Your job requires that you keep on top of the latest in vehicle, tool and equipment technology – I-CAR is committed to helping you do so in one convenient place. Developed in response to industry feedback, the Repairability Technical Support (RTS) team can help with any of your collision repair related questions. The RTS team has access to vehicle maker position statements, if a vehicle maker has a sectioning procedure available, or what I-CAR says about a particular subject. Some of this information can be found on your own by using the links on the left menu of the RTS website. On the website, you can select the year, make, and model and see results for Ask I-CAR, OEM Calibration Requirements, OEM Partial Part Replacement, OEM Restraints System Part Replacement, and the OEM Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Disable Search.
The I-CAR Sustaining Partner program is an annual subscription for collision repair organizations such as OEMs, Insurers, Information Providers and Suppliers, that brings the Inter-Industry together to support the collision repair industry. Learn more about the Sustaining Partner program.
