What is all the aluminum panels mean for the auto body repair shops and insurance costs?
It's big. Can't repair an aluminum car in Owen Sound. Needs to go to KW or GTA. Needs an entire aluminum shop all with special tools, welders ,,,, the list is endless. That's $600 in transportation costs just to start.
Currently, Ins. Co. are sucking up the extra costs, more or less, for the Jags, etc. However, if mainstream vehicles like the F150 come more common, expect a hefty surcharge.
