Repair Quality: How Technicians Set the Standard with Juan Carlos Gasga Perez

Repair Quality: How Technicians Set the Standard with Juan Carlos Gasga Perez

Q: Tell us who you are, your background, and how you got started in Collision Repair.

Juan explains he fell into the industry after high school, started as a car washer, worked up to a shop role, and gradually pursued hands-on repair work and leadership, eventually becoming a shop owner who also runs Auto Body Strong.

Getting ADAS Right From the Ground Up with ADAS Calibrations of Hawaii

Q: How should shop owners decide whether to build in-house, partner with a calibration center, or continue subletting?

Owners should assess their space, capability to maintain a dedicated calibration workflow, access to OEM software, and the level of staffing required; if they lack a proper facility or expertise, partnering with a dedicated calibration center or carefully vetting a sublet becomes a smarter choice to ensure precision and safety.

Getting ADAS Right From the Ground Up with ADAS Calibrations of Hawaii

Q: What is the business case for investing in an ADAS calibration business?

The investment is justified by a growing market with constant updates to targets, software, and equipment; calibrations are essential for safety and post-accident reliability, and the ongoing need to stay current with OEM procedures makes it a durable, profitable service when done right.

EV Fire Risk: What Shops Need to Know Now

Q: What are the most important practical steps a shop can take today to be EV ready?

Ensure all staff undergo safety awareness training, keep EVs away from buildings, use barriers to separate charging/parking areas, have batteries on wheels when removed, stock proper blanketing equipment, and incorporate thermal imaging to assess thermal runaway before entry.
