1K Dealers, Body Shops Enrolled in GM's Collision Repair Network

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 30, 2018—Today at the SEMA Show, General Motors’ Customer Care and Aftersales division announced that in just a few months, nearly 1,000 dealers and repair facilities have begun enrollment in the GM Collision Repair Network.

At the GM Genuine Parts and ACDelco SEMA Collision booth (#15407), GM is showcasing the repair procedures related to the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s advanced technologies. Participants in the collision repair network will have access to the Silverado’s repair procedures and training, resulting in a more efficient collision repair process.

Repair procedures that will be displayed at SEMA Collision include:

• 2019 Silverado 1500 Front and rear frame service parts, making it simpler to replace portions of the frame in a collision instead of replacing the full frame.

• 2019 Silverado 1500 Proper lifting and jacking procedures, utilizing newly-designed “wide” hoist adapters to avoid possibility of frame distortion.

• Fascia repair procedures, ensuring the advanced driver-assistance systems are working properly after repair.

• Paint-friendly service parts for grilles, making paint prep and application easier without having to mask off sections of the grille.
