Barrie, Ontario — August 7, 2017 — Daryll O’Keefe, General Manager of the Ontario region for Fix Auto, has announced that Fix Auto Barrie North has achieved recognition under the Canadian Collision Industry Accreditation Program (CCIAP).
Earlier this year, Fix Auto Barrie North attained Honda/Acura Pro-First recognition and was well underway to completing the CCIAP accreditation.
“We had already purchased the necessary equipment, including compression and aluminum welders, laser measuring system and most recently three vacuum sanding systems,” said Kim Roberts, Office Manager at Fix Auto Barrie North. “I-CAR training was our biggest focus—understanding this is very important for our technicians to stay up-to-date on repair processes and technology. We implemented a plan to have everyone complete one independent learning course per week over a six-week period. This made the goal realistic and achievable for our team.”
The shop is currently I-CAR Gold Class in Progress, which is one of the requirements needed to achieve the CCIAP accreditation. The facility has two employees that are I-CAR Platinum and two more who will be Platinum certified by the end of August.
“The Roberts’ family has been part of the Fix Auto family since 2003, and have been active participants in all of our initiatives throughout their tenure as strategic partners,” said O’Keefe. “Their focus on improvement and industry leadership is a testament to their dedication, and our shared vision of the Fix Auto brand driving forward.”
