From the Desk of MMG President Rick Cutaia
“PASSION” While at the last mee ng forum with Mopar, one word kept coming up over and over again. It kept coming back. Whether it was during our mee ngs, happy hour with friends, or just enjoying a nice meal with those same business-minded friends; this word just kept repea ng. Not being one to believe in coincidence, I took the me to look through my notes from the New Orleans trip. (You all remember that trip- New Orleans liked us so much that it insisted on us extending our me!) While glancing through those notes, there it was. That word. Passion. Do I have it? Do I s ll have “passion”? Honestly, I couldn’t say that I did. The enthusiasm just wasn’t there. Like some of you, I have been in the same posi on for eighteen years, and over me, we get caught up in the pit of doing the same rou ne over and over again. The job can get so predictable, that I can sit in my office and foresee the next obstacle that was coming, almost like clockwork. The way of doing business is much different now than it was five years ago and it will most certainly be different five years from now. A normal day just is not normal anymore. I constantly have to handle things that take up so much of my me. The me spent on mundane things is the me that I would like to have reserved for implemen ng and growing my business. I would like to find that fire that I had eighteen years ago, when I was given the opportunity to manage the parts department. So we move forward, and we face the changes and expecta ons that are placed upon us. In doing so, how do we find that “passion” that we all once had? How do we keep the passion once we have made it- our departments are successful, we are successful? Here’s what we do. We maintain. We fight to keep the passion, the fire, and the energy that made us who we are in our professions. Sincerely, Rick Cutaia MMG President Rick.cutaia@hendrickauto.com

MOPAR BLOCK PARTY KICK STARTS MOPAR MILE-HIGH NATIONALS Mopar brought horsepower to the Denver area off the track, as thousands of Mopar fans and drag race enthusiasts turned out for the annual Mopar Block Party, held July 17 on the eve of the Mopar Mile-High NHRA Na onals. Now in its 13th year, the Mopar Block Party once again packed the streets of downtown Golden, Colorado. Fans met their favorite NHRA stars at the Team Mopar autograph session, lined up to check out Mopar display cars and race machines and received informa on about Mopar Express Lane service and Magne Marelli Quality Auto Parts Offered by Mopar at the many booths that lined the streets of Golden. Also on display at the Block Party was a brand-new beast from the Dodge brand — the fastest muscle car ever, the 707 horsepower 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. Dodge also unleashed the SRT Hellcat at the drag strip, as Richard Rawlings, from Discovery Channel’s Fast N’ Loud reality show, took part in a special race that pi ed his modern-day Challenger against a classic 1971 Dodge Challenger HEMI. Rawlings’ smoky burnout brought the crowd to its feet, with the Hellcat ul mately taking the win at the finish line. To help mark the 50th anniversary of the introduc on of the Gen II 426 Race HEMI engine to motorsports compe on, Mopar chose Tom Hoover, regarded as the father of the HEMI, as Grand Marshal for the Mopar Mile-High Na onals. On race day, Mopar presented Hoover with the Mopar President’s Award in recogni on of his contribu ons, loyalty and service to the Mopar brand. Hoover began his career as a Chrysler Corpora on engineer and progressed to leading a performance revolu on, which included the 426 HEMI, whose architecture is s ll used in NHRA compe on. Look for the Mopar brand to con nue its visits to Golden and Bandimere Speedway in the near future. During pre-race fes vi es for the event, Mopar announced a three-year extension of the brand’s tle rights sponsorship of the Mopar Mile-High Na onals, which began in 1989. The brand’s current 26-year rela onship is the longest running tle sponsorship in the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series, and among the longest in all of motorsports. Source: Mopar Momentum

