Paint Companies Respond to CIC Database Questions

As part of our ongoing efforts to represent the collision repair professional, the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) has been an active participant in the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) Database Committee (Database Committee) which is comprised of representatives from SCRS, Automotive Service Association (ASA) and The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers (AASP). Through the course of our work in this venue, there has been much effort devoted to the issue of the “bumper prompt” which appears in the CCC Pathways estimating platform.

 In the interest of transparency to the industry, and to provide the repairers who we represent with the documentation they need to continue to voice their opinions on this issue in an informed and well documented manner, the Database Committee has released a comprehensive outline of the issue including supporting documentation from the major paint manufacturers which we believe substantiates our position. Please find the outline from the Database Committee below, followed by links to the supporting documentation. It is our desire that sharing this information with the industry will result in it being put to good use, and we encourage the collision repair market to continue to make your voice heard if you have concerns over this issue.
