I’m active in two forums collisionrepairmag.com/forums and refinishnetwork.info/index.php/Discussion-Forum that talks about general activities and happenings going on in the auto collision industry.
These well administered, round about and general forums have day to day discussions on subjects such as what’s the best sandpaper to use, polishing tips, and good auto paint guns to purchase or they get a little more in-depth with topics like insurance relationships and other surface non substance topics. I‘ve been getting non-substance conversation every day for the last twenty years of my work life, from industry magazines and now on online web sites and forums.
That’s fine if you have no real agenda or purpose with concerns to the direction and internal structure of the Canadian auto collision industry. Listen to any industry discussion or read an article you might start to realize the issues are many and the solutions exist in denial.
It is this denial what I’m looking for genuine, real and no holds bard industry forum discussions on. Where the discussion headlines have some general over tones but lead into more formable industry dialog. You might say triple xxx rated dissuasions because the content will be so humbling, it will forgo industry commerce barriers.
It might have been naive of me to think just because I signed up as a member on an online industry forum that the replies to my post would have a little more internal substance that affects techs and other industry participants. It goes to show that the concerns and daily lives of techs are not the true concerns of the industry in less it relates to cash flow. This in part is one of the reasons why I’ve been unable to garner any kind of substance response to my posts on commercially run avenues.
Insurance, repairers, suppliers all have separate mission agendas and representation but are part of one industry; the same industry techs are committing to daily. I believe that the time has come to showcase collision techs creative abilities as well as their challenges they face in a changing society.
I’ve decided to create a forum http://dontek.forumer.com that’s structured around techs and their professional world. The purpose of this forum is to empower techs to build a more unified auto collision industry. A forum created by a tech for techs.
