Numbers: The Value of 3-D Measuring Systems

Jan. 22, 2020
According to findings from the 2019 FenderBender Industry Survey, shops that possess 3-D measuring systems tend to have significantly more productive technicians than those that don’t have that innovative machinery.

The 2019 FenderBender Industry Survey indicates that 64 percent of responding body shops possess a 3-D measuring system with a current data subscription covering the last 10 model years. And, those shops that have a 3-D measuring system on their shop floor not only have a higher sales volume than competitors that don’t, but they also tend to have better technician productivity and better supplement ratios, too. Here’s a closer look at how shops with 3-D measuring at their disposal size up.
