Automotive Technology Advances Could Drive Repair Costs Up

By auto news Nov 18, 2005

Today’s vehicles are engineered with the latest technology that makes driving safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable. Virtually every component of a modern vehicle has been carefully reengineered and manufactured after extensive research and development. But what happens when those marvels of technology crash?

According to a survey conducted by the Nebraska Autobody Association, remanufacturing modern collision-damaged vehicles requires highly skilled employees whose salaries are commensurate with other professional technicians. Investment in human resources will be reflected in employee retention, continuing certification, and compensation; costs that will ultimately be absorbed by the consumer in forms of higher premiums and repair costs.
