Collision Repair Advocates to Host Informational Meetings on Parts Procurement Programs

Attorney John Eaves Jr. and shop owner John Mosley touring the country Feb. 18-Feb. 28 to educate repairers on fighting mandated parts procurement programs.

John Eaves Jr., the lawyer who represents Mississippi collision repairers who filed an injunction against State Farm, and John E. Mosley, one of the plaintiffs and owner of Clinton Body Shop in Clinton, Miss., will be traveling around the U.S. to educate collision repairers about fighting against mandated parts procurement programs.

The injunction was filed in August of last year with the goal of prohibiting the insurer from forcing any Mississippi shop to use PartsTrader. By traveling the country, Eaves and Mosley hope to inform the industry of their efforts and answer any questions concerning parts procurement and recovering short pays.

Dates and locations for the open informational meetings include:

  • Tuesday, Feb. 18 – Monroe, La.
  • Wednesday, Feb. 19 – Palm Bay, Fla.
  • Thursday, Feb. 20 – Henderson, Texas
  • Saturday, Feb. 22 – Salt Lake City, Utah
