entire repair process

This is interesting, Kristen Felder from Collision Hub interviews Sterling Autobody about mapping the flow process of repairing cars. I did not have anything like this in place when I worked in collision repair shops, but I do see the value. Knowing how much time each step should take would eliminate many problems from surfacing during the repair process. This may be a good video to show collision repair students to get them to thinking about the entire repair process. Perhaps this will help them to see the big picture a little better.

What do you think? Does your shop have something like this? If so, I would love to hear more about it.

Here is a quick update of what is going on in the BCC Collision Repair Program. The second-year students are currently learning how to properly mix, match, and apply paints. In addition to these tasks, the second-year students are also working on live work in the lab. What this means is that they are working on jobs from start to finish through the entire repair process.

The first-year students have recently completed their welding class and are now learning how to perform minor body repair using different repair methods. This includes metal repair, applying body fillers, block sanding, and the basics to understanding how to read a repair estimate.
