The Industry Standard for Collision Repair Excellence in Lakeside, AZ

The I-CAR Gold Class Certification is the highest recognition in the collision repair industry. Awarded by the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR), this certification means our shop invests in continuous training and education for every technician — ensuring we meet the latest vehicle repair standards and manufacturer guidelines.

Only about 20% of collision repair facilities in the U.S. achieve Gold Class status. Heck’s Collision Center is proud to be part of that elite group.
