Once again, the holidays have come this year gift wrapped by many examples of collision repair shops giving back to their community and to those in need. Even though the industry has come a long way in improving its image, thanks in part to the National Auto Body Council, there still remains work to be done. It's good to see that some shops make it a part of their daily business dealings to lift up the industry and make it more appealing to the consumer. Below are just a few links to stories we've run on the charitable giving going around. If you haven't read these stories yet, you should. Perhaps it will inspire you to start your own giving or multiply your efforts:
