Nurse Molly MacKay of Boston Hope Field Hospital is Reunited With Her Car!

Good News!  Nurse Molly MacKay was reunited with her car today!  Molly, a nurse with Atrius Health and the Boston Hope field hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic had her vehicle and all her PPE stolen earlier this

week.  The team at Today’s Collision worked with our partners in the community to help get Molly back on the road.

Stephen’s Automotive Transport retrieved Molly’s Car.  Enterprise provided Molly with a rental vehicle, and North Shore Mazda donated the needed parts.

Thank you to all who helped, and to our technicians and team members for taking such good care of Molly’s car!  Returning her car today has given a boost to our entire team!  Cheers to Anna Meiler of WBZ News for helping us connect with Molly!

Finally, thank you to Molly.  It has been a pleasure getting to know you this week.  Boston is lucky to have you on the frontlines of this pandemic.  We are grateful to you and your colleagues for being there for us!

Today’s Collision Receives the ProFirst Designation from Honda and Acura

What does it mean to be a ProFirst Collision Shop?

As the car manufacturing industry becomes more reliant on technological advancements, Manufacturers are requiring an increase in specialized training for their certified collision repair facilities. Once repair shops complete the designated training, the Manufacturers can be confident that their vehicles are being repaired to the quality standards held by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer).

Recently, Today’s Collision received the I-CAR GOLD status designation. This was the first step in preparing for our Honda and Acura specific training. I-CAR (The Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair) is an international, not-for-profit organization dedicated to training those in the collision industry with the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve a complete and safe repair.

The Gold Class designation lets you know a collision repair shop has trained technicians who know how to repair your vehicle properly. Approximately 10% of collision repair shops currently complete the rigorous training requirements needed to meet the Gold Class standard. Businesses that earn Gold Class status are proud of their accomplishment and will typically display the Gold Class logo to help you identify them as highly trained repair facilities.

In addition to the I-CAR Gold Class designation, each ProFirst shop has received Honda-and Acura-specific training through I-CAR. The training provides Honda-specific information about vehicle construction materials and general repair considerations, specific repair procedures, manufacturer’s position statements relative to vehicle repair, hybrid electric and alternative fuel vehicle repair considerations, and more. Every ProFirst collision repair facility has the distinction of being an I-CAR Gold Class Professional.

We are extremely proud of our employees in completing this extensive training process, and are excited to continue to partner with the Honda and Acura dealerships in the area to bring the highest quality repairs to their customers.

Today’s Collision Kicks Off 25th Anniversary Year with RACE DAY 2014 at F1 Boston

Saturday, January 18, 2014: Today’s Collision team members from Chelsea, Malden, our newly opened Service Center in Malden and our Enterprise Associates left their friendships behind as they hit the Track 2 indoor course at F1 Boston Kart Racing in Braintree, MA. 

We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off our 25th Anniversary Year than to have an Employee Kart Racing Event.  Close to 40 drivers hit this 240 meter (787 feet) in length course, consisting of rolling curves and 4 hairpin turns.  The team attended a safety briefing with course instructions and suited up in driving gear and helmets.  We had a few penalties and one kart needing minor repairs.  (There were plenty of us on hand for that!)

After preliminary heats, and one consolation round, Kyle Bryant emerged as our 1st Place winner, Zach Sullivan, our 2nd Place winner, and Fredy-Cadavid-Vargas our 3rd Place winner.  Kyle’s average speed on his winning race was 42.87 MPH.  Congratulations Kyle!  After the exhausting 20-lap final race, we enjoyed a catered event in the Track 2 lounge.  Check out our event photos and race results.
