  • Growth

    I’ve been listening since the beginning and the knowledge and growth I’ve experienced are indescribable. Starting in a family body shop and seeing the daily struggles and listening to this podcast led me to starting a new venture that focuses on helping body shops handle their insurance claims. We need more shop focused services.

  • Pre & post scan on vehicles

  • Good content; Poor audio quality

    Having been in this industry for 42 years, I’ve seen it come from come-along pulls on a tree to laser measuring, dedicated repair areas, computer diagnostics, and ever changing OEM repair method requirements.

    With these changes we need the type of information and discussions heard in these podcasts. But the podcast should reflect the quality and precision now required in our industry.

    The host is always very tinny like he’s the guest calling in from a landline. Simply invest in a decent mic.... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Collision Repair-Specific Connection to the AI Assistant You Already Use
Q: What are some tips that would help me dip my toe in the water a little bit, start using this, especially with regard to Collision CoPilot?
He suggests asking for simple explanations, requesting sources and confidence checks, specifying the desired output format, assigning the AI a role, asking it to interview the user, and providing examples of good work.
A Collision Repair-Specific Connection to the AI Assistant You Already Use
Q: Where do I start if I get my estimate back from the insurer and they're trying to cut several lines on the repair?
Bainbridge recommends giving the assistant relevant details such as the vehicle and repair, using a business account to protect data, and attaching the estimate for a detailed audit. The tool can identify items to check, explain its reasoning, and link to supporting sources, but users should verify the results.
Should You Consider Fleet Repair Work?
Q: What are the main benefits of pursuing fleet work versus traditional retail work?
Fleet work offers consistent, high-volume traffic, easier parts management due to common vehicle types, and the potential to operate with less emotional customer pressure, though it may come with different expectations around price and speed.
From Guesswork to Proof: The Science Behind Collision Shop Compliance
Q: What are the main waste streams you test and how does that help shop owners save money?
They discuss testing dust, sanding residues, paint booth filters, and oil-water separators to determine hazardous vs solid waste, enabling proper disposal codes and potential cost savings.
ADAS Calibration Requirements: Why a Clean Scan Isn’t Enough
Q: Isaac, what would you say is why there are still so many misconceptions around ADAS calibrations?
Several factors contribute, including shops being busy, the challenge of finding qualified personnel, and underestimating the effort required to determine what needs calibration and when. A formal, documented process helps reduce ad hoc decisions and ensures everyone follows a repeatable method backed by OEM guidance.
