- **Event Description**: WMABA February 2026 Member MeetingAbout this EventJoin WMABA for an important membership meeting to kick off the year! As you know, the collision repair landscape has shifted beneath our feet. As we navigate the marketplace downturn of 2025, many shops are finding that the "old way" of doing business is no longer sustainable. We invite you to join us for a critical discussion: “The Costs of Not Getting Paid: Changing Tactics in the Changing Marketplace.”Why this meeting is vital right now:-The Insurer Pivot: With claim volumes cooling, insurers are leveraging the "slow shop" environment to harden their stances, rolling back reimbursements on items that were standard just a year ago.-The ROI Crisis: When your current repairs don't generate a true return on investment, the damage goes deeper than your bank account. It forces a dangerous cycle of "defensive cutting".-The Future at Risk: We will discuss how suppressed reimbursements are directly strangling shop reinvestment. In an era where retooling and training requirements change annually—rather than once a decade—the inability to fund apprenticeships and new technology isn't just a hurdle; it’s an existential threat.The "Cost of Not Getting Paid" isn't just lost revenue—it's the loss of your shop’s future readiness.Panelists Kris Burton, WMABA President and Rosslyn Auto Body; Barry Dorn, Dorn’s Body &amp; Paint; and, Tracy Dombrowski, Collision Advice will be diving into the specific tactics needed to protect your margins, justify your tooling investments, and maintain your commitment to technician development despite carrier pressure. Audience participation is highly encouraged!Meeting Details:- Date: February 26, 2026- Time: 6:30p- Location: Rosslyn Auto Body, Alexandria, VADon't let a temporary downturn dictate your long-term viability. Let’s discuss how to pivot your tactics and take back control of your business.FOOD &amp; NETWORKING: WMABA Membership meetings are a great way to learn and network with your local market colleagues.
