Nagy’s Pro Touch Becomes New Member of International Detailing Association

The IDA's Certified Dealer Program presents a unique professional development opportunity for Nagy’s employees who want to learn detailing from industry-leading specialists.

Nagy’s Pro Touch announced that it has become a new member of the International Detailing Association (IDA). IDA not only provides groundbreaking articles on changes to the industry, best practices and business tips, but the organization also offers training, educational and professional certification programs.

In particular, the Certified Dealer Program presents a unique professional development opportunity for Nagy’s employees who want to learn detailing from industry-leading specialists. This multi-phase program evaluates and develops a detailer’s technical knowledge and proficiency. Successful completion of the first phase, consisting of 10 written exams, will grant the detailer the title of IDA Certified Detailer (IDA-CD). Successful completion of a higher-level second phase, consisting of hands-on assessments, will award the detailer a title of IDA Certified Detailer, Skills Validated (IDA-CD, SV).

Furthermore, this new membership grants Nagy’s Pro Touch employees the chance to represent and promote Nagy’s Collision Centers at major industry trade shows and other IDA events.

“Nagy’s has focused on providing quality service since 1973, continually seeking opportunities to develop the skills of our staff and our reputation in the industry,” said Ron Nagy president of Nagy’s Collision Centers. “By joining the Internal Detailing Association, we now have access to resources, information and an international network that would otherwise be unattainable.”

Exit Strategies: Personal Vision & Financial Planning

The most critical first step in an exit or transition plan is to develop a financial plan and personal vision of what your life will look like post-business.

Jerry was a 63-year-old auto body shop owner who contacted me regarding putting together an exit strategy. Like most shop owners, he had become tired of the day-to-day grind of dealing with the back-and-forth fights with the insurance carriers, yet he still loved the idea of being a part of a business he built from the ground up. Ideally, he would have liked his production manager, Evan, to become his heir apparent, yet he had no idea if Evan was interested in owning the shop or if he was even capable of doing so. His shop was a prime candidate for a consolidator, and he had received an offer from one, yet he cared about his employees and wanted to make sure they were taken care of. Also, he was unsure what he would do with himself if he did not have a place to go. He did not know where to turn.
