Artura Makes History as First Outsourced Estimating Company to Achieve BSI BS10125 Kitemark!

Artura has become the first outsourced estimating company to receive the prestigious Kitemark for Vehicle Damage Repair certification from BSI. This historic milestone marks a significant shift in the industry, demonstrating that excellence in vehicle damage assessment and estimating is just as crucial as the repair process itself.

The BSI Vehicle Damage Repair Kitemark, which aligns with BS 10125 specifications, has traditionally been associated with physical repair facilities. Our certification represents an industry first, acknowledging that accurate and professional estimating services are fundamental to maintaining the highest standards in vehicle repair processes.

The certification process involved a rigorous assessment of our estimating protocols, training programs, technical expertise, and adherence to industry best practices for vehicles up to 5 tonnes GVW and less than 40 years old. This achievement validates our innovative approach to professional estimating services.

It's not just a win for us - it sets a new bar for what's possible in vehicle damage estimating."
