Certification is a process and a worthwhile goal.
Real Benefits. Measurable Impact.
The professional automotive recycling industry utilizes the set of standards through the CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE RECYCLERS or CAR program as guidance to compliance and excellence at their facilities.
Certification is garnering more attention than ever from outside the industry as online sales soar and customers seek a way to differentiate untrustworthy entities from business leaders who run safe, compliant workplaces with quality parts.
The certification process is more user-friendly than ever before. Whether you are new or renewing, CAR membership begins with ordering a certification tracking record. The new online system is easy to use, as well as easy to start and stop at any time.
Multiple users can easily access your annual record so that third party auditors may enter assessments or photographs and staff can complete the basic facility information or update the record when improvements are made throughout the year.
