“We believe this partnership is aligned with our ongoing strategy to provide the best possible training to shops and technicians from across the country, including the growing EV sector.

“Having a more standardized approach will benefit the key players in the market as well as the customers.” 

The Sustaining Partner Program plays a vital role in advancing I-CAR Canada’s vision that every collision repair professional has the information, knowledge, and skills necessary to perform complete, safe, quality repairs. 

By partnering with industry leaders such as UAP/NAPA, I-CAR Canada continues to provide greater access to education, helping to address the challenges of increasing repair complexity and evolving vehicle technologies. 

With this new partnership, collision repair professionals and businesses across Canada will benefit from additional opportunities to develop their skills while earning I-CAR Canada training credits.

This initiative not only supports individual career growth but also strengthens the industry’s ability to provide the highest standard of repairs for the ultimate benefit of consumers.
