Faulkner – A Ciocca Collision Center
Eric Heigold, General Manager
“With AkzoNobel, there are no issues with anything in the refinish department of my collision center. With other paint manufacturers, once you buy their paint, you don’t see them. You don’t know who they are; you don’t know their names. The service and respect you get from AkzoNobel is like a team, and it’s a great thing. Great company.”

CSN Cochrane and Crowfoot Image
Brady Chattington
“The vibrancy and the depth that, especially the clearcoat gives to the basecoat, I find is far superior to anything I’ve ever seen on any finish of a vehicle. That’s what really attracts me to it and why I keep supporting the Sikkens line.”

Birchwood Collision – Winnipeg
Joel McPhail
“Sometimes we get very narrowly focused on the things that we’re doing, and so having some colleagues and like-minded operators share their perspective from an outsider’s view, it can really open up your lense. I’m very fortunate to be a part of the Acoat Selected group -- to have those insights and build those relationships – which has really allowed me to take my business to the next level."

AutoMind Collision Group
Patrick Graham
"The technical support we receive from AkzoNobel is really what generates our business. Weekly, we look forward to our technical support coming in because he brings that value, so we don’t need a salesperson to come in and sell us a product. He’s going to show us the product; he’s going to show us how to implement it on a daily basis."

Terry Cullen Chevrolet
Terry Cullen and Bart Benedetti
“Several years ago, we were moving from a competitive waterborne refinish system. We interviewed many paint companies. Sikkens was the clear winner. But the product is just the beginning. What continues to blow our minds to this day is the business and technical support AkzoNobel provides to its Sikkens customers. They meet with us regularly to help us develop a blueprint for success for our entire body shop; and just as importantly, they hold us accountable for keeping the timelines we commit to. They’re almost like a board of directors for us. The level of professional consulting that we received from AkzoNobel took us from zero to hero in one year, and it cost us nothing. We’re profitable, we’re growing and we’re smiling.”

“We believe that Sikkens helps us be competitive because they’re the best color match out there. We’ve used other paint manufacturers before, but nothing comes close.”

“We’ve been using Sikkens products for a total of 38 years. I feel that Sikkens is by far the best automotive paint system available to us in our market. Being a member of the AkzoNobel Acoat Selected program and having a business [services] manager has been essential to our success.”

Classic Chevrolet
Kevin Henry, Body Shop Director
“The difference with AkzoNobel is the people. When I was hired into this shop several years ago, every paint rep under the sun came and threw everything at us. The AkzoNobel rep stood out because he really listened to me. He has a thoughtful, intelligent approach that resonates with me. And my Acoat Selected services consultant is a huge asset to our shop. He’s an instrumental sounding board for me. The Sikkens product? It speaks for itself.”
