Each year the HD Repair Forum recognizes a person or people who have made a positive impact on the heavy-duty and medium-duty collision repair industry, From the very beginning, the HD Repair Forum has advocated for education and training, and has sought out companies with tools, equipment and services specific to this market.

For 2025 we would like to recognize the 3M team for the development of heavy-duty training, made possible at the 3M Skills Development Center in Minnesota. This facility focuses not on training with 3M products, but on exposing technicians to proper repair processes through hands-on training with tools from across the industry.

We appreciate your endless efforts and endurance in making this available! Thank you and congratulations!

Our Story

The HD Repair Forum is the heavy-duty collision repair industry's source for focused information on the collision repair needs of heavy-duty vehicles, primarily in class 5, 6, 7, and 8, including semis, buses, and RVs.

In April 2018 the inaugural HD Repair Forum was held in Ft. Worth, TX. Those in attendance enjoyed the company of many of the industry's most influential stakeholders. Together they sat in on high-level discussions that evaluated various topics that are impacting repairs and repairers of today. Information that was shared at this year's forum highlighted estimating, new vehicle technology, insurance relations, pre- & post- repair scanning, parts sourcing and so much more.

Our aim is to provide the heavy-duty repair industry with relevant information on a platform they can trust. We hope everyone involved in the heavy-duty collision repair industry will join this community, so that together we can move towards more efficient and safer repairs.
