Next-Level Blueprinting
Steve Morris, the director of operations for Pride Collision Centers, a seven-location MSO in Southern California, discussed common roadblocks that shop staffs encounter with regard to blueprinting. Then, the venerable collision repairer explained how they can avoid such inefficiencies and surge past them, to both improve cycle time and, ideally, CSI scores.
Additionally, Morris explained how collision repair facilities can bolster their blueprinting procedures with a simple tweak or two.
