Certified Tesla, Subaru, & Honda Shop

Certified Repairs
It’s important to visit an auto body shop that knows what they’re doing. Not only are we I-CAR certified, but we’re also a Tesla, Honda, and Subaru approved repair shop, which means our technicians are certified and trained to work on these vehicles. While for the most part, cars are pretty similar regardless of their make and model, there are differences that can really throw a wrench in things if a technician isn’t properly trained. Becoming a certified repair shop requires hours of specific, factory training for each car make. Bringing your car to an auto body shop that is certified for that make will ultimately reduce the chance of error and decrease the chances of you needing to return in the near future.
Tesla Repair
Mackin’s is part of the Tesla-Approved External Body Shop Network making us one of the few companies in Oregon and Southwest Washington that’s certified for Tesla body repair. Body repairs can go beyond mere cosmetic damage—the safety, functionality, and longevity of a Tesla can be severely hindered by damage to the car body. Since the tools and methods used to fix a Tesla are entirely different than those needed for a standard car, Mackin’s’ Tesla technicians have received rigorous training, assessments, and support from the Tesla factory. Tesla demands the highest standards from the approved body shops in its network, and at Mackin’s Auto Body, we exceed these standards and use state-of-the-art unibody, frame, and diagnostic repair equipment to meet OEM specifications. Our claim-to-fame is that our Tesla approved body shop on 65th Avenue is structurally certified, meaning we can order structural parts and do major repairs—most shops are restricted to only minor repairs.

Honda Repair
Mackin’s Gresham, Hollywood, North Portland and East Vancouver locations are Honda ProFirst Certified shops, which means our skilled technicians at those locations have gone through industry education and annual third-party re-certifications. In order to become a ProFirst Certified shop, an auto body shop must earn an I-CAR Gold Class Professional, Verifacts VQ, or Verifacts Medallion—we are an I-CAR Gold Class Professional business. Mackin’s technicians not only must complete I-CAR training, but also a Honda-specific training that focuses on Honda’s recommended repair methods, materials, tools, and equipment. As a certified Honda body shop, we have access to service and repair information regarding all necessary mechanical and technological repairs. Honda-certified shops have access to repair information and genuine parts from all years and models of Honda automobiles. We are committed to providing the best customer and vehicle service that follows Honda’s high standards.

Subaru Repair
As a Subaru Certified Collision Center, we use proper training and equipment to adhere to strict safety and quality standards to return your car to its original factory specifications. This process requires rigorous training in Subaru-specific components like EyeSight® and other driver assisting technology, as well as non-proprietary repairs. To ensure a durable, long-lasting fix, we recommend the use of genuine Subaru collision parts—generic, aftermarket collision parts often don’t fit properly or match the body lines. We have several Subaru Certified shops in the Portland/Vancouver area.

Other Makes & Models
While we are certified to work on Teslas, Hondas, and Subarus, we also do work on many other makes and models. Factory certifications come with direct access to tools, equipment, genuine replacement parts, and OEM guidelines, which ultimately allow us to maintain your warranties during a collision repair.
Best in Class
Mackin’s is an I-CAR Gold-Class Professional business, which means we have achieved one of the highest standards in the industry. This certification is the most coveted recognition in the I-CAR program, which requires repair shops to meet rigorous standards that only 10% of the industry currently meets. I-CAR’s development program provides shops with reliable training for acquiring Gold-Class recognition and maintaining their rigorous repair standards.
Portland’s Most Qualified
Mackin’s Auto Body has been a Portland staple since before Hondas and Subarus took to the streets—Nikola Tesla had only just passed away 2 years before we opened our first shop. Sure, these certifications are relatively recent achievements for Mackin’s, but their principles have been in our blood since day one.
