DEG Passes 10K Inquiries

Nov. 18, 2016

Nov. 18, 2016—The Database Enhancement Gateway (DEG) recently received its 10,000th inquiry, nearly nine years after the launch of www.degweb.org. The DEG was designed to help improve the information in collision repair estimates via feedback from the industry regarding vehicle-specific errors.

The free service was initially founded by the Automotive Service Association (ASA), Alliance of Automotive Service Providers (AASP) and the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS), and is managed by a joint operating committee (JOC) of association representatives.

“We can’t be more pleased with what the DEG has accomplished since its creation,” said JOC member Rick Starbard.