Johnson Rules at Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals Allen Johnson did it again. For the third consecu ve season, and for the sixth me in the last eight years, Johnson powered to the NHRA Pro Stock victory at the Mopar Mile-High NHRA Na onals on Sunday, July 20, bringing home yet another trophy for his primary sponsor Mopar at the brand’s headline event. Johnson drove his “Magne Marelli Quality Auto Parts Offered by Mopar” Dodge Dart past Tommy Lee, Chris McGaha and Dave Connolly to set-up an all-Mopar final against teammate Jeg Coughlin Jr. and his JEGS.com/Mopar Dodge Dart. In his eighth consecu ve final round at Bandimere Speedway, located near Denver, Johnson drove to his quickest run of elimina ons, a 6.930-second elapsed me at 198.61 mph, while Coughlin was a bit too early on the tree, fouling out on a red-light, giving Johnson his sixth Mopar Mile-High NHRA Na onals crown. The win was the 24th of Johnson’s career and fourth of the season, and comes during Mopar’s marking of the 50th anniversary of the Gen II 426 Race HEMI® engine, as well as the celebra on of 100 years of the Dodge brand. The showdown also marked the third-straight all-Mopar Pro Stock final at Bandimere (Johnson defeated Colorado na ve V. Gaines in the money round in 2012 and 2013). “This team just con nues to find a way to do it,” said Johnson, who with the victory is now second allme in Pro Stock wins at the venue, behind only Pro Stock legend Bob Glidden. “We want to win here for Mopar and Magne Marelli, and my guys step up, and I step up. It’s a confidence thing. It’s just deep in our gut, and we keep doing it.” “Congratula ons to Allen (Johnson) and the team for driving the Magne Marelli Offered by Mopar Dodge Dart to an incredible sixth career win at Bandimere Speedway,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO — Mopar, Chrysler Group’s service, parts and customer-care brand. “What a great way to add to our celebraon of the Gen II 426 Race HEMI at our signature event.” Carrying special Gen II 426 Race HEMI 50th Anniversary Tribute graphics on his Mopar Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car, which was named the Best Appearing Car at the event, Ma Hagan advanced as far the quarterfinals, knocking off Alexis DeJoria in the first round before losing to John Force in the second round a er smoking the res.

Opinions Opinion: “A personal view: the view somebody takes about an issue, especially when it is based solely on personal judgment.”
I would like to encourage and challenge our guild membership to get involved and to offer their opinions and ideas (informa on) for the whole group to consider. These opinions could and should be offered up through the many different outlets the guild provides. This magazine is certainly one medium. The guild has a Facebook page, and our website and forum are other excellent tools that could be used to present ideas. Like most organiza ons, we are a diverse group and have many different ideas and belief systems about how things should work and how outside market forces will impact our businesses. One of the strengths of our organiza on has been our ability to exchange ideas and opinions, best stated by our mo o:
“The exchange of informaƟon by like-size dealers in a noncompeƟƟve environment.” In this age of poli cal correctness, and out of fear of rejec on, we may some mes become so reserved that we fail to express ideas, unless we have evidence that most of our group agrees. (Obviously those who know me understand this isn’t, nor has it been, my problem.) I would like to ask our Newsle er Chairperson, Don Cushing to encourage an ar cle in each of our magazine publica ons that allows members to express their opinions. This could be done with anonymity or be a signed ar cle. Members have given me various reasons for not presen ng their ideas, such as everyone is probably already doing it their way, it might be too radical for the group to consider, or other managers might think their idea is stupid. All of us have thought those things at one point or another, and to make a difference, it some mes takes a li le courage to step out in spite of these reserva ons. I can promise you that these fears are almost always unfounded! We should allow almost all ideas while maintaining a few rules of courtesy, decency, and common sense, as long as every one of these editorials is followed by a disclaimer such as, “This ar cle is not necessarily endorsed by, nor the opinion of the Mopar Masters Guild, but an avenue to offer diverse views.”

