Question
Are there any auto body industry award? If so what are they  and how can my shop get in the nomination process for them?

Answer
Bryan-

The only award I am aware of is a  special certification from ICAR such as "Gold Class". If all technicians maintain certain sandards within their training then you can pass up regular ICAR certification and achieve Gold status for your shop. Your paint manufacturer may have certifications or awards for your technicians as well. Contact your paint representative. Good Luck!!! Mark
