Consumers demand accurate information in real-time. Trends in automotive consumer behavior include the need for trustworthy consumer reviews and valid auto repair quality certifications. Rather than visiting general review sites, consumers are increasingly visiting specialty review sites such as Autobody-Review.com. To increase the data available to consumers, Autobody-Review.com added the technology to track  and post VeriFacts Verified Quality (VQ) and VQ Medallion status in real-time.

VeriFacts Automotive is a highly respected organization known for collecting information in the auto body industry which is used to verify the quality of a collision repair facility’s workmanship output. VeriFacts performs unannounced visits to facilities and verifies that repairs with in-process vehicles are being performed correctly. Once a facility has a consistent record of verified, high quality repairs, they are awarded VQ status.  The certification is extremely challenging to earn and even more difficult to maintain.

AutoBody-Review.com CEO Curtis Nixon said, “AutoBody-Review is built with the auto body shop customer in mind. Our customers demand accurate and up-to-the-minute information. We are pleased to be able to provide this VeriFacts data to our customers and reward the shops who work so hard to get and maintain VeriFacts VQ and VQ medallion certification with more business.”

Farzam Afshar, CEO of VeriFacts Automotive, said, “ We are excited to pair our VQ and VQ Medallion level body shop lists with AutoBody-Review’s customer reviews. Our customers work hard to maintain their certification status, and AutoBody-Review.com will allow us to expose that information to the nearly 100,000 customers that visit Autobody-Review.com each month.”
