🔥 FLORIDA COLLISION REPAIRERS — THIS IS THE EVENT YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS 🔥

The industry is changing fast. DRP pressure, labor challenges, production bottlenecks, insurer relations, and legislative issues are impacting shops across Florida every day.

On Saturday, June 20th in Daytona, the Florida Autobody Association is bringing together shop owners, managers, estimators, and production teams for a full day focused on one thing:

➡️ Building STRONGER SHOPS.
➡️ Creating a STRONGER INDUSTRY.
➡️ Driving a STRONGER FLORIDA.

The best-performing shops focus on OPERATIONS.
