Greetings!

Happy New Year everybody!

We're getting back into the swing of things here at Collision Repair. We're also working on a new initiative for the new year.

I present to you: The Collision Repair Compensation Survey.

We'd like to get some concrete answers around the issue of compensation in our industry--some concrete answers about how Canadian collision repairers set their payrolls.

We tried to be very to the point. As such, it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to fill out.

(You can see some of the finer details of how we're handling the data here.)

Please pass this along as much as you can. We want to hear from as many people as possible and cover as wide a geographical range as we can so we can come up with the most accurate answers possible.

The easy-to-remember link is collisionrepairmag.com/survey. Tell your friends!

 

Take care,

-Joe Rayment
