The blending of collision and mechanical services by body shops is becoming more common in the industry. The ADAS systems have pushed the collision industry to use more tools and learn to perform diagnostics on vehicle electronics. But for many collision shops, space along with money for equipment and training to do mechanical is not an option. Thus, partnering with mechanical shops becomes necessary to complete repairs. As far as repairing and accessing all these components, the OEs are changing how and who can access their vehicles. As far as what equipment to use, that requires research and an understanding of what service and what years of vehicles you're working on. Some people are putting repairers or shops who do not use OE tools and equipment in a negative light. But, with the automotive industry and companies that build equipment to service vehicles changing so fast and furious, I prefer to keep my mind open and just keep learning. Because, by the time you wake up tomorrow, something will have changed. |
