The Collision Collective

04/03/2026

Today we celebrate the launch of The Collision Collective.
It's time!

Independent repairers built this industry. They are the ones that deserve the best deals on the best products. The Collective is committed to fighting for the best discounts and rebates for independent shops of all sizes.

No rules or barriers. If you have shop, you have a place in The Collective.
2 months FREE.

The team of The Collective will use two months of your data to show you what you saved or received in rebates. If it does not provide enough value, you opt out.

Isn't that the way everything should be in this industry?

Listen to the video for all the details!
