The program mission is to identify and promote Kia dealerships that have the right processes, systems, and facilities necessary to sell Genuine Kia Parts to Kia Certified Collision Repair Centers. This is critical to help ensure the best collision repair businesses are able to identify Kia dealers engaged in wholesale operations.
