This Week's Featured News Story
Pam Pierson along with her husband Mark Pierson (AASPI Secretary), owners of Princeton Auto Body, through persistent action was able to get State Farm to state in writing their change in policy on "clipping." Are hats go off to the Piersons for this work on behalf of the entire Illinois collision industry. Their work eliminates at least one insurer's (it has been reported that Allstate will follow suit) practice of writing for clips and thus further protect the consumer from improperly repaired cars!

AASPI has taken their work one step further by enjoing the services of Representative JoAnn Osmond in asking the Attorney General to provide a legal written opinion on clipping. Our goal is to eliminate this repair practice all together. Thank you Pam and Mark and also our thanks to State Farm for their positive action.
