We are thrilled to announce a monumental achievement at Five Star Collision – we have officially achieved certification for repairs on the Chevrolet Corvette C8 model. This prestigious accolade cements our position as leaders in the auto body repair industry, showcasing our unwavering commitment to precision, excellence, and customer satisfaction.

Achieving certification for the C8 Corvette is a remarkable feat. It necessitates extensive training, a considerable investment in the latest equipment, and an unyielding commitment to perfection. Many body shops never reach this level of accreditation due to the stringent standards and complex challenges set by Chevrolet for the C8 Corvette. However, at Five Star Collision, we rise to the occasion, understanding the immense responsibility that comes with repairing this iconic sports car.

Do you know that structural parts are not available to repair shops that are not manufacturer-certified? Think about that before you bring your Corvette C8 to a non-certified repair shop.
