The quarterly gathering of collision repair professionals generated spirited discussions of key issues including data and cybersecurity, shop culture, repairer development, shop licensing, and parts fulfillment.
Before Hunter’s Ultimate ADAS® arrived at Schaefer Autobody, setting up for calibrations could take anywhere from 20 minutes to more than an hour. Now it’s 15 minutes or less in most cases, and the techs love the speed, simplicity and mobility. Says lead mechanic Ryan McNamara, “It’s going to do nothing but improve your efficiency and make your job easier.”
The body shop earned the honor due to its exceptional customer service that inspired customers to leave more than 340 glowing customer reviews. It averages a 4.9-star rating on Google Business Profiles.
