The Aftermarket Collision Replacement Parts Considerations course was released March 2, 2021, and is designed to educate the industry on the evolution of the aftermarket collision replacement part industry.

The course will highlight topics on aftermarket collision replacement part manufacturing, material testing, certifications, vehicle test fit procedures, and crash test performance.

All course registrants will experience a broader understanding of the aftermarket collision replacement parts industry and the benefits provided to collision repairers, insurance carriers, and vehicle owners.
