When you bring your Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, or Cadillac to Curry Auto Center, you're choosing a team of technicians who have invested hundreds of hours developing their skills through General Motors' factory training program. The certifications listed below are documented in the 2026 Technician Certification Report.
Our technicians don't simply repair vehicles-they continually complete manufacturer training designed specifically for today's GM vehicles, including gasoline engines, diesel engines, automatic and manual transmissions, electrical systems, hybrid and electric vehicles, brakes, steering and suspension, heating and air conditioning, and advanced vehicle diagnostics.
Whether your vehicle needs routine maintenance, a complex electrical diagnosis, software programming, or major engine repairs, you can have confidence knowing your vehicle is being serviced by factory-trained professionals.
What Does GM Factory Certification Mean?
GM factory certification is a manufacturer-developed training program designed specifically for Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles.
Unlike general automotive training, GM certifications focus on the exact engineering, diagnostic procedures, repair methods, software, and technology used in GM vehicles.
Technicians progress through multiple levels of certification as they gain experience and complete increasingly advanced classroom instruction, online coursework, and hands-on technical training.
At Curry Auto Center, our technicians maintain certifications across virtually every major automotive system.
Understanding Silver & Gold GM Certifications
GM technicians earn certifications by completing manufacturer training and demonstrating their knowledge through testing and practical instruction.
Silver Certified Technician
Silver Certification demonstrates that a technician has completed GM's required training and is fully qualified to diagnose, maintain, and repair the vehicle systems covered by that certification.
A Silver Certified technician has the skills and knowledge necessary to professionally service your GM vehicle.
Gold Certified Technician
Gold Certification represents an even higher level of technical achievement.
To become Gold Certified, a technician must first achieve Silver Certification and then successfully complete additional advanced GM hands-on training, manufacturer testing, and rigorous technical coursework.
Gold Certified technicians have demonstrated advanced knowledge of diagnosis and repair procedures and continue to stay current as GM introduces new vehicle technology.

Why Factory Training Matters
Today's vehicles contain sophisticated electronics, onboard computers, advanced safety systems, high-speed communication networks, and increasingly complex powertrains.
Repairing these systems requires far more than mechanical experience.
Factory-trained technicians receive ongoing education whenever General Motors introduces:
New vehicle platforms
Updated engines
New transmission designs
Electric vehicle technology
Hybrid systems
Software updates
Advanced driver assistance systems
New repair procedures
That means our technicians continue learning throughout their careers-not just when they first enter the profession.
Factory Training + ASE Certification
At Curry Auto Center, our technicians combine two important forms of professional development.
ASE Certification
ASE certifications are nationally recognized credentials that validate a technician's knowledge across major automotive repair disciplines.
GM Factory Training
GM factory certifications build upon that foundation with manufacturer-specific education focused exclusively on Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles.
Together, these qualifications provide the confidence that your vehicle is being serviced by technicians who understand both general automotive repair principles and the unique engineering behind GM vehicles.
