About I‑CAR
I‑CAR, the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair, was founded in 1979 as a neutral partner with strong support from the entire industry. The unibody vehicle structure unified the industry to create I‑CAR to ensure training was available to perform complete, safe and quality repairs. Since then, I‑CAR has continued to lead the industry with world-class training and resources on emerging technologies, materials and repair methods.
