What It Means to Choose a Nissan Certified Collision Center

When your Nissan is involved in a collision, the repair shop you choose matters more than most people realize. Not all auto body shops are created equal — and Nissan knows this. That's why Nissan created its Certified Collision Center program: a rigorous credentialing process that ensures only the most qualified, well-equipped, and thoroughly trained shops can carry the Nissan Certified name.

At Unique Auto Body, we are proud to be a Nissan Certified Collision Center serving the Salt Lake City area. Here's what that certification means for you and your vehicle.

What Is a Nissan Certified Collision Center?

A Nissan Certified auto body shop is one that has been formally evaluated and approved by Nissan to perform collision repairs on its vehicles. This isn't a self-declared title — it's earned through a demanding application and audit process in which Nissan directly assesses the shop's equipment, technician training, repair processes, and facility standards.

Unique Auto Body has met every one of Nissan's requirements to earn and maintain this designation. When you bring your Nissan to us, you're not just trusting a local shop — you're trusting a facility that Nissan itself has vetted and approved.

Nissan-Specific Training and Technical Expertise

One of the most significant advantages of choosing a Nissan Certified shop is access to manufacturer-level training. Nissan provides its certified collision centers with ongoing, model-specific training so that technicians understand the unique engineering, materials, and structural design behind every vehicle in the Nissan lineup.

At Unique Auto Body, our technicians are trained directly on Nissan repair procedures — including the latest techniques for advanced high-strength steel, aluminum components, and the sensor-laden safety systems found in modern Nissan vehicles. This means your car isn't being repaired using generic methods — it's being restored using the exact procedures Nissan designed for it.

OEM Parts: Built for Your Nissan, by Nissan

When a Nissan Certified Collision Center like Unique Auto Body repairs your vehicle, we use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts — the same components that were used to build your car on the assembly line.

This distinction is critical. Aftermarket parts may look similar, but they are often manufactured to different tolerances and may not integrate seamlessly with your vehicle's safety systems, structural integrity, or advanced driver assistance features. OEM parts fit precisely, perform as intended, and help ensure your Nissan is restored to the condition it was in before the accident — not an approximation of it.

State-of-the-Art Equipment and Facility Standards

Earning Nissan Certified status requires a significant investment in the right tools. Unique Auto Body has made that investment. From precision frame measuring and straightening systems to manufacturer-approved welding equipment and paint matching technology, our facility is outfitted to handle Nissan repairs at the highest level.

Nissan doesn't just check our equipment once — Nissan Certified shops undergo regular audits and inspections to ensure ongoing compliance with these standards. That means when you visit Unique Auto Body, you can trust that our facility is continuously held to the same high bar that earned us certification in the first place.

Safety Restored — Not Just Appearance

Modern Nissan vehicles are built with sophisticated safety architectures: crumple zones, reinforced cabin structures, and sensor systems that work together in a fraction of a second during a collision. If these systems aren't repaired correctly, they may fail when you need them most.

As a Nissan Certified shop, Unique Auto Body follows Nissan's approved repair procedures precisely — not just to make your car look right, but to make sure every safety system functions exactly as Nissan designed it. This includes proper recalibration of cameras, radar, and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) sensors that may be affected during a collision.

Your car will leave our shop looking great. More importantly, it will leave structurally sound and safety-ready.

Warranty-Backed Repairs

Repairs completed at a Nissan Certified Collision Center typically include warranty coverage on both the parts and the workmanship. At Unique Auto Body, we stand behind our work — and so does Nissan. This warranty provides our customers with meaningful, long-term peace of mind that goes beyond the day you pick up your vehicle.
