Please join us for the 3rd gathering of 2013. We have started the year off with great meetings. We have a lot going on this year. We have elected a new board member. We're working with State Legislators on bills to help our industry and protect our customers. We're working to reduce the tax burden on our Independent repair shops and level the playing field when compared to similar businesses. Also, with the increased cost in conducting business, many shops have increased their repair rates. Our members have reported the insurance companies are not keeping up with the new price changes. So, we have decided to conduct a labor rate survey of the Houston area this Spring.
Is your shop charging the correct amount for the work it performs, Click Here to use our Labor Rate Calculator to find out?
The last labor rate survey conducted by HABA was in 2011 and it revealed what we already knew to be true; the prevailing labor rate as stated by the insurance carriers was incorrect. It was shortly thereafter that, all insurance carriers increased the rates they would pay for collision repair in the Houston area. We had great participation in the last survey but we know we missed some shops. We want every qualified shop to participate this year. To make sure your shop gets to complete a survey, register with HABA by Clicking Here.
You do not have to be a member to participate in this survey but we hope you will support us and join soon. We will provide a list of shops to an independent third party that will be conducting the survey. Please make sure you forward this to all other shop owners and managers that you know because although we have a large list of shops, it does not include everyone.
In conclusion, we look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting and working hard to improve our industry in 2013
