Let's think about this for a minute. If you're needing surgery performed, are you going to look for the most qualified and accredited doctor; Or one that holds no credentials? I think that most of us would prefer the best doctor that we can find for a major surgery. Why then, would you not look for the best Collision Shop to repair your vehicle? Maybe we should, as cars kill a lot more people then doctors do.

With that said, I think we must be seen as the true high-tech professionals that we are and paid accordingly. It takes a highly trained technician with many different skills and the abilities to stay up with the past paced changes in the industry.

So I believe that pride, quality workmanship, skills, proper training and accreditation all have their place in this industry.
