I-CAR will introduce a new course May 18 that provides training on using recycled parts during the collision repair process.
Recycled Parts for Collision Repair (RCY01) is a four-hour, live training course that offers students information on how automotive parts recycling can reduce total losses, improve cycle time, and potentially result in a less-intrusive repair. Course topics also include the processes of a typical recycled parts facility as well as procedures for inspecting recycled parts and preparing them for installation.
While I-CAR does not take a position on the use of recycled parts (with the exception of not recommending the use of recycled airbags or passive restraint systems), the training organization understands there are different considerations that need to take place if the decision is made to do so.
"This program is not about making the business decision around whether or not to use recycled parts, but rather one that offers solid guidelines if the decision to use has been made," said Jeff Peevy, I-CAR Director of Field Operations. "The industry has indicated this class will be very popular."
Recycled Parts for Collision Repair provides a comprehensive overview of several aspects of the automotive recycling industry to facility managers, technicians, and insurance company personnel.
