Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes Canada has been designated as the Preferred Automotive Finishes Partner for Mercedes-Benz Certified Collision Repair Centres across Canada. 

The national partnership aligns Sherwin-Williams’ refinish technology, technical training, and field support with Mercedes-Benz original equipment manufacturer (OEM) repair standards.

Mercedes-Benz Certified Collision Repair Centres must restore damaged vehicles to factory specifications regarding structural safety, sensor integration, and paint finish quality. Under the preferred partner program, Sherwin-Williams will supply OEM-approved coatings systems, technical application training, and its Collision Core™ digital business management tools to optimize shop workflow, color matching, and inventory control. The collaboration mirrors the technical partnership between Sherwin-Williams and the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team.

“Mercedes-Benz sets some of the most rigorous repair standards in the industry, and Sherwin-Williams supports Mercedes-Benz Certified Collision Centres in meeting those expectations consistently, said Tim Gallant, Senior Sales Manager at Sherwin-Williams Canada. Through approved refinishing systems, training and technical expertise, we help reinforce the quality, precision and process discipline required to uphold Mercedes-Benz OEM repair standards.”

“Our Certified Collision Repair Centres rely on approved partners and processes to ensure our owners receive their vehicles restored to the quality, safety and finish they expect,” added Edwin Marasigan, Collision Program Manager at Mercedes-Benz Canada.

For Canadian collision repair operators, claims managers, and dealer body shops, the designation highlights how OEM certification programs continue to standardize refinish processes and digital shop management tools across certified repair networks.
