AMA Group has revealed that three of its repair centres – Shipstone Prestige and two Micra Collision Repair Centres – have been awarded Cupra Authorised Repairer status.
Cupra, one of Europe’s fastest-growing performance marques, has approved the sites following rigorous assessments of the facilities, equipment, training, and repair processes.
This achievement spans both the AMA Prestige and AMA Collision networks, reflecting AMA Group’s commitment to meeting evolving manufacturer requirements and maintaining the highest standards of vehicle repair.
“As new marques like Cupra enter the Australian market, our priority is ensuring our teams are equipped to repair these vehicles to manufacturer standards,” managing director of AMA Group, Ray Smith-Roberts, said.
“This certification demonstrates the capability of our network and our commitment to staying at the forefront of OEM training and technology.”
Adapting to a changing market
With the rapid evolution of vehicle technology, electrification, and safety systems, AMA Group continues to invest in training, tooling, and OEM partnerships to ensure its network remains aligned with the needs of today’s – and tomorrow’s – vehicle owners.
“The Australian carparc is changing fast, and we’re seeing new brands with advanced materials and repair methods,” Smith-Roberts said.
“Our focus is on adapting to that change – working closely with manufacturers like Cupra to ensure every repair protects vehicle integrity, safety, and design.”
Value to customers and insurers
AMA Group says that being recognised as a Cupra Authorised Repairer provides clear benefits for customers, insurers, and fleet partners. These include:
- Manufacturer-approved repairs using genuine Cupra parts and processes.
- Technicians trained and certified to work on the latest Cupra models and technology.
- Confidence in repair quality that maintains vehicle safety, performance, and warranty.
- Expanded access to OEM-certified repair capability across both prestige and mainstream networks.
According to AMA Group this milestone reinforces the Group’s long-term strategy to deliver trusted, high-quality repair outcomes and to build strong relationships with emerging and established OEMs alike.
