Ep #59: Can a DRP Fix Cars Correctly? with Jerald Stiele Body Bangin'
-
- Management
Jerald Stiele is an owner of 3 body shops in Minnesota - two Collision Center 1 shops & Hopkins Auto Body 1. They have 8 OEM Certifications/Recommendations and are a DRP for a couple of insurance companies AND he says it's possible to do so WHILE repairing the vehicle properly (according to OE recommendations).
He is frustrated by the generalization that shops can't be a DRP shop AND fix cars properly. How is that possible? Listen in as he shares how they handle their DRP relationships.
Jerald is a huge proponent for getting involved in your local trade schools and interning students of these schools to aid in bringing people to the collision industry in general and also to his shop!
The first step he recommends is to reach out to your local trade school and ask how you can help them. It's NOT that hard people! We all need to work together to start making our industry more appealing!
Listen to the podcast interview with a high school tech student that interned at Caliber Collision and see what he thought of all of it so you can do something similar in your shop:
