PAS 125 Kitemark - What it means:
When a car goes in for body repair, you need to feel confident that the repair is carried out to the highest standards so that the vehicle not only protects the lives of those on the road, but maintains the pre-crash integrity of the car.
A bodyshop that has the Kitemark for vehicle body repair, means you can feel reassured that what ever the type of repair needed, whether it be cosmetic, a structural repair or involves aluminium and composite bonding, the quality will be as good as it was before the accident happened.
Failure of a bodyshop to adopt the correct repair method could in certain cases seriously affect the vehicles integrity in the way it may perform in the event of an accident.
Kitemark pledge:
- Equipment - Suitable equipment is used to undertake repairs
- Methods - Correct repair methods must be used
- Staff Training - Technicians must be properly trained and currently competent
- Inspection - Checks that the job is completed to the correct standard
- Material Quality - Checks to ensure all materials meet the required quality standards
