Greetings kind folk of the autopia community.
Are there any members here who are (or have been) members of this organization? If so how did you benefit by being a member of the IDA.
Thank You!

You probably should go on the AG site and ask Mr. Phillips. He’s in with them.
I`ve always said that if and when the day comes a client asks me if I`m IDA certified is the day I`ll consider looking into IDA certification.

IDA is not about how much more money can be made this month. IDA is not about who has the biggest ego.
IDA is a world wide organization creating a positive image in the public`s mind--that takes time-years of dedication of thousands and big funding. It works with it`s members,developing and conducting training courses, business classes, etc, just the same as ASE, I-CAR, International Carwash Assoc.
In 1989, a large group of us attempted to start such, the PDA, but due to lack of funds, we failed , then there were two more well intended additional startups, which failed quickly---main reason, people joined for selfish,personal reasons rather than the "long term goals" required to build and gain public acceptance of standards and ethics.IDA has survived and grown to having chapters around the world, has been acknowledged by other established automotive service organizations. If you would only join for immediate personal gain, are not willing to donate time and efforts to continue the huge growth of IDA, ---it is not for you!

All is covered by the membership committee to vetted applications.

Someone seems pretty offended and serious about any perceived disrespect to the IDA. Geesh

That is certainly not what I said, and if you sir were that concerned about the quality of your membership, you would’ve pm’d me. But by the tone of your responses , you must not be that confident in your certification process.I have seen the written test and was not impressed. I have several shops in my area that are supposedly ida certified shops using your logo. Again we have repaired the work. Maybe my standards are a little above just car cleaning?

I’m chiming in. I just became Skills Validated last month. I love the idea of the IDA, but the certification process is too easy. It needs to be more comprehensive to actually get your SV. I hope that changes going forward. I believe that Mike Phillips does not certify anyone that has no actual class time.
