AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLLISION REPAIR INTER-INDUSTRY
01/15/2021 by John Van Alstyne, CEO and President of I-CAR
I-CAR was built because all six segments of the inter-industry recognized the need to put the safety of drivers first. And, though we continue our work to achieve complete, safe, and quality repairs, the impact of COVID-19 affects the safety of the inter-industry in a different way - in health, in accessibility to things we need, and in financial stability. We recognize the strains of this impact and are steadfast in our efforts to support the people in the industry to the best of our ability as COVID-19 continues to impact our inter-industry.

Easy-to-Use, Always Updated Course Matrix Taps into Value of I-CAR’s Industry Protocol
11/30/2020 by Val D'Anna
Of all of I-CAR’s recent achievements, the Industry Knowledge and Skill Protocol stands apart as our master work of the past decade. Creating a blueprint for the industry, with knowledge and skills broken down in detail for eight key technician roles, is a herculean task that is ever-evolving. It will need to be maintained with updates as long as the industry continues to evolve and change. Much more than a project, the Protocol is an ongoing commitment I-CAR has made to the inter-industry. There simply is no one else so well positioned to take it on as I-CAR.
