Automobile Dealership Body Shop

  Many automobile dealers with body shops have something to smile about in 2010. Why you might ask?  Simple, when operated correctly greater fixed coverage, and in a time of uncertain vehicle sales that is something to smile about.  For dealer's that want back into the retail crash market be sure to do your homework, without question many things must be considered, each market is different with many issues requiring special considerations. Today the body business does require a much higher capital investment than in the past; this is a great thing if you consider the independent shops are struggling to keep pace with technology, quality personnel, training and the same higher capital investment requirements. Unlike the mechanical shop dealing with the high quality vehicle of today cutting into the repair volume in many markets, the crash ratio has not changed much; over the last 5 years body shop volume has been very stable.

The high cost of repair with reduced used vehicle values has impacted the number of totals, up slightly in the last few years. With that said, a vehicle towed to your dealership, then totaled by the cost of repair rewards your dealership, first shot at a customer with cash in hand who now needs a new or used vehicle, a great problem for any dealer to have in 2010!
