Material usage in collision repair goes far beyond just paint.

Some tools sound good in theory. Others become part of how your shop operates every single day.

That’s exactly how Chad Watkins, Owner of Larry's Body Shop and President of the GCIA (Georgia Collision Industry Association), describes PMCLogic.

For Chad and his team, the biggest impact has been the consistency, convenience, and time savings that come from simplifying the estimating and paint & materials process.

“Once you start using PMCLogic, it quickly becomes part of how you operate. It simplifies the process, saves time, and reduces mistakes.”

From reducing manual steps and back-and-forth to helping estimates flow more efficiently, PMCLogic helps shops stay focused on what matters most: repairing vehicles properly and keeping production moving smoothly.

We truly appreciate Chad taking the time to share his experience and perspective with us.

Thank you to Collision Industry Conference and the Southeast Collision Conference for a great few days.

Rick, Matthew, and Isabel were there, spending time connecting with people across the industry and having the kind of conversations that don’t always happen unless you’re in the room.

A lot of good discussion, a lot of perspective, and always something to take away when you’re surrounded by people who are dealing with the same day-to-day challenges.

Appreciate the time, the conversations, and the opportunity to keep learning and growing alongside this industry.

Most shops don’t realize where their P&M is actually slipping.

We wrote a short blog on one simple habit that can help tighten up your accuracy and give you a clearer picture of what’s actually being captured.

The One Habit That Improves Paint and Materials Accuracy in Every Collision Repair Shop - PMCLogic Struggling with paint and material profit? Learn the one simple habit that helps shops improve accuracy and protect their margins.

Strong industry conversations shape the future of collision repair.

The recent Georgia Collision Industry Association meeting focused on protecting proper repairs, supporting consumer safety, and making sure the realities shops face today are being heard.

A key takeaway is the upcoming Georgia Labor Rate and Expense Study. This matters because it brings real data to the true cost of repairing today’s vehicles.

When shops participate, it helps ensure the industry is represented accurately.

That’s the value of associations like GCIA, giving collision repair a stronger, more informed voice.

Rick recently joined a panel on Paint and Materials Invoicing Software at the Gulf States Collision Association, alongside Mike Anderson of CollisionAdvice.com and Ementi Coary of Mitchell International, Inc..

Great conversation around what shops are really using, documenting, and billing when it comes to paint and materials.

These discussions are key to helping shops improve visibility and protect their margins.

Happy Easter from PMCLogic 🐰🐣

In an industry that rarely slows down, we hope you get a chance to step back, reset, and enjoy a bit of time outside the shop this weekend.
