Code of Ethics Comments

By E L Eversman

I’ve received a number of comments from people about the Collision Repair Code of Ethics and have asked permission to share those comments here so that others can consider them. Don’t forget, you can comment directly here at AutoMuse® — after signing in. Comments don’t appear immediately, unfortunately, because of spammers. Real comments get posted — even when they disagree or are controversial — so don’t hesitate to post because you have a different opinion.

A quick scan of your code of ethics brought to my attention the part that speaks to damage analysis. I believe that your expectation on that matter and the 10% deviation is unrealistic. I notice also the absence of any discussion of a professional being compensated for this damage analysis. I believe that need be part of any document such as this that outlines the professional conduct of the trade. I will review more and forward comments unless you are not interested. Thank you for letting me be part of this process…
