In the past few weeks and months I have been seeing a slowdown in the amount of new information related to Next Accident Ready repair. At the same time there does seems to be a lot supporting or collaborating the information and concepts that were being discussed last year. This tells me that those who were working actively with the principles of Next accident Readiness last year will be ahead of the curve as it becomes fully understood and accepted by all parties.<\/p>\n

I do get information from sources other the John Huetter at RDN, but his daily articles are my first look every day. Today, March 17, he has written a very interesting piece about OEM parts and a major Australian insurance group.<\/p>\n

FCAI praises ‘strong signal’ on OEM parts from major Australian insurer IAG<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/iframe><\/div>\nThe one sentence synopsis is that OEM parts seem to be good for everyone involved.<\/p>\nIn the something new department, there was a short quote attributed to the insurer IAG that included \u2019\u2026.repairers will benefit from strong technical support.\u2019<\/p>\nThis is an example of what seems like an incidental comment causing a flash of understanding.\u00a0 Cars are getting far more complex and we have to check repair procedures on each repair, but if there is some ambiguity or uncertainty who do we call?<\/p>\nIf you have bought the part on the aftermarket good luck with any call. If you have bought all the aftermarket parts you could and only one or two technical parts from the OEM that you will maybe get a response from the OEM. If you consistently buy all, or at least most, parts from that OEM they will take your call and offer support.<\/p>\nThe car will be repaired and calibrated properly, your customer will be happier and safer and, while maybe not right away, in the longer term the insurer will be happier was well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the past few weeks and months I have been seeing a slowdown in the amount of new information related to Next Accident Ready repair.
