Collision repair professionals can learn about the latest industry news, techniques and equipment by following Chief Automotive Technologies’ new “Collisionology” blog.

“Automakers are rapidly changing the way vehicles are designed and built,” says David Fischmer, marketing director for Chief parent company Vehicle Service Group (VSG). “And the more we can help educate technicians, estimators, shop owners and others in the industry about today’s essential practices and products, the more confident they will be. The Chief team has a vast amount of collision repair knowledge, and the ‘Collisionology’ blog provides the perfect outlet for us to share it with our customers.”

“Collisionology” will be updated multiple times each week. Readers can subscribe and receive email notifications when new entries are posted, or browse previous posts by topic. Topics covered so far include cycle time improvements, aluminum welding and frame rack selection.
