Wishing everyone a very healthy, safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
The emergence of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) has been a boon to automotive consumers. Among other benefits, ADAS is credited with a 1.2% drop in vehicle fatalities last year, along with significantly reduced injuries. What’s more, consumer comfort with these technologies is increasing as OEMs build ADAS into an expanding number of vehicle platforms. The result is a growing aftermarket customer base that expects specialty-equipment products and modifications to integrate seamlessly with their high-tech factory ADAS packages. But is the industry up to the task?

The Future of ADAS and Proper Vehicle Calibration: “There are nearly 2,500 unique static calibration procedures, many are changing mid-model year and back dating to prior years,” said DeBoer. “With this in mind you have to ask, are you sure you have the right procedure?”
All of your vehicle's safety features are part of the ADAS technologies that require additional steps during the collision repair process. Be sure your body shop knows the proper steps to repair these safety features so they can continue to protect you and your passengers.

Automakers have promised for years that they would soon unleash a flood of battery-electric vehicles. That’s happening now, though it’s still a steady flow more than a gush of new models. EVs are moving from novelty status to mainstream in the 2021 model year as more manufacturers jump into territory that has been dominated by Tesla, and they include the types of vehicles that Americans crave: SUVs and pickup trucks. Rest assured that more are on the way. This will likely change some collision repair methods.

When OEM insurance hits the market, auto insurers are left to pick up the tab:
The latest announcement of Common Motors’ (GM) return to auto insurance coverage with the launch of its usage-based insurance coverage program, OnStar Insurance (delivered with American Household Insurance coverage), didn’t come as a shock in most circles. Again in 2007, GM discontinued a enterprise into auto insurance coverage because of the monetary local weather — the Nice Recession — and doubts of whether or not auto insurance coverage prospects would truly buy protection from unique gear producers (OEMs).

A ValuePenguin “State of Auto Insurance in 2021” report announced last week estimated that auto insurance rates this year represent a 1.7 percent decline — the first decrease in more than a decade.
“Rates Will Rebound in 2022 and Here’s Why: As Americans get back to normal, auto insurance rates will rise again,” ValuePenguin wrote. “The increase in distracted driving, and more expensive claims from smart technology in vehicles will continue to drive rate increases.” (Emphasis ValuePenguin’s.)

Hybrid And Electric Vehicle Precautions: 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid:
"There are many things to keep in mind while inspecting and repairing vehicles equipped with a high-voltage (HV) system, as opposed to a vehicle with a 12 V battery system and a gasoline engine. This is why it is important to follow the procedure on the OEM service site."
This is why you need to be sure your auto repair shop always follows the OEM procedure for disabling an HV system to help ensure a complete, safe, and quality repair.

GM ‘Certainty Starts Here’ campaign promotes OEM collision parts, certified shops: “If it’s your GM vehicle that took it on the chin, the journey onward starts with the genuine GM parts and the ACDelco GM original equipment you’re entitled to request,” the narrator of the collision video tells consumers.
He said using such parts means “you’re choosing to keep your GM a GM” with parts which meet the OEM’s “safety performance requirements.”

A customer called me from Southern Pines. A reckless driver insured by Liberty Mutual ran off the road and slammed into multiple cars at his place of work, including his 2019 Camaro S52. Repair cost to his car were $15,080.24. He asked for diminished value, and was told by the insurance company there was no diminished value. He hired me and they hired an appraiser. Their independent appraiser sent me his ridiculous paperwork saying the loss of value was only $1570.00. After he got my paperwork and rather spirited discussion we agreed the vehicle owner was entitled to $5800.00 for the diminished value to his car. NEVER TRUST THE OPINION OF SOMEONE WHO OWES YOU MONEY!

BMW last week described issues which could arise if auto body shops substituted incorrect parts on its vehicles.
The wrong windshield could throw off advanced driver assistance systems by distorting a camera’s view of the road, BMW North America collision program manager Jonathan Inzano warned a Feb. 11 VeriFacts Guild 21 call.
He called it “really crucial” to use the glass designed for the vehicle.

Following the manufacturer repair guidelines (OEM Procedures) is becoming more and more accepted as the "must-do" when performing repairs on your vehicle. CCC is a widely used repair management tool that is now recommending a body shop review and confirm OEM repair procedures while drafting an estimate. In addition, some new wording added to the system now is under the assumption that the shop will follow OEM procedures. Previously, CCC had only described an assumption that the shop was qualified “to complete any given repair.
This should make it clear that its important to use a shop that you know will repair your vehicle according to the manufacturers standards, because not every shop will.
