HIGH VISIBILITY
For any direct repair program to be successful, the shop must attract a majority of its customers with a minimum of objections. At C & W we have simply outdistanced the competition. Every city has one - the best restaurant, the best grocery store, the best place to shop. Very simply put, we are the best place for auto body repairs in the area and as such have marketed ourselves very successfully through newspaper advertising, direct mail, several billboards and several television commercials. We feel that this advertising campaign creates the perfect bridge to overcome the unknown feeling experienced by today's insureds. Advertising and visibility can defuse most any objections that can happen in some referral programs when a less visible repair facility is chosen.
