Meeting Minutes

  • Antitrust Accepted

  • Meeting Minutes Accepted

  • Meetings for 2022

    • Everyone likes the current scheduled time, so a new request for 2022 will be sent.

  • ARA Glossary Terms Document

    • Don’s homework was not completed, even with the extra week before meeting.

    • Sandy requested that we not review the document because it is still a work in progress.

  • Pain Points Mentioned in Emerging Tech Committee

    • Nice to have would be for Insurance information providing Salvage and Recyclers the estimate that shows the damage to the vehicle, so they know what parts may or may not be of value on the vehicle.

      • There are hurdles for the insurance companies that do not track recalls and they do not have the authority to pass owner information to other parties in the industry.

    • Salvage can expedite a total loss if they know what parts may be of value and what parts are not of use because the recall was not corrected prior to crash.

      • At this time, there are services such as CarFax that can be used to get the history of a vehicle.

      • OEMs provide API to pull recall information from a VIN, however, the data coming back from the OEM is not standard and something that different vendors have an issue implementing into the system.

    • The State of Vehicle API would be nice to get parts that are good and bad.

    • Insurance Company would prefer a vehicle that is total loss not be sent to a bodyshop, so if the use of telematics would provide a total loss estimate, then the vehicle could be sent to Salvage before sent to shop.

    • Information Providers such as CCC and Mitchell pulls the VIN today, do they check Recall information?

      • The Estimating systems know if a recall exist on a vehicle but does not know if it is repaired.

    • Blockchain will keep history of all of the recall information and when it is fixed.

  • Response to Pain Points

    • There are new tools available to help with the Estimate and parts, they are just not widely used at this time.

      • Artificial Estimates

      • Reverse Estimates show what parts are still good

      • CarFax has recall search where you can send a batch of VIN numbers and receive the recall information.

      • The Estimate Providers are including recall information in the estimate when it is a written estimate.

      • Car Part and IA may be able to pull this information.

    • The OEM APIs being available but not standard is not a concern at this time.

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday
