Vehicle Scanning for a Computer Network on Wheels
Vehicle complexity has exploded in the last decade, and continues to accelerate. Collision repair used to be about sheet metal, headlamp and bumper replacement; now it frequently involves sophisticated electronics. From adaptive front lighting to regenerative braking, today’s auto body repair includes increasingly complex systems and electronic components.
Average Length of Rental for Repairable Vehicles: Q1 2017
The rate of average Length of Rental (LOR) growth declined in Q1 of 2017 for the first time in multiple quarters increasing only a modest .2 days from 11.9 to 12.1. In March, the number was flat, the first month without a year over year increase in more than two years. The data demonstrates very little consistency across and within regions, therefore there doesn’t appear to be a true U.S. trend.
