Jan. 26, 2015—The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) announced on Monday that Miracle System/Equipment Gateway has joined the organization as its newest corporate member.
Miracle System/Equipment Gateway imports products for collision repair from all around the world. Its main product, the Miracle System (a panel repair system from Star Co in Japan), provides mobile carts containing all the tools a technician may need to start and complete a panel repair, from roughing-out to finishing.
"Miracle System is a complete system of panel repair," Equipment Gateway CEO Matthew Bannister said in a release. "Meaning it is not just a slide hammer or lever bar, but a complete system, from welder to hammers to bridges. The concept is not to try and get the damage out in one go, but rather to strategically hold areas of the panel under tension while you work other areas out until the damage is removed. The result is a quality repair in an efficient time."
"This is not the same industry it was 20 years ago," said Oliver Woelfel, president of Advanced Collision Repair Solutions (ADVCRS), the distributor for Miracle System/Equipment Gateway in California. "Shops are dealing with some of the most high-tech pieces of engineering on the planet. Equipment Gateway and SCRS share a similar vision for raising the professional image of the collision repair industry. We want to help raise that image; I think the future of the industry depends on it."
