SCRS Education Committee Member Gary Wano will provide an informative report on information gathered from the BMW National Aftersales Conference. The presentation will include an update on BMW’s plans relative to the Certified Collision Repair Center program, insurer relationships, and insight into discussion surrounding repairability of the carbon fiber chassis, aluminum frame rails and thermo plastic outer panels on the i3 and i8 electric vehicles that will be entering the marketplace soon.
In January, Toby Chess and Committee Chairman Kye Yeung presented on behalf of the Committee, focusing on new products that can aid in collision repairers in producing great repairs on modern cars.
