Collision Advice Legacy Group Names ALLDATA as a Preferred Partner for Repair Information Technology
August 27 2019 - 08:00AM
ALLDATA, an AutoZone company, was recently designated a “Preferred
Partner” of the Collision Advice Legacy Group Cooperative.
Only a handful of vendors have earned the “Preferred Partner”
designation from Collision Advice Legacy Group Cooperative. The
honor is reserved for vendors that meet or exceed standards of
excellence for collision shops’ repair needs, as determined by the
Board of Directors of the Collision Advice Legacy Group.
The Collision Advice Legacy Group was founded by the members of
Axalta Coating Systems Business Council groups that are facilitated
by Mike Anderson
The Collision Advice Legacy Group works with Axalta’s customers
to elevate the performance and profitability of its members. In
Business Council settings, members examine shops’ financials,
explore the latest collision industry trends and receive education
on how to perform safe and proper repairs. The Legacy Group also
works to leverage the buying power of its members on select
products and services.
Mike Anderson, President of Collision Advice, serves as the
Chairman of the Collision Advice Legacy Group and as the
facilitator of the Business Councils. Anderson is a top-ranked
presenter and a highly-respected industry expert, consultant, and
instructor. He’s the former owner of Wagonwork Collision Centers in
Alexandria, Va. and is an Accredited Automotive Manager (AAM).
Anderson has served on many advisory boards and committees
including the ASE Test Review Committee and as Director of ASA
(Automotive Service Association) Operations Committee, among
others.
According to Anderson, the importance of researching OEM repair
procedures is one of the most critical aspects of collision repair.
Without the information on how to repair a vehicle safely and
properly, we are putting customers and ourselves at risk.
“ALLDATA was selected as a ‘Preferred Partner’ by the members of
the Collision Advice Legacy Group not only for its leadership
position in the automotive industry’s repair information sector,
but also for the technical innovation of its products and services,
including the award-winning ALLDATA Collision Advantage,” Anderson
said.
ALLDATA Collision Advantage combines ALLDATA Collision® with
Estimate Integration and works with all three major estimating
systems. It analyzes estimates in seconds to ensure that they’re
OEM-compliant, giving shops the precise information they need to
repair vehicles accurately and safely, according to manufacturer

delivers, all on one screen:
- OEM Alerts
- Access to OEM Procedures

‘Preferred Product’ provider,” said Satwinder Mangat, President of
ALLDATA. “Mike Anderson is one of the industry’s most respected
experts and has been a close ally of ALLDATA for many years. While
