I want to throw something out there and see what comes back. I have recently encountered an issue affecting many body shop businesses across the country, they are currently all being denied payment for necessary safety calibrations, that are required to put a safe vehicle back on the road. My question is who regulates this being done or for a better sense, what organization governs that this is a safety requirement that absolutely must be done when required and must also be paid for by either the insurance company's loss claim or the customer paying for the damage. I don't understand how any insurance company can deny this to be paid for as a part of the collision loss claim. They're blatantly telling the shops to collect the money from the customer? Isn't that illegal? Who governs this? Is it the BAR? or the NHTSA? Is it OSHA? Who governs safety and its requirements in the USA? Now this is the deep dark rabbit hole... I have found nothing to this effect. All that I can find out there is, that these organizations I mentioned earlier only have regulations and requirements for the OE manufacturers to have these safety items installed on their vehicles. And THAT IS IT! I'm curious to know what the future holds, and who will champion this into reality. Will SCRS carry the torch on this one?
