As we bid farewell to 2023, let's take a ride down the lane of trends that defined the collision repair and insurance markets. Here are three key takeaways: Rise in Vehicle Theft & Vandalism The U.S. witnessed a concerning 2% increase in vehicle thefts in the first half of 2023. Domestic pickups, especially, faced vulnerability. Despite a high recovery rate, total losses due to theft reached over 4% in Q4 2022. Vandalism claims also surged, with a 10% increase in 2022 and a projected 25% YoY increase in 2023. Asian autos, particularly 4 years or older, topped the list for repairable vandalism claims at over 68%. Catalytic Converter Thefts Surge! Catalytic converter thefts skyrocketed to 64,701 in 2022, nearly 4 times the count in 2020. These thefts, fueled by valuable rare earth metals, led to preventive actions. Vehicle owners are advised to park in well-lit areas, etch VIN numbers, and even paint converters with high-heat paint. Recent reports show a ~38% decline in catalytic converter thefts in 2023, though the actual cause remains unclear. Impact of Strikes on Suppliers Recent UAW strikes rippled through the industry, emphasizing the critical role of suppliers and the need for a resilient supply chain. Suppliers, constituting 900,000 jobs and 2.5% of GDP, faced $3.3 billion in economic losses. Strikes underscored the vulnerability of the modern, global supply chain. Ratified contracts and wage increases for U.S. plant workers signal a step towards stability. Vehicle Repair Cost Bubble Total cost of repairs (TCOR) experienced a subtle +4.6% increase in 2023, influenced by factors like vehicle age mix and economic variables. Labor costs played a major role, while parts costs remained relatively flat. The average age of light vehicles, 12.5 years, indicates a shift in the repair landscape, with vehicles 7 years or older representing a growing share of repairable claims at 44.8% in 2023. Navigating a complex terrain, the auto industry embraces change, resilience, and customer-centric solutions. Here's to a smoother road ahead in 2024!

A drawback to using a direct repair shop for auto repairs is that the insurance company may have pre-negotiated rates with these shops, which could limit the choices for quality parts and services. 👏 This will affect the overall repair quality and customer satisfaction. Don’t go with just ANY shop, call us for quality service and even better customer service
