CARS of WI Helps Members Improve
Their Safety Practices
By David Kendziorski, WICAR Program Manager
Our workers are exposed to many potential safety hazards.
While strains, sprains, bruises, and cuts may be our most
common hazards, I believe that fires and forklift accidents
pose our most dangerous risks. As many of you know, we
have had several serious fires within the past few years, usually related to gasoline fumes or spillage. In 2013, a Wisconsin auto recycler was killed in a forklift rollover accident. We
can do a much better job of using safe practices.
A new Wisconsin Safety Compliance Manual is available to
all CARS of WI members to help improve your employee
safety practices and comply with OSHA regulations. The
Manual addresses about 20 safety regulations that most
commonly apply to auto recyclers. Each section briefly describes the regulation, explains how to comply, and provides
all the documentation that you will need – including sample
and fill-in-the-blank plans or reports, inspection forms, and
training records. A DVD is included, and the documents
are provided as Word files, so you can easily fill out the
documents with your company-specific information. In a
few short hours, you can develop a written Safety Program
for your company that is compliant with OSHA regulations
and, most importantly, helps ensure that your employees go
home healthy and safe each night.
Some of the safety topics addressed include fire prevention,
lockout/tagout for equipment maintenance, forklift training, airbag transportation training, eyewash stations, personal protective equipment, and electrical safety. Most of
the training you can do yourself, and those members who
participate in ARA University have access to excellent online
safety training. Safety training is also offered at the Annual
Convention – don’t miss the outstanding forklift operation
training provided by Paul Secker from SAS Forks.
About half of the CARS of WI members participate in the
WICAR program. WICAR members receive recognition for
meeting stringent safety and environmental practices, and each
WICAR member benefits from onsite assistance each year.
The Wisconsin Safety Compliance Manual is available to all
CARS of WI members for free. Simply contact Sandy Dumke
at (715)853-6337 or [email protected] and request your
free copy. Should you have any questions about safety practices or regulations, you may contact me at (414)943-1773
or [email protected].
Safety Pays!
Good Business Sense
The National Safety Council estimates a worker injury
with NO lost time costs an average of $7,000.
At a profit margin of 5%, an additional $140,000 in
sales would be needed to recover the cost of that injury.

Bob Remington - Remington Auto
Secretary of the C.A.R.S. Warranty Group
Bob will be presenting information on the C.A.R.S. warranty
program and training. All C.A.R.S. members are invited and
highly encouraged to attend this seminar. This is the only legal way in Wisconsin to sell labor warranties with your parts.
You will be surprised to know how easy it is to sell warranties
and give your customers the chance to add a labor warranty
to their parts warranty. Customers want the peace of mind
to know their used part is covered and it also has the labor
covered. All C.A.R.S. members need to give this Warranty
Program another look or a new look if they want to increase
their bottom line and allow their customers the security that
their parts have a good warranty that includes labor.
Our mission is to help provide a future for the collision repair industry. The achievement of this mission will require a
shared effort by WACTAL staff, officers, directors, members,
elected officials, and consumers working together for continual improvement. The organization, member programs, and
educational opportunities offered to WACTAL members will
reflect the skills and knowledge needed to work successfully
in our changing world.

WACTAL was formed in 1971 by a group of collision shop
owners with common concerns regarding operating their
businesses and the collision repair industry.

