Fix Auto Names Dan Dutra Western Regional Business Manager

Fix Auto has named Dan Dutra, a veteran of 28 years in the collision repair industry, as its western regional business development manager. For the past two years, Dutra served as the industry relations manager for DuPont Performance Coatings (DPC). His duties focused on the insurance industry as well as collision industry associations, such as CIC, SCRS, and NABC.

He joined Spies Hecker as business development manager in 1990. In 1994, he moved to Standox, where he helped to create Partnership in Excellence, the Standox value added program. In 1999, he was named business development manager for DPC's E-business.

Dutra currently is co-chairman of the Industry Issues Committee for CIC and chairman of the Marketing Committee of CIECA.

In his new position, he will be responsible for growing Fix membership in the Western Region and assisting current members in upgrading and marketing their services. Working from his home near San Francisco, he will also maintain his contact with various industry groups.

The Fix Auto Network provides centralized services such as claims processing, CSI measurement and benchmarking, along with training and technology, to member facilities. Numbering only 36 stores a year ago, Fix Auto's network now comprises 97 stores. Revenues this year are expected to exceed $260 million, nearly two-and-a-half times 2001's network sales.
