Ask the Experts: Boost Profitability by Capturing Body Repair Materials Billables

Quality body repairs on medium- and heavy-duty trucks depend on the use of specialized adhesives, sealers, and other allied materials. Unfortunately, many shops face challenges in recovering the cost of body repair materials, but it doesn’t have to be a struggle. By properly documenting these materials, shops can clearly communicate their value to customers and insurers, ensuring payment and increasing revenue.

Our guide, Boost Profitability by Capturing Body Repair Materials Billables, provides insights into tracking body repair material usage, communicating costs, and maximizing revenue from truck repair materials.

In it, you’ll discover:

Materials Documentation Best Practices: Deploying templates and billable guides makes it easier for shops to track and itemize materials and quantities used and provide the level of detail needed to recoup costs.

How to Communicate with Insurance Carriers: Shops with strong insurance adjuster relationships take time to educate adjusters on the critical role of repair materials. Bridging the knowledge gap with adjusters, who often have an automotive focus, is essential as more shops expand into Class 4-8 commercial vehicles.

The Role of Digital Inventory Management: Tracking inventory, maintaining optimal stock levels, and creating a shared space for partially used products can ensure the right collision repair materials are available when needed, minimize delays, and reduce waste.
