Mobileye led the group with a 2.6% bump, but most of these stocks are still deep in the hole for the year despite today's green.

🎯 Carrier of the Week
Progressive
Progressive is cutting calibration sublets. Here's the cite that holds.
What they're cutting
Flagging calibration sublet invoices as 'not included' without OEM procedure review
Denying or discounting pre- and post-scan line items as 'part of diagnostic time'
Pushing back on R&R time tied to sensor access required for calibration setup
Rebuttal that's flipping it
OEM position statements from GM and Ford, reinforced at the SCRS OEM Summit this month, confirm that pre-scan, post-scan, and calibration are discrete, required procedures with their own documented labor and cannot be bundled into general diagnostic time. Pull the OEM repair procedure page for the specific vehicle, attach it to the supplement, and tie every line item directly to that language.
▶ Play this weekOn your next Progressive denial, attach the OEM calibration procedure page with the specific line items highlighted, write 'required per OEM procedure' next to each disputed line, and resubmit as a formal supplement before accepting any revised offer
Good morning, {{firstName}}.
GM and Ford's active safety engineers are speaking at the SCRS OEM Summit next month. This is the technical detail your team needs before the next ADAS calibration walk lands in your bay.
TRAINING
1. GM, Ford engineers reveal ADAS repair procedures at SCRS OEM Summit
At SEMA next month, active safety engineers from General Motors and Ford will explain the engineering decisions behind collision repair for ADAS systems. This is the third and final session of SCRS's 2026 OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit. Direct access to OEM engineers on why a calibration matters and what happens when it's missed. Worth blocking time to attend or get the debrief.
Mark says: Send your lead tech and estimator to SEMA for this session; bring back OEM guidance to back up every supplement.
2. APCIA: vehicle repair costs up 34% as ADAS complexity drives claims
The insurance industry's own trade group reports repair costs have risen 34 percent, with ADAS technology, complex repairs, and higher parts prices as the main drivers. This matters because it's insurers admitting the cost of what they're trying to suppress. Use this APCIA data in your next supplement denial rebuttal.
Mark says: Print this APCIA report and use it to defend your labor rates on the next ACV pushback.
3. SCRS launches Skillveri simulator rental for member upskilling
SCRS introduced a member benefit giving shops access to Skillveri simulator rentals for technician training. This gets your team hands-on practice with ADAS systems and calibration workflows without the capital hit of owning the equipment. Good option if you're staffing up for Q4 and Q1 volume.
Mark says: Check SCRS membership; if you're a member, pull the Skillveri program info and schedule tech time before year-end.
4. ADAS Assist launches calibration verification platform for missed repairs
Built by collision and calibration professionals, ADAS Assist is designed to catch calibrations that were missed after a repair. The platform closes the accuracy gap that often goes undetected until a customer encounters a safety failure. This is a backstop tool for QC and compliance documentation.
Mark says: Add ADAS Assist verification to your post-repair checklist; flag missed calibrations before the customer drives off.
5. CCC in advanced sale talks; private equity circles collision software
CCC Intelligent Solutions is in advanced acquisition talks with GTCR and Elliott Investment Management. This follows a separate class action lawsuit alleging CCC misused consumer personal data. The software landscape is consolidating again. Shops using CCC need to monitor this deal for possible platform changes or service disruptions.
Mark says: If you use CCC, document your current workflows now; prepare contingency if the software switches hands mid-year.
