Redbird Automotive

History

Redbird Automotive came out of the industry itself. Working as a technician in a variety of different shops I witnessed a change in the way things got done, or more often didn't get done. Elsewhere I saw a move away from craftsmanship as we moved into the age of the insurance protocol. Before that change, body and paint was a respected trade and the technician was revered as a craftsman, but then the change came. It was numbers over quality. We have moved to the age of standard industry practice. The 'Direct Repair Program, DRP, was offered to car shops by insurance companies but it turned the industry into an assembly line. It cut shop rates and forced shops to repair what really needed replacing. So now what appears to be an independent shop is often just an arm of the insurance industry where 'Good Enough' rules the day. With this chasing of the dollar came a new breed of tech with a new way of thinking about the repair process. And in this change the real loser was the customer.
