Certification is a process and a worthwhile goal.
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.

The CAR standards and Program Guides are tools that all automotive recyclers can use – not just those that are CAR certified – to improve and grow their business. CAR resources are available to help professional auto recyclers mitigate compliance issues and maintain safe facilities. Find resources on the certification website https://aracertification.com/.

GOLD SEAL CERTIFICATION goes beyond compliance to quality management. ARA Gold Seal certified members know that customers want quality parts, written product guarantees, and total customer satisfaction. The ARA Gold Seal Program is a natural next step for automotive recyclers who have already completed their Certified Automotive Recycler (CAR) certification and want to take their business to the next level.
Established by ARA with an endorsement from the Automotive Service Association, the Gold Seal Program allows recyclers to join forces to take a proactive stance to improve quality and increase customer satisfaction. Quality assurance is what sets professional auto recyclers apart from their competitors.
