  • The Glass Gap: Training, ADAS, and Shop Readiness

    The Glass Gap: Training, ADAS, and Shop Readiness
    Mar 10 2026
    Welcome to The Collision Vision, driven by Autobody News. I'm your host, Cole Strandberg. Today we're talking about a piece of the collision ecosystem that impacts safety, cycle time, customer experience, and revenue — glass repair and training — with a guest who's become one of the brightest leaders in that space. Joining us is Shauna Davis, President and Founder of Kaizen Glass Solutions. Shauna came into collision through tooling and training for glass work, recognized a critical gap in how technicians were being prepared for today's tech-intensive vehicles, and built a business on continuous improvement — that's what Kaizen means — to train collision centers and elevate glass repair as a strategic capability. We'll explore Shauna's story, why the industry has a training shortage around glass, how that intersects with ADAS and calibration, and how operators can think about glass work as a real part of their business moving forward. Let's dive in. Connect with Shauna: Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shauna-davis-91808b24/ Email: shauna@kaizenglasssolutions.com https://www.kaizenglasssolutions.com/

  • Tech to Scale: Improving Intake and Growth Readiness

    Tech to Scale: Improving Intake and Growth Readiness
    Feb 24 2026

    Welcome back to The Collision Vision Roundtable. I'm Cole Strandberg, and as part of our new format, we're unpacking the key themes from my recent conversation with Sebastian Torres of CARSTAR Torcam Group.

    Sebastian shared how rethinking intake, by leveraging mobile inspection and capture estimating, allowed his team to deliver estimates before customers leave, increase efficiency, and lay the foundation for smart, sustainable growth.

    Today I'm joined by our permanent panelists, Erin Solis and Sheryl Driggers, along with returning guest Bill Brower of Solera. We're going deeper — not just on the technology itself, but on what it really takes to build the operational foundation for growth, scale it across locations, and make sure tech adoption actually translates into better performance and profitability.

  • From Intake Bottleneck to Instant Estimates: CARSTAR Torcam's Tech Playbook

    From Intake Bottleneck to Instant Estimates: CARSTAR Torcam's Tech Playbook
    Feb 10 2026

    Welcome back to The Collision Vision, driven by Autobody News. I'm your host, Cole Strandberg.

    Today I'm joined by Sebastian Torres, a sharp family-business operator leading CARSTAR Torcam Group in Canada. When Sebastian took the reins, he challenged legacy habits and leaned into tech—adding Solera's photo-capture estimating and mobile inspection so customers can leave with an estimate in hand. The result? Faster intake, cleaner repair plans, better documentation, and a noticeable lift in profitability.

    We'll unpack the workflow changes at the front counter, the ROI math behind instant estimates, and—importantly—the leadership side: how to build the foundation for growth and know when the timing is right to scale across locations. Let's get into it.