New Jersey Latest State to Introduce Legislation to Ban Fake Airbags State Assembly and Senate bills introduced last week seek to prohibit the manufacture, sale, or installa on of counterfeit or nonopera onal air bags in a motor vehicle. New Jersey Assemblywoman Anne e Quijano on June 9 introduced Assembly Bill 3364 that seeks to seek to prohibit the manufacture, sale, or installa on of counterfeit or nonopera onal air bags in a motor vehicle. The measure contains language similar to that found in legisla on and laws introduced in several other states over the last year. An iden cal bill was also introduced in the New Jersey Senate on June 12 by Senator Peter J. Barnes III. Under the provisions of this bill, as introduced, a person who “manufactures, imports, installs, reinstalls, sells, or offers for sale any device with the intent that the device replace an air bag in any motor vehicle and knows or reasonably should know that the device is a counterfeit air bag, a nonfunc onal air bag, or does not meet certain federal safety requirements is guilty of a fourth degree crime.” A fourth degree crime is punishable by up to 18 months imprisonment, and a fine of up to $10,000, or both. The bill also includes language that seeks to make it illegal to disable or cause the vehicle’s diagnos c system to make it seem like a func oning airbag is installed. The bill would also make it a fourth degree crime for anyone “…who sells, installs, or reinstalls in any motor vehicle a device that causes the motor vehicle’s diagnos c system to inaccurately indicate that the vehicle is equipped with a func onal air bag when a counterfeit air bag, a nonfunc onal airbag, or no air bag has been installed…” The bill would also make each instance where a counterfeit or nonfunc oning airbag was installed count as a separate viola on. Viola ons under the bill would also be treated as an unlawful prac ce under the consumer fraud act in the state and would be punishable by a penalty of not more than $10,000 for the first offense or $20,000 for further offenses. Also, an injured party could be awarded triple damages and costs under the bill language. Source: www.collisionweek.com

LKQ Corporation and Chrysler Sign Patent License Agreement, End Lawsuit Agreement brings end to lawsuit filed by Chrysler in January LKQ Corpora on announced it has entered into a Patent License Agreement with Chrysler Group LLC that grants LKQ a license under certain Chrysler design patents in connec on with LKQ’s distribu on and sale of a ermarket collision parts in the United States. As part of the agreement, Chrysler will dismiss the complaint it filed in January 2014 against LKQ alleging that the distribu on of certain a ermarket parts by LKQ infringed Chrysler’s design patents rela ng to its Dodge Ram pickup truck. Further details about the agreement and its terms and condi ons are confiden al. On January 16, Chrysler Group LLC filed a lawsuit against LKQ Corpora on and Keystone Automo ve Industries, Inc. in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan. The complaint alleged that LKQ and Keystone infringed upon 10 design patents owned by Chrysler covering Ram brand vehicles. Lawsuits involving automo ve design patents started over nine years ago. In December 2005, a similar suit was filed by Ford with the U.S. Interna onal Trade Commission (ITC) claiming that certain a ermarket parts violate patents held by the automaker. Keystone Automo ve Industries, Inc. was iden fied as a respondent in that ac on. Ford’s patents were upheld and in April 2009, LKQ reached a deal with Ford to sell copies of Ford patented crash parts. Last November, the Automo ve Body Parts Associa on (ABPA) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Ford Global Technologies, LLC that seeks to have design patents for body parts ruled invalid.
