A
recent survey from the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) confirmed earlier surveys, and our personal experience as the Northwest's largest re-repair facility over the last 25 years, that 90% of repairs performed at insurance-preferred/contracted discount body shops are inferior and/or unsafe with many totaling out after the cost of re-repairing is factored in.
"90% of vehicles were totaled after having an independent post-repair inspection. About 50% of the vehicles had significant frame damage."
