Facing Increased Complexity and Liability
How to Protect Your Collision Repair Business!

The discussion on retreading is front and center.

When: October 30, 2018 – 12:30pm – 2:30pm
Where: Las Vegas Convention Center, Upper North Hall, N241
SCRS REPAIRER DRIVEN EDUCATION Session – RD9

The purpose of this presentation is to layout key concepts on how to protect your collision repair business with the increasing complexity and liability the industry faces to meet OEM vehicle repair standards, utilizing real examples where proper repairs saved liability (bodily injury and property damage) for the body shop. Then to add interests and perspective, we will showcase when the tire retreading industry (considered a higher liability hazard industry) went through an almost identical circumstance – highlighting parallel lessons of loss prevention and proper techniques that transfer the majority of the liability on retreading tire casings to the OEMs.

Next, our focus will be collision repair loss prevention which will include audience participation and the following:
    •    Cameras showing your work
    •    Critical safety components and structural work
    •    Certifications
    •    OEM costs
    •    Remembering who the customer is
    •    Assistance that an insurance professional should provide
    •    Not settling
    •    Merits adopting operation procedures with language similar if not identical to the SCRS position statement
    •    Technology challenge
    •    Talent acquisition/development and to grow margins

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

"How lovely to think
that no one need wait a moment,
we can start now,
start slowly changing the world!
How lovely that everyone,
great and small,
can make their contribution
toward introducing justice straightaway…
And you can always,
always give something,
even if it is only kindness!"
~ Anne Frank
