The Georgia Collision Industry Association recently completed their 7th Annual Labor & Materials Rate Survey for Metro Atlanta and Georgia. The results can be downloaded at the GCIA website.
The GCIA has conducted this survey for Seven (7) consecutive years. No other industry association in the U.S. has collected this amount of accurate data on collision materials and labor rates. This year, 305 shops participated across the state of Georgia and the results clearly demonstrate the actual prevailing rate in the Georgia marketplace.
Our goal in conducting this annual survey and sharing the results is twofold:
To utilize an impartial company to identify and communicate statistically valid figures representing the prevailing labor and material rate for collision repair services offered in Georgia, and
To communicate the results of the research to both collision repair facilities, insurance carriers and the appropriate parties involved in serving the consumer in the repair and claims handling process.
If you have any questions about the GCIA, or the results of this survey, we would encourage you to contact our Executive Director, Howard Batchelor, at [email protected].
