Crash Champions OEM-Certified Repair
Ferrari-Certified Collision Repair
Your Ferrari belongs with a shop the factory has approved, and select Crash Champions locations hold Ferrari’s collision repair certification. At those locations, technicians trained on Ferrari construction repair the 296, 849 Testarossa, Amalfi, 12Cilindri, and Purosangue by Ferrari’s own documented methods, and our written lifetime guarantee covers the work for as long as you own the car.
What Ferrari Certified Means
Ferrari keeps its approved collision network small, and it approves facilities one at a time. To qualify, a shop sends its technicians through Ferrari’s training on body construction and refinishing, installs the diagnostic tools and repair equipment Ferrari specifies, and opens its facility to inspection. Keeping the approval means keeping all of that current as new models arrive.
For you, the practical result is a repair that follows the factory’s thinking instead of improvisation. Ferrari documents how each chassis is measured, where a damaged section may be cut, how aluminum is joined, and which steps come before a car is returned to its owner. A certified shop works from that information on every Ferrari it accepts.
Ferrari Repairs We Handle
Ferrari builds its series-production road cars around aluminum. The structures use high-strength alloys in cast, extruded, and sheet form, joined by a mix of welding, bonding, and mechanical fasteners. Aluminum gives up strength when overheated and can corrode when steel particles contaminate it, so aluminum work happens in a separated area with dedicated equipment. Damaged sections are measured against Ferrari’s dimensional data, then straightened or replaced at the joints the factory defines. Our aluminum repair page explains why the metal needs that care.
Outside limited-series hypercars like the F80, which sits on a carbon fiber tub, carbon shows up in specific places rather than at the core of the structure. The Purosangue wears a single-piece carbon fiber roof, and many models carry carbon in aerodynamic pieces, trim, and lightweight options. Each carbon component is inspected for cracking and layer separation that the paint can hide, and the repair decision follows Ferrari’s guidance for that component.
Then come the hybrids. The 296 pairs a V6 with an electric motor and a 7.45 kWh battery under the floor. The 849 Testarossa, which follows the SF90 Stradale, runs a twin-turbo V8 with 3 electric motors. Before teardown, our technicians isolate the high-voltage system following Ferrari’s steps and confirm it is safe to work around. After the repair, the system is checked again before the car leaves.
Ferrari’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), the safety technology behind features like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind spot detection, and lane departure warning, differ by model and by how a car was ordered. When a bumper, mirror, or windshield comes off, we scan the car afterward and complete the ADAS calibration Ferrari calls for. Ferrari colors are refinished from the car’s factory paint code, including the multi-coat reds the brand is known for.
Why Manufacturer Certification Matters for Ferrari Owners
A Ferrari is engineered to tight tolerances. Suspension geometry, aerodynamic balance, and the stiffness of the aluminum chassis all depend on mounting points sitting exactly where the design puts them. Restoring those points by Ferrari’s procedures is what protects the steering feel and balance Ferrari engineered into the car.
The paper trail matters too. Many Ferrari buyers ask for a car’s full service and repair history before they make an offer, and a documented repair at a factory-approved facility answers the hard questions about structure and paint. Our OEM-certified repair hub shows how this program compares with the other manufacturers we work with.
Certification is location-specific

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Crash Champions locations are Ferrari certified?
Select Crash Champions locations hold Ferrari’s collision repair certification. Ferrari approves each facility separately, so the certified locations view shows which shops hold it today.
Why does Ferrari aluminum need different repair equipment?
Aluminum loses strength if it is overheated and can corrode if it picks up steel particles. Ferrari repairs use dedicated aluminum tools in a separated work area, along with the joining methods Ferrari specifies.
Is a Ferrari 296 or 849 Testarossa hybrid safe to repair after a crash?
Yes, when the high-voltage system is handled correctly. Both cars carry a 7.45 kWh battery, so the system is shut down and isolated by Ferrari’s steps before anyone cuts, pulls, or welds near it, and it is tested again once the repair is done.
Can Ferrari carbon fiber components be repaired or do they need replacing?
It depends on the component and the damage. Carbon can crack or separate between layers without much showing on the surface, so each piece is inspected and the decision follows Ferrari’s guidance.
How is Ferrari paint matched after collision repair?
Refinishing starts from the factory paint code and follows Ferrari’s process for that color, which matters most on multi-coat finishes where a mismatch is easy to spot.
