OEM-Certified Collision Repair in Langley, BC
When your vehicle needs collision repairs, choosing an OEM-certified body shop ensures your car is restored exactly as the manufacturer intended. On Line Collision has earned certifications from eight major automotive manufacturers, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining the highest repair standards for your vehicle.
OEM certifications aren’t just logos on a wall—they represent ongoing training, specialized equipment, and direct access to manufacturer repair procedures that many collision shops simply don’t have.
What Are OEM Certifications?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer—the company that built your vehicle. An OEM certification means that a collision repair facility has met strict requirements set by the vehicle manufacturer for equipment, training, and repair procedures.
To earn and maintain these certifications, our technicians complete regular manufacturer training, our facility undergoes inspections, and we invest in brand-specific tools and diagnostic equipment. This ensures that when we repair your Honda, Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Mazda, Kia, Subaru, or Chrysler vehicle, we’re following the exact methods and specifications the manufacturer requires.
Why OEM Repairs Matter for Modern Vehicles?
Today’s vehicles are far more complex than those built even five years ago. They’re equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, multiple cameras and sensors, aluminum and high-strength steel frames, and computer systems that control everything from braking to collision avoidance.
Repairing these vehicles correctly requires more than general collision repair knowledge. It requires manufacturer-specific training on how each system works, what tools are needed, and how to properly calibrate safety systems after a repair. An improperly repaired sensor or uncalibrated camera could mean your vehicle’s safety systems don’t function when you need them most.
OEM-certified repairs also protect your manufacturer’s warranty. Using non-approved repair methods or aftermarket parts can create warranty complications down the road, potentially costing you thousands in repairs that would otherwise be covered.
