Assured Performance, Auto Damage Experts join forces

May 30, 2014
Auto Damage Experts will now perform the inspection and verification of  Assured Performance Certified repair facilities across the country.
Assured Performance and Auto Damage Experts (ADE) announced at the latest Collision Industry Conference (CIC) that ADE has been chosen to perform the inspection and verification of Assured Performance Certified repair facilities across the country.

The Certification program provides an unbiased, third-party assessment of a shop’s ability to properly repair today’s complex vehicles back to the manufacturer’s specifications by having the proper tools, equipment, training, and facility.  The partnership between Assured Performance and ADE will deliver an accurate and efficient process to assess the participating shops’ capabilities, providing the consumer with an accurate and credible national network of competent and reliable shops to choose from in the event of a collision.

ADE has been long known for its superior vehicle appraisal and valuation services, but ADE also provides a suite of services including, but not limited to:

  • Detailed Collision Forensics
  • On-Site and Remote Pre-Repair Inspections – ensuring the accuracy of an estimate
  • In-Process Repair Monitoring ensuring the proper processes and materials
  • Post-Repair Inspections and Verifications – providing confirmation of an accurate repair
  • Training and Assistance in Damage Analysis – equipping shops and adjustors with the most up-to-date information on repair specifications and techniques.
  • Assessment of Required Repairs and the manufacturer’s recommended processes and materials
  • Coaching/Consulting for day-to-day business operations

Recently, ADE has expanded their operations to include training and facility verification, so that repairers are able to offer post-repair inspections to their local communities.  

“Assured Performance has developed a first-class program, which offers significant value and opportunities to its qualified members,” said Barrett Smith, ADE’s Founder and President.  “We’re excited and proud to work with Assured Performance in helping quality repairers take advantage of the many benefits of the Certification program, including recognitions from numerous OEMs.”

According to David Smith, VP of Operations at ADE, “our partnership with Assured Performance will provide new opportunities for repairers across the country, and it will allow us to introduce our company and services to a wide-range of shops who could benefit from the relationship.  Both of our companies are rooted in the highest ethical standards, and we anticipate a long relationship with Assured Performance that will benefit all of those we serve.”

“Barrett and I have known each other for longer than each of us would care to admit.  This is the first time we have had an opportunity to work together, and I’m excited to do so,” stated Scott Biggs, Founder and President of Assured Performance.  “ADE’s participation will enable our company accurate verification of member and candidate qualifications in a timely and efficient manner.”

“In our ongoing quest to improve Assured Performance’s services and programs to our members, Auto Damage Experts’ on-site inspection services will enable us to leverage a more efficient assessment of existing and prospective repair facilities.  This will help expedite the Certification process, allowing qualified facilities to realize the benefits much sooner,” added Aaron Clark, VP of Certification and Network Development at Assured Performance.
