Supply chain challenges involving auto parts, semi-conductor components, and paint & materials continue to be a factor that collision center managers must manage. After overcoming similar challenges during Covid 19 interruptions, supply chains largely recovered until recent tariff-related disruptions. Some of this is simply due to uncertainty while manufacturers and suppliers wait to see what the future landscape will include. Repair parts and their components come from all around the globe for both domestic and import brands. Paint & materials use raw materials from foreign sources regardless of where manufacturing is performed. In this edition of Impact Collision Solutions, we will explore how the supply chain affects collision centers and what managers can to mitigate these impacts.
