Paul,
Thank you for that post about the NWRA. It was informative, I do however have a question for you. What if anything is the NWRA doing about the price fixing imposed on us by the Networks and Insurance companies trying to strangle us. I do really appricate what the NWRA did during the Tom Smale fiasco that the IGA tryed to sneak through, which was a very underhanded thing to do. We are almost being strangled by what the insurance companies are doing in terms of priceing.

For example they want to promote windshield repair instead of replacement and want to make it more attractive. Then at the same time they cut their prices drasticly on what they will pay for them. I understand them cutting them for replacement, however on repair they should be paying a fair price for them. Is this something that the NWRA is going to address?? Thanks for your time.

Very informative, Paul.

Just as you elected to do, I need to sit back and muse a bit before I submit any specific questions.

The very fact that you posted that fine article will be more beneficial for the NWRA than you might think at first glance. The active contributors to this forum are far outnumbered by those who lurk and read. (Not that I have anything against the latter group).

There's an invisible audience out there that just discovered either new facts about your organization or even the very fact that it exists.

In general and probably with few exceptions, the people reading and/or contributing to this forum are genuinely interested in quality repairs and the continued legitimacy of our business without interference from those who either subscribe to the kind of "planned obsolescence" that existed before repairs were possible or the type of bait and switch that exists today.

Thanks for clearing up some things. (At least in my mind). I hope you stick around long enough to answer some questions from the forum.
