Why BMW Drivers in Edmonton Trust Modern Auto Body: Factory-Certified BMW Collision Repairs
When your BMW needs body repair, you don’t want just any shop working on it — you want factory-certified expertise, precision tools, and a commitment to maintaining the performance, safety, and aesthetics BMW is known for.
At Modern Auto Body, we’re proud to be a BMW Certified Collision Repair Centre (CCRC). This certification isn’t easy to earn — and that’s exactly why it matters.
Here’s what it means to be a BMW-certified body shop, what it takes to qualify, and why BMW owners in Edmonton trust us with their vehicles.
What Is a BMW Certified Collision Repair Centre?
A BMW Certified Collision Repair Centre (CCRC) is a body shop that has been approved and endorsed by BMW to perform collision repairs to BMW’s exacting factory standards.
Not every body shop can meet these standards — in fact, very few do. BMW’s certification program is designed to ensure that only highly skilled, well-equipped, and specially trained facilities can call themselves certified.
What Does It Take to Become BMW Factory Certified?
To become certified by BMW, a collision centre must meet rigorous requirements across several key areas:
1. OEM Tools and Equipment
BMW vehicles are built with advanced materials — such as high-strength steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, and composite blends — that require specialized repair tools. Certified shops must invest in BMW-approved equipment to ensure precise repairs, panel alignments, and high-quality finishes.
Critically, this also includes the ability to recalibrate BMW’s advanced driver-assistance and safety systems (ADAS). That means systems like braking sensors, lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, and parking assist can be properly recalibrated after a repair. Without the correct equipment, these technologies may not function properly — which could compromise your vehicle’s safety and performance.
2. BMW-Specific Technician Training
All certified facilities must have technicians who are trained and continuously updated by BMW. This includes instruction on new model construction, structural repair, electrical systems, and recalibration of safety features. Our technicians are qualified to work on all BMW models, including the newest generations with advanced electronics and driver-assist features.
3. OEM Parts Only
BMW mandates the use of Genuine BMW Parts for all repairs at certified facilities. These parts are designed to meet exact factory standards for fit, function, and durability — helping maintain your vehicle’s resale value, appearance, and safety.
4. Facility Standards and Quality Control
BMW certification includes strict requirements for shop cleanliness, documentation, ongoing quality control, and customer service. Certified shops undergo regular audits and inspections to ensure they remain in full compliance with BMW’s expectations.
