Auto body repair standards are continuously evolving with the expansion of new technology inside vehicles. Today's guests have made huge leaps in labor segmentation to address the car standards of new vehicles. With high-tech cars, electric vehicles, aluminum panels, plastic repair, scanning, glasswork, and so much more, it's near impossible to have experts at everything. By breaking the old school thought of having one person do everything, our guests can do more with less, leading to huge benefits.
As a result, their efforts are not only leading to financial and operational benefits but they're also able to address one of the biggest challenges of all, the labor shortage.
