STEUBENVILLE — The Team Automotive body shop has been named the newest Toyota Certified Collision Center, Toyota Motor North America Inc. has announced.

Collision centers can earn certification from Toyota based on meeting criteria including advanced collision training, as well as evaluation of the collision center’s operations, including facility, business practices, employee certifications and equipment benchmark achievements.

“It’s a privilege to have Team Automotive’s body shop earn the Toyota Collision Certification for their professionalism and ultimate dedication to the safety of our customers,” said Scott Henderson, senior manager of collision operations at Toyota.

Today’s increasingly sophisticated vehicles feature an ever-growing number of components, parts and advanced materials, resulting in rapidly changing collision repair techniques and processes that require extensive training of collision technicians to be able to perform complete repairs for maximum vehicle safety.

TCCC dealers are dedicated to improving collision repairs by repairing Toyota vehicles using repair procedures for the benefit of customers. Only a small percentage of collision centers nationwide meet Toyota’s training requirements for collision center managers, estimators and repair and refinish technicians needed to achieve designation as a certified collision center.
