Vehicle manufacturers regularly publish Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), which are updates to repair procedures, techniques, part numbers, equipment and materials, as well as repair information for known issues reported from repair facilities and customers.

Without prior knowledge of these updates, you and your team may service or repair a vehicle with outdated information. Or you may be chasing a problem not even related to the collision or your repair. Researching TSBs prior to production can save your technicians many hours of valuable production time and will ultimately increase your overall cycle times.