ABAT Hosted Inaugural Meeting June 18 On Wednesday, June 18, the newly-formed Auto Body Associa on of Texas (ABAT) held their Inaugural Meeting, featuring guest speaker BarreƩ Smith, President and Founder of Auto Damage Experts, Inc. Burl Richards, Ac ng President of ABAT, believes the mee ng went very well with over 80 a endees present. “The event exceeded our expecta ons as we originally were expec ng about 40-60 par cipants, but as the mee ng got closer and we received more responses, it was obvious that we should prepare for more. We believe that, as word gets out and posi ve changes begin to happen, we will have even more par cipa on which will be crucial as it will truly take a group effort to get things turned in the right direc on.” ABAT organizers were excited about the various collision repair industry fields represented at the mee ng as well as the interest expressed by distant shops. In addi on to body shop representa ves from all across Continued on Page 8

Continued from Page 7 eastern Texas, a endees included vendors and jobbers such as Kent Automo ve, English Color, Paint Works and BASF who sponsored the food at the event. Representa ves from Gulf States Toyota were also present as well as two members from “Team PRP” Highway Auto Parts and even Snyder’s Auto Salvage, visi ng from Temple, TX, which is nearly 200 miles away. A er opening with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, Smith led the group in a discussion about the fact that “when it comes to An -Trust laws, we must abide by them, but that in no way restricts us, as collision repair shops, from discussing the viable issues that we face,” Richards recalls. “Being scared to discuss issues only keeps us where the insurance companies want us – uninformed.” Smith also discussed the problem with many required repair procedures going overlooked and unpaid and how, when omi ed, these can create significant, yet unnecessary, liability issues for the repair facility. A er highligh ng these processes and explaining how shops can prevent being subjected to this extraneous liability, Smith presented on the value of Variable Rate Surveys and how this informa on, when gathered properly, can indicate the labor rates in specific areas, as well as to highlight deficiencies in training, cer fica ons and equipment. Following Smith’s presenta on, a endees discussed ABAT’s mission which is “to create an environment of professionalism, respect and accountability while also having the ability to collect fair and reasonable compensa on for repairs,” Richards explains. Lastly, the group debated the possibility of invi ng CSI to conduct a rate survey in their region, an ini a ve that will be put to a vote at ABAT’s next mee ng. Overall, a endees responded very posi vely to ABAT’s Inaugural Mee ng and seemed ready to meet again as soon as possible. ABAT fulfilled their purpose for this mee ng which was, according to Richards, “to educate shop owners and managers of their rights, not as the insurance companies instruct, but to be open to discussion with other shops without being fearful.” Richards further explains that the forma on of ABAT and all associa on-sponsored events are important because “as vehicle technology increases and insurance companies want to pay less and less for procedures and opera ons required to restore vehicles to their pre-loss condi on, we must remain profitable in order to educate and equip our shops with the necessary tools to put ‘safe’ vehicles back on the road.” ABAT has schedule a board mee ng on July 2 to discuss their upcoming agenda, and they hope to hold their next mee ng at the end of July or early in August.

Communication A guest editorial submi ed by Marvin Windham - Parts Director - Benchmark CJDR Some mes in our business we all feel overwhelmed. This is even more prevalent when given an extracurricular responsibility, such as being an officer in our organiza on. Fortunately we have been given a great opportunity in our organiza on to improve our communica on by using Gerry Oakes, now that he has cut back some on his Baxter responsibili es. This doesn’t absolve the officers and other execu ve commi ee members from their responsibili es, but he will certainly be able to provide valuable help! I think our communica on has been lax in the guild going back several years for the very reasons stated above. Now is the me to fix our problem and to do be er going forward. Some poten al ideas we may need to address: We need an accurate list of our membership and poten al members, and this list must be maintained. Everyone on this list needs to have a one-on-one conversa on with a current, ac ve member a few mes every year to let them know firsthand what is happening within our guild. Once we get a good list, officers and execu ve commi ee members should have a goal to personally speak to those managers outside their normal circles. Maybe set a goal of ten managers per month? We need to do a be er job of no fying membership of our upcoming mee ng plans. Give an accurate and full accoun ng of the various mee ngs that many of us a end on the guild’s behalf throughout the year. When a new member pays his or her dues, it should trigger a series of events, including sending a le er to welcome the new member to the guild, adding the new member to all the guild mailing lists (including this magazine), and placing a call to answer ques ons and make sure the new member knows what to expect. While e-mail is the preferred method of communica on for most of us, it isn’t for everyone. I think mee ng announcements and details should be sent out via a le er through the USPS, which would be two mailings per year. At a minimum once a quarter the officers and execu ve commi ee should have a conference call to see if any issues should be addressed and to make sure we are on track. These are my opinions—what are yours? Marvin Windham “This ar cle is not necessarily endorsed by nor the opinion of the Mopar Masters Guild, but an avenue to offer diverse views.”

