Audi Auto Body Repair- Ultra Advanced Lightweight Certification 

​The Audi Ultra Advanced Lightweight Certification is Audi’s highest-level designation for collision repair centers, ensuring that shops are equipped and trained to handle the complex materials and technologies found in modern Audi vehicles. This certification is particularly crucial for models like the A8, R8, and Q7, which utilize a combination of aluminum, ultra-high-strength steel, and other advanced materials that require precise repair methods to maintain vehicle safety and performance.​

To achieve Audi Ultra certification, repair centers must meet stringent requirements, including specialized training and investment in OEM-approved tools and equipment. Technicians are trained in advanced welding techniques, such as steel and aluminum welding, to meet international standards like ISO 9606-1. These skills are essential for performing repairs that preserve the vehicle’s structural integrity and safety features. The training includes both theoretical instruction and hands-on practice, with welds tested for quality through methods like X-ray inspection and destructive testing. 

Being Audi Ultra certified also grants repair centers access to genuine Audi OEM parts, which are restricted to certified facilities. This ensures that repairs are performed with components that meet Audi’s exacting standards, maintaining the vehicle’s original performance and safety characteristics.
