How else do you see being a Spartan as helpful for a collision repair business?
The Spartans want to be a resource for one another. A Spartan in Florida couldn’t locate a part the shop needed locally; Frank Rinaudo, a Spartan in Louisiana, found the part there, and personally drove it six hours to the Florida shop, just to help them out.
We had another Spartan member who lost a painter and was really backed up. One of the other Spartans flew his painter there for a weekend to help the shop catch up.
Is there anything else you would like to add? What if an OEM-certified collision repair shop wants to find out more about becoming a Spartan?
They can visit the Collision Advice website (collisionadvice.com) for more information and ways to contact us. I think it is important that people understand we are not a banner group or franchise model---I have a great working relationship with some of those---and we are also not anti-insurance. We are a coaching and training company that is collaborating with shops and all industry stake-holders to identify areas of opportunity or improvement or solutions for the industry.
