BMW has announced that independent body shops will be welcome to join its network of Certified Collision Repair Centers.
The new initiative allows each of BMW’s U.S. dealerships to support a maximum of two independent body shops who wish to get certified by the company. According to BMW, the stores need to be close to the dealerships’ main customer bases.
Currently, more than half of BMW’s U.S. dealerships own and run a body shop as part of its Certified Collision Repair Center network, which, in the words of the car manufacturer, “meets high BMW requirements for training, supplies, equipment and repair methods.”
There has never been a better time to expand, according to Stephan Reiff, vice president of aftersales at BMW of North America, who noted that there are an increasing number of BMW vehicles on the road, many of which are 10 years old or older. The initiative “creates new revenue opportunities for BMW dealers and enables them to provide customers with even broader access to BMW Certified Collision Repair Centers and the unwavering quality, first-class service, and peace of mind that this accreditation assures.”
According to BMW, these methods are “approved by BMW experts” and “enable technicians to attain body tolerances of 1 millimeter or less – significantly more exact than the industry standard.”
Certified Collision Repair Facility for BMW

The term “restored” may not mean the same thing to our fully qualified technicians and technical analyst as it does to a claims adjuster. Fortunately, we have a track record of cooperating successfully with insurance companies, and our repair processes are completely recorded.
Protect the value and performance of your BMW. For as long as you own or lease your car, all work done by BMW Certified Collision Repair Centers is guaranteed.
A collision repair facility must have industry-leading diagnostic tools, certified measuring tools, spray booth systems, hand tools, spot welding equipment, and more in order to participate in a BMW-certified program. BMW has, in a nutshell, always represented the finest standards in the automotive sector. And that’s how we want to keep it.
Your car must frequently be partially disassembled in order to perform serious repairs. For precise accuracy, Certified Collision Repair Center professionals employ equipment and processes created from car designs for everything from individual repairs to reassembly. These methods, which have been approved by BMW experts, enable technicians to reach body tolerances of one millimeter or less*, which is much more accurate than the industry norm.
