ADAS, Sensors & Epoxies: The New Rules of Plastic Repair | Ep #133 with Mario Dimovski

Saison 2 · Épisode 12

mardi 2 décembre 2025 • Durée 38:48

50-60% of the parts on an average collision claim are plastic. Yet, most of the industry is still operating in the "wild west" when it comes to repairing them.

In this eye-opening episode of Body Bangin’, I sat down with Mario Dimovski, a 35-year veteran of the industry and the Head of the Plastic Repair Alliance Council, to discuss the massive knowledge gap in plastic repair… and the global initiative that is about to change everything.

Mario has spent his entire career in plastics. He explains why the "chicken wire and hot glue" approach is failing shops, why OEMs are finally paying attention, and how a new set of global standards is being built to help shops repair safer, cheaper, and better.

This episode is a wake-up call for every shop owner who wants to stay ahead of the curve on the most common material in the bay.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🧪 The "Wild West" of Plastic Repair Why the industry currently lacks uniform standards, leading to "band-aid" solutions that fail, cost shops money, and frustrate customers.

📊 The 50% Reality Check With plastic making up over half of claim parts, Mario breaks down why shops can no longer afford to "wing it" on tools, materials, and processes.

🌍 Introducing Plasnomic: The Global Standard How a council of experts from around the world is uniting to test data, define best practices, and finally give shops a playbook for proper repair.

⚠️ Safety & Sustainability: The Hidden Costs From dangerous fumes to massive landfill waste, we discuss the environmental and health impacts of improper plastic management, and the new government pushes to fix it.

🛠 What Shops Need to Watch For in 2025 The timeline for when these new standards, tool recommendations, and material guides will hit the market (and how you can access them).

Meet Mario Dimovski

Mario is an industry veteran with over 35 years of experience specializing in plastic repair innovation. He is a global ambassador for IBIS Worldwide and leads the charge at Plasnomic to create the first unified global standard for automotive plastic repair.

How Top Shops Develop Techs in 2025 | Ep #132 with Jason Bartanen

Saison 2 · Épisode 11

mercredi 19 novembre 2025 • Durée 51:49

What does it really take to attract great technicians, train them the right way, and build a shop culture that actually keeps them?

In this power-packed episode of Body Bangin’, I sat down with Jason Bartanen, industry educator, trainer, and founder of Collision ProAssist, to break down the real reasons shops struggle with talent… and what the best operators are doing differently.

Jason has trained thousands of technicians across the country. He’s seen what works, what fails, and why some shops keep losing people no matter how much they pay.

This episode is a roadmap for every shop owner who wants to build a team that’s skilled, confident, and loyal.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🔧 Why the tech shortage isn’t about “no talent”. It’s about no development
Jason explains the mindset shift shops must make if they want to build a pipeline of skilled technicians.

📚 The training model top shops use to grow techs internally
And why relying only on “experienced hires” is a losing strategy long-term.

⚙️ The new competencies techs actually need with today’s vehicles
ADAS, calibrations, documentation, and why shops fail when training doesn’t match real workflow.

🧠 How leadership impacts technician retention more than pay
From communication gaps to unclear expectations, Jason outlines the hidden problems that push techs away.

📈 What shops must do now to stay competitive in 2025 and beyond
Practical steps to build structure, improve onboarding, and run stronger production.

How Two Shop Owners Changed Collision Repair | Ep #123

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

mardi 24 juin 2025 • Durée 54:26

In this powerful episode, Micki Woods is joined by Jeff Butler and Justin Lewis—two shop owners who fought for years to protect collision shops and consumers alike, and won.

They helped pass a groundbreaking Right to Appraisal (RTA) bill in Washington, and they’re here to share what every shop owner needs to know about it—and how to take action in your own state.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅ What RTA Actually Is: Why it matters, how it works, and why most shops are still misunderstanding it.
✅ Why WA Had to Step Up: How insurers were writing RTA out of policies—and how Jeff and Justin fought to make it mandatory.
✅ “Competent Appraiser” Defined: What that term really means (and why a boat damage appraiser has no business near a Tesla claim).
✅ What Shops Can Do Now: Whether you’re in WA or not, here’s how to educate customers, document better, and fight smarter—not harder.

If you’ve ever been short-paid, ignored by insurance, or frustrated with the lack of leverage, this episode is a must-listen.