How to Market to Millennials Wri en by Ed A anasio
We’ve all heard the term but what exactly is a Millennial? Born between 1981 and 1996, Millennials are represented by 86 million people, which means they’ve outpopulated the Baby Boomer generaon by seven percent. There are more 22-year-olds than 53-year-olds on the planet right now and by 2018 it is es mated that the Millennials will be outspending the Baby Boomers by a large margin. My stepdaughter is staying with us this summer, so I am ge ng a firsthand view of how these Millennials live. One thing I no ced is that they eat a lot and text a lot and ignore me with a passion. They’re also very in tune with all of the latest technology and social media and are extremely adept at rolling their eyes and saying things like “whatever” and “it is what it is.” Some find them to be en tled and downright rude, but no ma er what your opinion of them is, Millennials are a very significant segment of the market, and that’s why any consumer business should be at least remotely interested in what they’re up to. So, why should the collision industry care about this age group? Because they have money, they drive nice cars and just like everyone else—they get into accidents. A er years of studying Millennials, marketers and ad agencies all over the world know full well that the Millennial genera on isn’t just a bunch of en tled kids with smart phones snapping selfies and chasing down the latest Groupon deal. In fact, businesses that aren’t pursuing Millennials will soon be missing out on a major consumer opportunity from a genera on with an expected $2.45 trillion annual spending power by 2015. Body shops should be marke ng to Millennials right now, because they’re the consumers of the world’s, both today and tomorrow. The problem is that most owners of leading ad agencies and marke ng/pr companies are in their 40s and 50s and they’re s ll trying to use techniques that worked back in the Madmen days. But, in order to cater to the Millennials, the powers-that-be have to re-invent themselves once again and devise ways to appeal to these 20-somethings. I recently took a two-day seminar about social media and most of it was dedicated to adver sing and marke ng to Millennials. The class was taught by a Millennial, so the informa on was both per nent and useful. More and more companies are recognizing the value of marke ng to Millennials. By using these five ps to re-calibrate your marke ng, public rela ons and adver sing efforts, you’ll be able to tap into this increasingly powerful genera on. 1. Don’t Talk Down to Them I was talking to a Millennial one day about a world without personal computers or the Internet and he looked at me like I had just emerged from a cave. As the most educated and savvy consumer group in the world, Millennials know what they want and are very skilled at finding it all by themselves. Now, collision repair is obviously not an impulse buy and the Millennials will treat it as an unnecessary expense, like Obamacare or parking ckets. But, in the end they don’t like to be corralled into doing Continued on Page 27

Continued from Page 26
something, so branding and adver sing to this group may be more important than ever. They’re not the type that is going to just blindly pick one body shop from the list their insurance company shows them. They will want to do their due diligence and ask around, as well as referring to the shop’s web site, Yelp page and other assorted social media. 2. Don’t Camouflage Your Message “Be real,” is something the Millennials want to tell their parents and the new word I keep seeing everywhere is “transparency.” (Back in the old days, if you called somebody “transparent,” it meant they were not genuine, but now I guess it means exactly the opposite.) My stepdaughter has seen the media change and evolve and has been bombarded by literally millions of ads during her 20 years on the planet, so she can’t be fooled, cajoled or directed by adver sing. The Millennials want the facts now and don’t want to sit through your long descrip ons or veiled messages. Their me is limited and they’re juggling 1,500 things simultaneously and that’s why studies show that Millennials will value honesty and a straigh orward approach when it comes to adver sing. 3. Strengthen Your Presence Online Millennials are comfortable buying things online and that’s why brick and mortar businesses are moving toward the Internet more all the me. Unfortunately, you can’t get a fender bender repaired via the computer, but much of the groundwork can likely happen there. And that’s why it is important to have a good web site and some presence on Facebook and Instagram, for example, because these Millennials care about it and may use one or more to make their buying decisions. 