🚨 Are EV Manufacturers and Insurance Companies Squeezing Repairers? 🚨
Collision repair shops across the country are facing a growing challenge when it comes to repairing electric vehicles.
Many EV manufacturers are charging repair facilities full retail price for parts while eliminating the wholesale discounts that have traditionally helped shops operate efficiently. At the same time, insurance companies often refuse to reimburse the administrative costs associated with sourcing, managing, and documenting those parts.
🔧 The result?
• Higher operating costs for repairers
• Increased pressure on independent collision centers
• Challenges maintaining profitability despite major investments in training, certifications, and equipment
• Fewer resources available to support safe, manufacturer-compliant repairs
At MGA Collision Center, we're committed to performing repairs the right way—following OEM procedures, investing in advanced technology, and prioritizing vehicle safety. But the current EV repair landscape is creating unnecessary obstacles for repairers who are already carrying the burden of increasingly complex repairs.
Consumers deserve safe repairs, transparency, and the freedom to choose a qualified repair facility. Repairers deserve fair access to parts and reasonable compensation for the work required to properly repair today's vehicles.