Ep #34: Using Video to Educate Your Guests with Frank Rinaudo

Saison 1 · Épisode 34

lundi 2 mai 2022 • Durée 21:35

Today we talk with Frank Rinaudo, owner of Frank's Accurate Body Shop in Slidell, Louisianna. I found Frank on LinkedIn and loved the videos he was making which showed the difference between an improper repair and a proper repair. As a non-DRP shop he understands the importance of education his guests and this was a way he could do so.
He also shares with us some great information on becoming a non-DRP shop if that's the direction you are thinking of going in your shop.

Ep #33: Make Stinkin' Good Money in Your Shop with Greg Lobsiger

Saison 1 · Épisode 33

mardi 19 avril 2022 • Durée 42:25

Greg Lobsiger is a body shop owner out in Indiana at Loren's Body Shop where he does about $300k/mo which is about 3.5 cars/day or 65 cars/month. He says "It's not about creating dollars. I want to take money home. I work very hard. I want my technicians to make very good money. Without question, I want to take care of those people. I better make stinkin' good money and that is what it comes down to."
But how do you know if you are profitable in your shop?
Greg gives us some great takeaways and is a fantastic resource to help figure out what our numbers should look like and how to do the calculations to see if you are profitable.

Technician Cost Equation:
For 4 months you take the total technicians average cost per week (gross pay) then divide by the billed hours average per week. This gives you the cost per billed hour.

Where you want to be...
Unloaded: 16%-18% of sales should be your technician cost
65% Labor GP - if you bill $50 worth of labor you should pay out $17.50 to your techs.
50% GP on Paint & Materials

Reach out to Greg and he'd be happy to help!

Ep #32: Finances & Employee Value Props with Rachel James

Saison 1 · Épisode 32

lundi 4 avril 2022 • Durée 31:09

Rachel James started in the industry over 20 years ago and went from the dealer side to a technician and now is crunching numbers for body shop owners and their employees on a daily basis at her practice with Northwestern Mutual! Although most of us don't like talking numbers she helps shops and their employees budget, helps us to know what numbers we should be looking at, we talk a little about retirement and what I found most intriguing is something she can help you provide to key people called "Key Person Planning" where a specific, valuable employee can have a special benefit package! So interesting!

Saison 1 · Épisode 30

mardi 8 mars 2022 • Durée 38:01

How is he handling these bottlenecks in production, parts issues and more? He shares with us his insight!

Michael is the president and CEO of DCR Systems where they have 7 locations in 5 states that are dealer based and the stores all range in sales from $100K-$200K/mo, $200K-$350K/mo and his largest shop does $600-$800k/mo. As someone who can speak with authority on the hot topics of today...Michael gives us some great food for thought and a fantastic take-away each shop needs to do ASAP!

Ep #29: Getting "In the Zone" All the Time! with Performance Coach - Chris King

Saison 1 · Épisode 29

mardi 28 décembre 2021 • Durée 39:10

Don't you wish you could get done in 1 day what would have taken you 1 week? I do!
And, we can!

Today we have Chris King, a performance coach with Status Flow sharing with us some key components for pique performance. At the end of the day - Chris shares with us that all responsibility for our life - is our own - and we can change it to become the Lamborghini that's living inside of us!

Here's a great way Chris explains this:
Your reality is the end result of a system. Any system can be hacked and optimized if we understand the system well enough.
So, everything that is happening in our world today is a result of actions we took.
Actions are driven by feelings.
Feelings are how we experience our thoughts.
Our thoughts come from our root code or our belief system.

The key here is that our results are pre-designed to validate our belief system which becomes a feedback loop that keeps going around and around. If we can interrupt the process and bring conscious awareness to it - you can hack it, recode it and produce an entire new life!

Chris wrote an incredible book: Renegotiate Your Existence and I HIGHLY recommend reading it! It can be found on Amazon for Kindle or in Paperback.
Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/Renegotiate-Your-Existence-Unlock-Impossible/dp/B093N2DL1G

Ep #28: Talking Parts & People!!! with Dave Luehr

Saison 1 · Épisode 28

lundi 13 décembre 2021 • Durée 39:57

Two of the biggest pain points in the collision industry are PARTS and PEOPLE and today we are discussing both with the ever-popular Dave Luehr!

Dave shares insights into how we can deal with the parts shortages plaguing us. He talks about how you can schedule properly by following the formula in the video (Elite Scheduling Secrets) and using tools such as ADAS CoPilot with Frank Terlep.
(Link to the episode I did with Frank is below)

We also talk about how to deal with the lack of qualified people/workers in our industry and how we can make it more appealing PLUS how to get involved with those coming through our trade/tech school.
(Link to Brandon's info at CREF is below and a link to the podcast episode with Brandon & CREF is below)

Such great takeaways on this episode. I'm super happy to share this one with you!
