What Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Ram certification requires
Certification isn't a sticker — it's an audit. To carry it, a shop has to prove the following, and keep proving it:
- FCA/Stellantis-specific technician training across the four brands
- Aluminum repair equipment and a dedicated work area
- Repairs to FCA's published body repair procedures
- Genuine Mopar parts on structural and safety components
- Facility audit to earn and maintain certification
Why a Ram, Jeep, Dodge or Chrysler should go to a certified shop
The Ram 1500 uses an aluminum hood, tailgate, and other panels over a high-strength-steel frame; Jeep and Dodge models mix aluminum and advanced steels through the structure. Aluminum needs separate welding equipment and an isolated work area to avoid corrosion-causing cross-contamination — the exact capability the FCA certification audits for. Repairing these trucks and SUVs with steel-only equipment is how hidden problems start.
FCA driver-assist systems — forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise on the newer Ram and Grand Cherokee — rely on aimed radar and cameras. Collision work moves them, and as a certified facility we recalibrate to factory spec so they read the road correctly.

What Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Ram repair demands
Genuine Mopar body and structural parts are matched to each vehicle's designed strength and fit. On a certified repair we use them where safety and structure require, keeping the factory warranty intact.
Aluminum panel work — common on the Ram 1500 — is done with dedicated aluminum equipment in a separated area, exactly as the FCA certification requires, so there's no galvanic corrosion down the line.

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Ram certified repair — common questions
What is an FCA Certified Collision Repair Facility?
A shop FCA/Stellantis has audited and approved to repair Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles to published procedures — including the aluminum equipment and separated work area those vehicles require — with genuine Mopar parts on structural and safety work.
Why does aluminum repair need special equipment?
Aluminum requires its own welding equipment and an isolated work area to prevent cross-contamination with steel, which causes corrosion. The Ram 1500's aluminum panels are a prime example — certification verifies the shop is equipped for it.
Do you use genuine Mopar parts?
On structural and safety components, yes — it's part of the certification standard. We show you exactly what's used on every estimate.
Can you calibrate FCA driver-assist systems?
Yes. Repairs that move a radar or camera on newer Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler models require recalibration to factory spec, which we perform in-house.
Do you repair the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator?
Yes — including their aluminum components and body-on-frame structure, repaired to FCA procedures as part of a certified repair.
