Fix Auto USA Signs on with the DEG

"Fix Auto has always upheld a firm commitment to support innovation and positive initiatives that involve all participants of the Collision Repair Community” said Erick Bickett, CEO for Fix Auto USA. “We have watched the growth of the DEG and have been encouraged by the results driven from an initiative that so heavily relies upon participation by all industry segments. Quite honestly, we felt we would be remiss to not support an effort that provides a mechanism for such meaningful communication within the industry.”

“We have received continuous feedback from Fix Auto locations around the country that have used the DEG, and have been very pleased with the results that have been shared with us,” added Liz Stein, Director of Network Services for Fix Auto USA. “The process has further highlighted the value of open communication, and we felt compelled to do our part to support all those involved in the inquiry process who have worked so diligently towards positive advancements.”

“The DEG greatly appreciates the support we have received from all of our sponsors,” stated Darrell Amberson, DEG Joint Operating Committee Member. “Fix Auto has always been a very generous supporter of initiatives within the industry and their decision to become a sponsor of the DEG is certainly welcomed with great appreciation.”

The Database Enhancement Gateway is an initiative which enables those who use collision repair estimating databases to provide feedback in a standardized format to the Information Providers in an effort to promote data accuracy. DEG resources include an easy-to-use website, at www.degweb.org, an inquiry form, dedicated administration for the processing of inquiries, and a current database of both pending and resolved data inquiries submitted to the three major information providers. The DEG was created, initially funded and is maintained by the Automotive Service Association (ASA), the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers (AASP), and the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS). Additional funding for the DEG is provided through corporate sponsorships which ensure the longevity of the DEG as one tool to help improve the collision industry.
