Facilities such as the aforementioned are technically specialized for maintenance and accidental repairs, which further help retain consumer faith in brands. The unprecedented involvement of automotive giants in the development of service offerings to expand their consumer pool is thus likely to augment automotive collision repair industry share.

In order to provide efficient repairing services to customers, automakers have implemented standardized certification programs for independent repair shops and dealerships. For instance, General Motors, one of the most prominent automotive behemoths, has recently announced that it intends to introduce a collision certification program for its dealerships and independent repair shops by 2018. This move was brought about by a plethora of factors, one of them being the surging use of lightweight materials for vehicles incorporated with electronic safety equipment leading to an increasing need to calibrate the vehicle body after accidents. Thus, in order to provide effective repair, GM has introduced a scanning tool to identify the defects in the vehicle’s safety systems and powertrain.
