VeriFacts
Outstanding Quality ACE Award
Winners Honored
Newport Beach, CA, November
4, 2008 —The winners of VeriFacts Automotive’s
outstanding quality awards, known as the ACE Awards (Achievement
in Collision Repair Excellence), were presented at the 2008 Collision
Industry Achievement Awards Luncheon, held in conjunction with the
International Autobody Congress and Exposition (NACE).
The VeriFacts ACE Awards were established to recognize outstanding
performance from individual technicians and collision repair centers
committed to attaining higher repair quality as measured through
the VeriFacts Shop Coaching Program. To qualify for an ACE Award,
collision repair centers must participate in the VeriFacts Shop
Coaching Program for at least six months. The technician and shops
that scored highest in their respective categories were presented
the top award, with finalists being recognized with a certificate
of repair excellence.
The VeriFacts March Taylor Technician ACE Award was presented to
Gus Marquez of Caliber Collision Center in Fresno, CA. “Gus
is the go-to guy in his shop and has the highest standards for himself
and those around him,” stated Mark Olson, Chief Operating
Officer of VeriFacts Automotive. “Gus’ manager, Dan
Imirian, told us that Gus is the best technician he has seen in
his career that spans over 40 years. That’s high praise and
further validates our selection.”
The VeriFacts Repair Center ACE Award was presented to Big Sky
Auto Body Palo Verde in Tucson, AZ. Mark Claypool, Vice President
of Operations said, “Big Sky is a showcase of everything that
is right in our industry. They consistently score very high across
the board in our monthly assessments. Their curb appeal is fantastic
but what they do inside, where it really matters, is even better.
They are a great shop worthy of this award.”
“Choosing the winners was a real challenge this year, the
scoring was so close, mere decimals between the winners and runners
up,” said Farzam Afshar, CEO and co-founder of VeriFacts Automotive.
“VeriFacts would like to congratulate all winners and finalists
for their commitment to producing high quality collision repairs.
