Why Choose a Infiniti Certified Body Shop?
A non certified shop possibly would not take the time to research if the glass was a reusable item or a one time use part. There are other position statements with regards to things like glass replacement, door mirror replacement, the use of used parts, etc. An Infiniti Certified Body Shop works diligently to follow these position statements. Returning the vehicle to its pre crash rating is the goal. Sometimes an insurance company may opt to push the cheapest part available. This mindset is one of cost savings only. This is where an Infiniti body shop needs to educate the insurance company with regards to what Infinity says it can and cannot do. There are also position statements with regards to performing a pre scan and post scan of the vehicle’s diagnostic unit.
The unit that stores any past fault codes . The reason for both scans is to document any past DTC’s. Some of these codes may tell the shop that a seat belt with a pre tensioner has deployed and needs replacement. Upon completion of the repair, a post scan using only an infinity approved scan tool is done to clear any codes that may have come up during the repair process like driving the door to the paint shop with the door disassembled. The value of the final scan more importantly is to document that everything is re-connected for the customer, and is operational. These are just a few items that a Certified Infiniti collision center does to return your car back to its pre-accident, but more important to return the crash rating that the vehicle manufacturer intended. This is why it is more important to take your vehicle to a certified collision repair center.
