It wasn’t long ago that the only choice a repair technician had to replace a quarter panel, roof or door skin was to cut it off and weld it back on.
Fighting Fraud
Bring up the subject of fraud and most people within hearing distance will turn tail and run the other direction.
Think Safety
What do you think of when someone says “shop safety”? The word safety means the condition of being safe from hurt, injury or loss – no matter where you are.
Breaking the Bottleneck
The collision industry has gone through a gamut of changes in
the last 20 years – most of them due to the constantly changing
automobile industry and the technology required to repair those
vehicles to preaccident condition. Others have been due to EPA
guidelines and the concern for the environment. Along with these
changes, new equipment, materials and procedures have been introduced.
