The New Year comes with many well-intentioned people makingresolutions, some of which will be broken almost as quickly as the res-olution is made. Maybe you set goals, rather than resolve to do or notdo something. Regardless of what you call it - commitment, goal, res-olution, mission, target - I challenge you to do something this year thatinvolves WACTAL, which will ultimately benefit you and your industry.

The WACTAL Spring Conference is slated for March 6-7 in GreenBay. With a great lineup of programs and special guest speakerPepper Burruss, attending this event would be a great way to meetthe challenge of doing something that involves WACTAL. If not theconference, take Bill Luckenbill’s challenge (see page 7) by making adonation to the WACTAL Foundation in memory of Dale Aulik.

Attend a WACTAL Board meeting. Get involved legislatively. TheWACTAL Board has set its legislative agenda, which includes con-sumer choice and the issue of VIN tags and vehicle information labels.If you’re a member, recruit a new member, which will earn you a $50credit toward your next year’s dues. If you are not a member, JOIN!

There are many ways to get involved and meet the challenge todo just one thing this year that involves WACTAL.

Take the challenge. May you have a safe and prosperous 2015!

Former WACTAL President Dale Aulikpassed away on Sunday, November 23, 2014at the age of 58. Dale had a passion for lifeand being involved. Aside from serving on theWACTAL Board of Directors in several capaci-ties, Dale was a board member and past pres-ident of the Manitowoc County Auto BodyAssociation, past member of the LTC AutoBody Program Advisory Board and a memberof the Maribel Sportsman’s Club and SafariClub International. The annual Francis Creekcar show benefitting area youths was co-

and operated thefamily business,Woody’s AutoBody and Towingin Francis Creek.

Dale’s tenureon the WACTALboard began in

1994 when he stepped in as secretary, takingover the position held by his brother Rickwhen Rick took ill. Dale took on the WACTALpresidency with the same dedication he gaveto everything. One of his concerns was pro-jecting a good image for WACTAL. He madesure his “President’s Message” published inWisconsin Automotive News was “polished,”having his wife JoAnn and longtime friendsPete and Lonna Gall proofread the messagesbefore publication. Never having been to theWACTAL office before, a few months afterbeing elected president in March 2008, Daleand JoAnn rode their Harleys to the WACTALoffice in Waukesha.

Dale worked hard and played hard. Hewas an avid hunter, a passion he shared withJoAnn. With their hunting and fishing compan-ions, Dale and JoAnn traveled the States andworld.

Dale is survived by his wife, JoAnn;father, Woodrow Aulik; sister, Ann (Scott)Kinnunen; in-laws, Joe and Audrey Samz;

many nieces, nephews and friends.Dale will be sadly missed by all who

knew and loved him. Our condolences to thefamily.

Lawsuit UpdateThe judge in the insurance company law-

suits (see last issue) has not ruled yet on themotions to dismiss, which were heard lastmonth. The plaintiff’s attorneys continue to col-lect documentation on adjustor/insurer misbe-havior (steering, retaliation, etc.).

Filings continue in the multi-district litiga-tion. The Wisconsin complaint has not beenfiled just yet. There is still a window of oppor-tunity to join the lawsuit. Shop owners wishingto join the lawsuit should contact attorneyWilliam Sevier at the Eaves Law Firm, (601)355-7961.

More on the lawsuits will be reported as itbecomes available.

Shipping Rate Calculation Methods To Change

Siriani, SCRS’ Freight Savings Planmember benefit provider, would like you to beprepared for upcoming shipping rate calcula-tion changes for ground shipments by bothUPS and FedEx. These pricing changes wentinto effect on December 29, 2014 for UPS andJanuary 5, 2015 for FedEx.

Offset these increases by joining theSCRS Freight Savings Plan. SCRS memberscan save up to 33 percent on select FedExExpress® services and up to 24 percent onselect FedEx Ground® services. Enroll onlineat www.siriani.com/scrsfsp or phone (800)554-0005 with any questions. Your accountnumber will remain the same, the sign upprocess is very simple and you can start sav-ing right away.

This year, you may find you’re payingmore when shipping ground packages. That’sbecause UPS and FedEx will be applyingdimensional weight pricing to all ground pack-ages, not just those over three cubic feet. Theuse of dimensional pricing in ground ship-ments is intended to encourage the use ofappropriate packaging, as some shippers whocontinue to ship lightweight items in largeboxes will see shipping costs increase.

