LAS VEGAS — General Motors’ Customer Care and Aftersales division announced that, in just a few short months, nearly 1,000 dealers and repair facilities have begun enrollment in the GM Collision Repair Network. Executives made the announcement at SEMA Collision 2018 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“The industry response means that repair facilities are seeing business value in becoming a part of GM’s Collision Repair Network,” said John Eck, collision manager, GM Customer Care and Aftersales. “Collision repair professionals are telling us they see how the network can help make their business more efficient, speed up the repair process and give confidence that vehicles are repaired accurately and safely.”

GM is showcasing repair procedures related to the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at the GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco booth (No. 15407) at SEMA Collision. Participants in the Collision Repair Network will have easy access to the Silverado’s repair procedures and training, resulting in a more efficient collision repair process, according to the announcement.
