theCCRE was launched by independent repair facility owners that recognized the increasing control being exerted by insurers upon the collision repair industry .
Without the formation of such an organization there is no telling where insurers would be today with regards to the usage of inferior, imitation parts and other practices that harm the independent repair facility. These actions deprive the shops of necessary profits to compensate technician's properly and perfect appropriate repairs on consumers vehicles.
In 2004. it was agreed, by the governing board, to include technicians and post repair inspectors in our coalition. The board felt in order to have a true coalition of people from within the collision repair industry, it would be necessary to include other key people rather than just shop owners.
The CCRE now consists of Shop Owners, Technicians, Post Repair Inspectors and managers and employees that want to see a positive change in this industry. These people still maintain that the integrity of the collision repair industry should be comprised of only those who are actively involved in the repair of collision damaged vehicles.
