MSCRA Blog
Educational articles and industry news for collision repair professionals and vehicle owners in Utah and Colorado.
ADAS calibration is now required on more than one in four collision repairs. EV repair costs run 46.9% higher than comparable ICE vehicle repairs. The industry faces a projected shortage of 100,000 technicians over the next five years. These are not trends that shops and consumers can afford to ignore.
MSCRA publishes content specifically for the two audiences most affected: vehicle owners who need to understand their rights, and shop owners and technicians who need to stay current on the technical, business, and regulatory issues shaping their market.
