Collision Repair Shops

Collision Repair Businesses Face Major Changes

The auto collision repair industry has massively shifted toward consolidation driven by national, enterprise-level MSOs backed by venture capital. The status quo is, increasingly, a nonviable option. For many businesses, the changes across the industry necessitate action.

Do you worry about:

• A disadvantage against insurer-MSO strategic performance-based DRP contracts
• Insurers growing preference for the single point of contact embodied in national MSOs
• The increasing complexity in insurance company DRP participation requirements
• Competing against the capital backing that empowers national MSOs
