Surviving and Thriving During Challenging Times

June 8, 2020

COVID-19 has changed our world...literally. In just four months, we’ve seen businesses close, manufacturing plants halt production and the unemployment rate skyrocket. The collision repair market has been especially hard hit due to shelter-in-place mandates that have resulted in fewer cars on the road and far fewer accidents. According to a recent survey, 52% of U.S. repair facilities reported a decline in sales in March 2020 as compared to March 2019 and 43% have had to reduce their workforce. In Canada, the effects are similar.

Additionally, like many other manufacturers, some automakers temporarily closed or repurposed plants to produce ventilators and personal protective equipment. They also closed dealer showrooms to protect employees and the public. Amidst the COVID-19 response, these and other changes in market dynamics are giving rise to new emerging total loss trends.

As injured workers faced temporary office closures, postponed surgeries and cancelled therapy appointments, we knew that as a workers’ compensation provider network we had to be innovative and lead the charge for their care.