4. Millennials Communicate All the Time…with Each Other This genera on is more connected than any group in history, because they have so many ways to do it. They also rarely live alone and have numerous roommates in many cases, so word-of-mouth (or text or video or photo bomb) is more valuable to adver sers who understand this. The old days of crea ng a “buzz” is always beneficial, but now it’s more concentrated and it all moves so much more quickly. Come up with a shorter, more concise message, so that the Millennials can grasp it fast and disseminate it to their friends and associates seamlessly. It’s called “going viral” and if you can get achieve it, you’ll be a success—Millennially speaking. 5. Quality is SƟll King (or Queen) With today’s technology, bad service and poor quality can’t be swept under the carpet anymore. Anyone can find your compe tors online within milliseconds and we all know that bad news travels faster than good news. Companies that take the me to provide convenient, Millennial-friendly services and quality products will be con nually rewarded with posi ve recommenda ons, via the spoken word, smartphones or laptops. Either way, Millennials are demanding be er service and higher quality while possessing the power to influence others, so listen to what they’re saying and start concentra ng on this demographic more. Whether you’re enamored or not with their a tudes or behavior, they’re a huge market and you can’t deny it any longer. Reprinted from www.AutoBodyNews.com - Wri en by Ed A anasio

Auto Glass Steering Controversy Continues in Connecticut Local NBC affiliate inves gates allega ons of steering in viola on of new law. In a report published earlier this week, NBC Connec cut, based in West Har ord, examined allega ons of steering in the auto glass repair and replacement industry in viola on of a new, more stringent, an -steering law passed last summer that took effect January 1. In June last year, Connec cut Gov. Dannel Malloy signed into law House Bill 5072 which banned auto insurers and third party administrators from steering auto glass repair exclusively to their own networks. Public Act 13-67 states that an insurance company cannot require that glass repairs “be performed in or by a specified facility.” Insurers, as well as their third-party claims administrators, are also prohibited from telling a policyholder that going outside of their repair network for repairs will result in delayed repairs or “a lack of guarantee for the automo ve glass work.” In addi on, claims representa ves would be required to tell claimants, “You have the right to choose a licensed glass shop where the damage to your motor vehicle will be repaired. If you have a preference, please let us know.” The ini al report by NBC Connec cut details the experience of one auto glass insured, Steven Petrauskas, in June this year who felt he was steered away from a shop he had used previously for glass work when a Safelite Solu ons employee made an appointment to have his work done at Safelite Auto Glass loca on instead of the glass shop he requested. In a follow up report the next day, the sta on spoke with the owner of an independent repair facility who reiterated many of the concerns expressed by the consumer. The reporter also detailed a statement the sta on received from Safelite that blamed the event on human error saying, “Our policy is to honor customer preference. Safelite Solu ons rou nely monitors calls, performs audits, coaches our staff and takes any necessary correc ve ac on to assure that our policies are being followed. We take complaints very seriously and ac vely inves gate them. Regarding Mr. Petrauskas, we have confirmed that the customer service representa ve mistakenly thought she was scheduling Mr. Petrauskas with Plymouth Glass. It is not evidence of systemic steering. It was an unfortunate error, which we have taken steps to correct.” As CollisionWeek reported in August, Safelite has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn provision in the new law that it believes violates it rights. The lawsuit, filed on July 26 in U.S. District Court, claims that sec on PA 1367(c)(2) is an infringement of Safelite’s First and Fourteenth Amendment rights because it “requires Safelite to promote other glass repair shops” and restricts its ability to provide the consumer with “truthful, accurate informa on about the benefits of their insurance policy.” At the me, Safelite sought an injunc on to stop the new law coming into effect this year. A er a hearing on the injunc on in December, the court denied the request concluding that law “…is ra onally related to the State’s goal of protec ng consumer choice and preven ng steering.” This ruling allowed the law to come into full effect on January 1. Safelite’s suit con nues and based upon the court’s schedule for the case could come to trial next year. According to NBC Connec cut, the state is inves ga ng the steering allega ons contained in its report.
