The BSI Kitemark has been in existence since 1903. Since then, it has been used as a symbol of quality and safety, recognised and valued by consumers for years as a truly independent guarantee of quality wherever it is seen, and that includes vehicle damage repairs.
Motorists believe in the BSI Kitemark™
do not just take our word for it
The BSI Kitemark for Vehicle Body Repair is all about the Quality, Safety and Trust that we know consumers look for from an independent survey commissioned by BSI*:
Quality
A staggering 94% of vehicle owners support unannounced inspections to make sure garage standards remain high. Unannounced regular visits by BSI Kitemark inspectors are an essential feature of BSI Kitemark approval which other schemes do not offer.
Safety
Almost a third of respondents worried about the safety of their vehicle, after it had been repaired. In certain cases, failure of a body shop to adopt the correct repair method could seriously affect the vehicles integrity in the way it may perform in the event of an accident. The BSI Kitemark scheme insists that the correct repair methods and quality control procedures are followed, not to mention the use and maintenance of suitable tools and equipment, and appropriate parts.
Trust
84% of drivers said that they would feel more comfortable if the repair centre had the BSI Kitemark for Vehicle Damage Repair.
As a BSI Kitemark-approved vehicle repairer, you can take advantage of the positive association of quality, safety and trust that consumers recognise with the BSI Kitemark.
