Write it Right Committee Reactivated by New Jersey AASP
The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers/New Jersey (AASP/NJ), in conjunction with several New Jersey insurance carriers, has recently reactivated the Write it Right Committee. An initial meeting was held on December 15, with participation by several insurance and collision shop representatives.The “Write it Right” concept was first developed by the national Collision Industry Conference (CIC) organization in the 1990s, with the purpose of bringing insurers and repairers together for responsible discussions involving estimating and claims handling procedures.
This New Jersey committee intends to meet periodically during the course of the year, and has the following goals:
- Enable open and candid discussions of industry issues affecting the collision and insurance industries.
- Improved professionalism in the relationship between these groups.
- Improved and more efficient communication between these groups.
- The development and implementation of “best practices” guidelines for estimating and processing auto physical damage claims.
- Identifying and implementing “win-win” strategies for insurers, repairers and the consumer.
“We feel that the reactivation of this committee is coming at a crucial time for our industry,” said AASP/NJ member Joe Lubrano of J & E Auto Body in Clark. “The communication lines have become a little blurred over the past few years and we are looking forward to working with the committee to help clear those lines once again. It’s definitely a start.”
Any additional insurance carriers seeking to participate in upcoming Write it Right meetings are asked to contact Joseph Belfiore, Parkway Insurance, at 800.821.1818, x3816, or jbelfior@parkway.com.
AASP/NJ sponsors the annual NORTHEAST Trade Show, the largest regional automotive trade show and congress in the country. The NORTHEAST show is celebrating its 28th edition in 2005 with close to 10,000 automotive professionals expected to attend. NORTHEAST 2005 is held at the Rockland Community College Arena in Suffern, New York and will take place on April 1, 2, and 3 of 2005.
