Mitchell International, Inc., a leading provider of technology, connectivity and information solutions to the Property & Casualty (P&C) claims and Collision Repair industries, has announced it has signed an agreement with Assured Performance Network, Inc., a leading body shop audit, inspection and network management company, for it to provide field services in support of Mitchell’s Collision Repair Network Management solutions. Mitchell will utilize Audit & Inspection Vendors (AIVs) to provide field services for its network management solutions, which are offered to auto manufacturers (OEMs), fleets, and other entities.
“We have worked closely with Mitchell over the last several years, and this agreement represents the next step forward in our ongoing relationship,” said Scott Biggs, CEO of Assured Performance Network (APN). “Mitchell’s commitment to proper and safe repairs is a value we share, and this new work together will allow us to jointly serve the collision repair market in support of those values.”
Mitchell and APN expect to begin collaborating to deliver services to support the General Motors Collision Repair Network in the coming weeks. Interested repairers can find more information about the GM program and begin the enrollment process by visiting GenuineGMParts.com and click on the “For Professionals” tab. “Assured Performance is the first of multiple AIVs that we anticipate will work with us on the GM program,” added Lawlor, “and we will have capabilities through our AIV program to enroll both repairers that participate in other OEM collision programs, as well as those joining General Motors Collision Repair Network as their first OEM program.”
