    The Collision Repair Step Too Many Shops Skip | Ep. 128

    What does it really take to repair cars the right way, protect your shop from liability, and actually get paid for the work you do? In this power-packed episode of Body Bangin’, I sat down with Alex Stapleton (North American Sales & Marketing Director at Spanesi) to dig into the real ROI of pre-measuring—and why it’s the missing link in too many shops’ processes. We pulled back the curtain on the truths (and myths) around pre-measuring, blueprinting, and how measurement can transform both shop profitability and customer trust. What you’ll learn in this episode: ⚡ Why skipping pre-measurement is costing shops more than they realize  ⚡ How to turn measuring into a billable, documented operation (and add hours to every RO) ⚡ The fastest way to make pre-measurement part of your SOPs without slowing production ⚡ How to use measuring as a marketing tool to show customers you repair cars the right way ⚡ Why training, consistency, and leadership—not just buying equipment—separate successful shops from the rest If you’ve ever wondered whether pre-measurement is “worth the time,” or how to make it a profit driver instead of a headache, this conversation is your playbook. 🎤 Don’t miss this episode with one of the industry’s straightest shooters—Alex Stapleton of Spanesi. 🔔 Subscribe now and never miss an episode that challenges the status quo and helps you grow for real. 📧 Connect with Alex Stapleton:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-stapleton-/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alex.stapleton.5 Support the show For more info on Micki's Marketing Services to help you grow your shop's revenue click here: https://collisioncentermarketing.com Email Micki directly at micki@mickiwoodsmarketing.com Join the Body Bangin' Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/989546031854134

    How Two Shop Owners Changed Collision Repair | Ep #123

    In this powerful episode, Micki Woods is joined by Jeff Butler and Justin Lewis—two shop owners who fought for years to protect collision shops and consumers alike, and won. They helped pass a groundbreaking Right to Appraisal (RTA) bill in Washington, and they’re here to share what every shop owner needs to know about it—and how to take action in your own state. Here’s what you’ll learn: ✅ What RTA Actually Is: Why it matters, how it works, and why most shops are still misunderstanding it. ✅ Why WA Had to Step Up: How insurers were writing RTA out of policies—and how Jeff and Justin fought to make it mandatory. ✅ “Competent Appraiser” Defined: What that term really means (and why a boat damage appraiser has no business near a Tesla claim). ✅ What Shops Can Do Now: Whether you’re in WA or not, here’s how to educate customers, document better, and fight smarter—not harder. If you’ve ever been short-paid, ignored by insurance, or frustrated with the lack of leverage, this episode is a must-listen. 🔔 Subscribe now on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts so you don’t miss what’s next. 👇 RESOURCES & LINKS: 🎧 Subscribe to Body Bangin’ on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/491aIUWJ72fFpVARROeRcA ▶️ Watch more Body Bangin’ episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCwbN0Tv3xo9RFBDNN2G5SjQ  📧 Connect with Jeff Butler & Justin Lewis:  Jeff Butler: Jeff@hauryscollision.com Justin Lewis: justin@accurateab.com 🔗 Follow Micki on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/micki-woods-36374121 🚀 Need help growing your shop with marketing that actually drives leads?
