We're an I-CAR Gold Class Shop

What is the Gold Class Designation?

When your car has been in a collision, getting it repaired properly is critical for your family’s safety and your peace of mind. But how do you know if a shop has the up-to-date knowledge to repair your vehicle safely? The Gold Class designation lets you know a collision repair shop has trained technicians who know how to repair your vehicle properly. Approximately 10% of collision repair shops currently complete the rigorous training requirements needed to meet the Gold Class standard.

The Crouse AutoBody Team of Excellence

Businesses that earn Gold Class status are proud of their accomplishment and will typically display the Gold Class logo prominently in their shop and on their website to help you identify them as highly trained repair facilities.

As vehicles incorporate more and more new materials and new technologies, current training has become increasingly important for proper repairs. Gold Class shops are trained to know:

  • How to make the right decision for a safe repair
  • How to find hidden damage others may not see
  • The latest repair procedures and technologies
  • Which parts to repair and which to replace

It's You're Choice - Make It Crouse!

What you need to know after the accident...

It is your choice where you have your vehicle repaired! No one can tell you where to go including the insurance company. That is called steering and it is illegal. They can give you a list of shops that they feel are qualified to do the repairs. You only need one estimate – from the company where you want your repairs done.

“Maryland law prohibits an insurer or an adjuster from requiring that a certain repair shop be used or from recommending a particular shop without notifying the claimant or the insured that their vehicle may be repaired by the auto shop of their choice.”

Excerpt from A Consumer Guide to Auto Insurance distributed by the Maryland Insurance Administration:

If you are a claimant you are entitled to a rental car. You may have to ask for it in some cases. ​If you are involved in an uninsured motorist claim you may only have a $250 deductible and you may be entitled to a rental car.