Dimensional pricing rule change will coin-cide with the annual price increase.

WACTAL is an SCRS affiliate; therefore,WACTAL members may take advantage of theSCRS member benefits.

WACTALMEMBER

SPOTLIGHTPrestige Auto Body Marinette, WIPrestige Auto Body, Ltd. Marinette, WI

Prestige Auto Body in Marinette hasbeen in business since the mid 1980s.Like many auto body businesses, it is afamily affair. Lori Dura, along with her co-worker Mike Reek, took the shop overfrom her father two years ago when heretired. Wisconsin Automotive Newsrecently sat down with Lori Dura to talkabout her time in the industry.

Wisconsin Automotive News: How didyou get your start in collision repair?

Lori Dura: Well, there are four kids in myfamily. I have three brothers, and then I’mthe only girl. When my brother who is twoyears older than me was leaving for col-lege, he offered to sell me his car. Thisthing was a disgusting banana yellow so Iasked my dad if he would paint it for me.My dad told me, “No. You’re going to paintit with me.” I was only 16 but from themoment I started fixing it up, I fell in lovewith bodywork. I started working rightalongside all of the guys. My brothers allhad odd jobs in the shop when they wereyounger, but never like I did. There wasonly one other woman that I knew of whoworked on cars within the shop at thattime. Other than that, it was just me.

WAN: What is your favorite thing aboutthe work that you do?

Lori: If you’re taking a car that is com-pletely smashed, and then a week or twolater it looks like new, that’s an amazingfeeling. It’s like how a surgeon can fixsomeone with a new organ. I look at it as

we’re putting a new heart in your car,making it run again.

WAN: How long have you been aWACTAL member? What inspired youto join?

Lori: We were members when my fatherowned the shop, since the mid-1980s. Wesimply continued the tradition when Mike

Reek and I took over. My father was evenWACTAL president for six or seven years.Mike is the one who goes to the conven-tions and classes. I love that they give usa lot of fun information. Their classesupdate us on what’s happening with tech-nology in new cars, lawsuits that affect ourindustry, business practices and so muchother great stuff. They’re so informative.

WAN: What do you like to do whenyou’re not in the shop?

Lori: I’m a reader. At the end of the day, Ilike to curl up with a book. My husbandhas a Harley, so we like to take long tripstogether. And, of course, I like spendingtime with my two babies. My son is 14 andmy daughter is 11, so they’re really notbabies anymore but they’ll always be thatway to me. In the summertime we like togo camping.

WAN: What would you say is yourgreatest accomplishment?

Lori: I would say my greatest accomplish-ment is the fact that, when I was 16, Iknew what I wanted to do and I told every-one that one day I would own the shop.And now, however many years later, I do.

WAN: What’s the best piece of adviceyou’ve received that’s worth sharing?

Lori: If you set a goal, no matter how longit takes to get there, don’t ever stop.When I was 16, I wanted to own this shopby the time I was 25. Realistically, therewas no way that was going to happen. Iwas almost 40 before I went back toschool for business management in orderto better run this place. If you have a goal,don’t give up, even though it may take youa little longer than expected to achieve it.

Save the Dates for NORTHEAST® 2015!Proudly Presented by


When President Obama made headlines last summerby riding a crash avoidance simulator at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, VA, hedemonstrated the motoring public’s growing fascinationwith rapidly developing safety technologies that are revolu-tionizing the way vehicles are made – and repaired.

These days, it’s virtually impossible to read up on theautomotive world and not come across news on things likeautonomous emergency braking systems (designed to helpa driver avoid a low-speed crash or to reduce its severity),adaptive headlights, electronic stability control (to preventrollovers), lane departure systems (which track a vehicle’sposition within a lane, usually with a camera mounted on ornear the rearview mirror and alerts the driver as the carbegins to move out of the lane) and forward collision warn-ing systems with auto braking. Of course, there is also themuch-hyped self-driving car from Google. Naturally, theseadvancements have also sent shockwaves through theAmerican collision repair industry.

These new technologies took center stage at a recentCollision Industry Conference (CIC), where industry con-sultant and CIC Governmental Committee member SteveRegan (Regan Strategies) outlined some of the many waysautomated technologies are already impacting the automo-tive field. On the federal level, Regan shared that theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is“aggressively” instructing auto manufacturers to implementthese features in cars.

