment: Shops must have certified tools such as a 9,200 lb. frame rack, 3-stage hoist (15,000 lbs), aluminum welding equipment, wet-mix dust extraction systems, and specialized scanning tools capable of generating GM GDS2 reports.
Structural & Aluminum Capability: High-strength steel and aluminum repair capabilities are required, often requiring specific welders and rivet guns.
Facility & Quality Control: Shops must pass audits, maintain a designated workspace, use approved refinish systems, and offer a limited lifetime warranty on repairs.
