CCC Intelligent Solutions Partners with Nissan for OEM Repair Certification
In a significant development for the automotive industry, CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. (CCC) has announced that Nissan will be the inaugural automaker to join the newly established CCC® OEM Link Network. This collaboration aims to enhance the certification process for collision repair while improving performance visibility across Nissan's growing Certified Collision Repair Network, which currently comprises approximately 2,000 repair facilities throughout the United States.
The Necessity for Certification in Modern Repairs
As vehicle technology evolves with advanced materials like high-strength steel, aluminum, and electric vehicle (EV) components, the complexity of repairs continues to grow. This heightened complexity necessitates specialized equipment, processes, and comprehensive technician training. However, participation in OEM certification programs has faced hurdles due to challenges linked to program administration, compliance requirements, and doubts regarding return on investment (ROI).
The CCC OEM Link is poised to alleviate these concerns for both automakers and their affiliated repair networks. Under this partnership, CCC will oversee certified network operations for Nissan. This will encompass the administration of shop audits, billing processes, and effective communication between Nissan and its certified repair partners. CCC will utilize its advanced software platform, along with a dedicated team of field operatives experienced with collision repairers across the nation.
Expert Insights on the Collaboration
Andreas Hecht, Senior Vice President of OEM Services at CCC, emphasized the importance of industry collaboration: "As vehicles become more advanced, achieving safe and proper repairs requires strong collaboration across the entire ecosystem." He noted that CCC's OEM Link is designed to create a solid foundation for certified repair programs, promoting quality repairs and enhancing customer trust. This initiative marks a pivotal moment for Nissan as it prioritizes rapid and safe vehicle repairs.
Benefits of the OEM Link Program
The introduction of the OEM Link program is set to reduce the administrative burden on repair shops while assisting Nissan in maintaining network consistency. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced support for technician training and readiness.
- Strengthening of brand reputation through high-quality repairs.
- A commitment from Nissan to boost job referrals to certified shops.
With more than 30,500 shops actively using CCC software, Nissan now has a robust partner for expanding its certified program and ensuring a network of qualified shops across the U.S.