“They want this to be done because their goal is safe-ty,” he said. “The less accidents, the safer the roads aregoing to be.”

On the state level, Regan noted that California,Nevada, Michigan, Florida and the District of Columbia

already have some form of law on the books regarding theuse of self-driving cars, despite the fact that these productshave yet to even hit the market. In his mind, this is indica-tive of an escalating interest in addressing what could verywell be the future of driving in the United States.

“Those of us who have worked with associations orhave done any type of lobbying know how tough it is to geta law passed, so imagine what’s going on when [four]states have already passed laws to regulate the use ofthese vehicles [when] they’re not for sale at this time,” hesaid.

When can we expect these cars to officially hit thestreets? Not surprisingly, money will play a huge role indetermining how (and if) self-driving cars will impact socie-ty. According to a study by IHS Automotive(http://press.ihs.com/press-release/automotive/self-dri-ving-cars-moving-industrys-drivers-seat), annual salesof self-driving cars worldwide (including models that wouldrequire at least some driver involvement) will grow from230,000 in 2025 to 11.8 million by 2035. Additionally, self-driving technology will add $7,000 to $10,000 to a car’ssticker in 2025. IHS Automotive expects self-driving cars(SDC) that include driver control to hit highways around theglobe before 2025, while self-driving “only” cars are antici-pated around 2030.

Note those dates above. Quite a long time to wait, isn’tit?

While many repairers are understandably interested inhow evolving technologies will impact their bottom lines inthe years to come, California-based auto body instructorToby Chess cautions shops that there are still troublesomethings for them to grapple with right here, right now beforeeven beginning to fret about the future.

Future Fear: Will Self-Driving Cars (& More) Drive

ve YOU Out of Business?

“The biggest problem I’m seeing is that the technologyis proceeding three, four, five times faster than our train-ing,” he says. “Get your house in order, guys. Start lookingat whether you have the right equipment, the proper train-ing for the equipment and the understanding of how thisstuff works.”

Over the last several years, Chess has activelyreached out to repairers to educate them on such currenttechnologies as the electronic stability control and steeringangle sensor. If his travels have taught him anything, it’sthat even some of the most extensive repair facilities in thecountry are behind the eight ball when it comes to properlyidentifying the advanced features in cars today, let alone in2025.

“I don’t care if they’re high-end or low-end, peoplearen’t asking questions,” he opines. “They’re just grabbingkeys, filling out some forms and leaving without asking thepertinent questions. Do the customers have a lane depar-ture system on their car? Do you have ‘hill descent’? That’sgoing to change how you write a sheet.”

According to Chess, the steering angle sensor is per-haps the most critical component of any current vehicle onthe road.

“You know what works off that steering angle sensor?”he asks. “Crash avoidance, lane departure, adaptive cruisecontrol, adaptive headlamps, ‘hill ascent’ and ‘hill descent.’”

With crash avoidance, autonomous braking systemsand similar breakthroughs reshaping how cars operate onthe road, does that mean that repairers will find themselvesout of work as this technology does away with accidents?Chess isn’t convinced that will be much of an issue.

“I don’t care how good the [crash avoidance] system is;

people are still going to crash cars,” he insists. “I’ve beentold that [crash avoidance systems] have certain speedparameters; they work at a certain level of speed. It mightreduce some of the severity, but it’s not going to eliminatecrashes altogether.”

Additionally, it is important to remember that the carspresently on the road without these technologies won’tcompletely disappears from America’s roadways overnight.According to research by the Highway Loss Data Institute,the average lifespan of a vehicle is 11 years. If you couplethat with the fact that pickup trucks and collectible cars lasteven longer, it might end up taking quite a long time beforesomething that’s added to all new cars turns up on themajority of vehicles. For example, a 2012 federal mandaterequired all new vehicles to be equipped with electronicstability control, but the Institute anticipates that it will takedecades before the impact of this change is truly felt.

Even if many of the changes discussed in this featurewon’t truly start impacting most repair shops for a longtime, it is still a good idea for repairers to start doing theirhomework now to be prepared for the technological revolu-tion ahead.

As Regan told the CIC body, “It’s not on the back burn-er anymore. Everybody is talking about it; everyone isthinking about it. Really, that’s why we need to talk aboutit.”

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) offersan extensive online database of current vehicles with crashavoidance features – as well as numerous educationalvideos – at www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/crash-avoidance-features.