Cheap Insurance – The Least Expensive?
By Wells Fargo Insurance, Bill Vellin
The old adage “the cheapest insurance isn’t always the least
expensive” has never been more true than it is today. The
ultra-competitive nature of the insurance marketplace today has lead to insurance companies offering many coverages that were not offered in the past, as well as adding
exclusions and limitations that take out coverages that you
thought you had. The smart insurance buyer knows how to
read his policy and where to look to find the coverages he
or she knows is needed to protect his business.
The policies written for todays automotive recycling industry
are particularly tricky to construct and read due to the many
different and diverse exposures found in the typical recycling
operation today. These exposures can range from dismantling and recycling cars and trucks to the sale of new and
used parts to the sale of used cars and/or trucks, in addition
to U-Pull-Your-Own yards and the recycling of scrap metal.
These coverages all have idiosyncrasies that , if not covered
properly, could mean the difference between a claim being
paid or denied outright. In addition, each of these exposures
have different coverages including but not limited to Property
, General Liability, and auto that all could contain exclusions
or limitations that can render your perceived coverage very
restrictive or make it very broad, depending on the carrier
and the policy forms. For example, just a simple property
policy for a typical recycler can be a trap when you think you
are covered very well. That is because most property policies
are written with a coinsurance clause. If the property policy,
for example, has been issued with a 90% coinsurance clause,
that means that the value you have your building insured for
has to be at least 90% of what it would cost to REPLACE
after a loss. As an example, you have your building insured
for $900,000 at 90% coinsurance. A fire damages one portion of the building and the estimate to repair it is $300,000.
AFTER the loss, the insurance company will come in and do
a replacement cost calculation using a normally accepted
replacement cost analysis. Let’s say, for the sake of argument,
that they come up with a replacement cost of $1,200,000.
The coinsurance clause will be enforced in this case, since you
were required to have the building insured for a minimum of
$1,080,000(90% of $1,200,000). However, you only have
the bujilding insured for $900,000, which is 83% of what
you were required to have it insured for per the coinsurance
clause ($900,000 /$1,080,000 = 83%). Therefore, you will
receive only 83% of the $300,000 fire loss or $250,000 minus your deductible. You are not going to be a happy insured
in this case, which is a perfect example of a situation where
the cheapest insurance is not always the least expensive.
Another prime example is in the garage liability section of the
policy. Many recyclers perform mechanical repairs on customers vehicles. That means they could have several customers vehicles on their premises – sometimes overnight. This
creates a “bailees exposure” for customers vehicles in your
care, custody or control. If damage occurs to a customers
vehicle while in your care, custody or control, , you want to
be able to assure your customer that you have coverage for
the damage to his vehicle.However, even though you have
a garagekeepers liability policy, you do not necessarily have
coverage for your customers vehicle. That is because garagekeepers liability can be written in a number of different ways
– from “legal liability” which covers damage to your customers vehicles that you be LEGALLY OBLIGATED to pay (ie.
Damage caused only by your negligence) to “direct primary
coverage, which covers just about anything that happens to
a customers vehicle. Quite obviously, Legal Liability is much
cheaper than Direct Primary. However, it may cost you much
more in lost customers than you saved in premium for going
with the cheaper option – especially if you are not aware of
what you are buying. Again here, the cheapest option will
probably turn out to be more expensive in the long run.
It is more important than ever to find an insurance agent that
is willing to spend time teaching you to become a better and
smarter buyer. Once you learn to be a smarter buyer, you
will not only save money in the long run, but you will sleep
better knowing your business is covered properly.

By Greg Hubbard, HWZ The Capitol Column - 8/20/2015
The results of the latest Marquette Law School Poll show
that Governor Walker’s job approval rating has fallen below
40 percent. According to the poll, the governor’s job approval rating has fallen to 39 percent with 57 percent of
registered voters saying they disapprove of how he is handling his job as governor. In comparison, in the previous
poll conducted in April, Governor Walker’s approval rating
among registered voters was 41 percent with 56 percent
disapproving of his performance.
The poll interviewed 802 registered voters by landline and
cell phone from August 13th-16th. The margin of error for
the full sample is +/- 4.3 percentage points. For Republicans
and Independents who lean toward the Republican Party, the
sample size is 334. For Democrats and independents who
lean toward the Democratic Party, the sample size is 396.
Other results from the poll include:
State Conditions
Of those polled, 46 percent say Wisconsin is headed in the
right direction while 52 percent say the state has gotten off
on the wrong track. In April, 43 percent said the state was
headed in the right direction and 53 percent said the state
was on the wrong track.
In regards to job creation, 50 percent say the state is lagging
behind other states in creating jobs, 36 percent say it is creating jobs at about the same rate as others and 9 percent say
the state is growing jobs faster than other states. In April, 52
percent said Wisconsin was lagging, 34 said it was adding
jobs at the same rate as others and 8 percent said the state
was adding jobs faster.
After the completion of the 2015-2017 budget, 41 percent
of those polled say the state budget is in worse shape than
a few years ago while 36 percent say it is better and 19 percent say it is about the same. In April, 38 percent said the
budget was worse, 33 percent said better and 25 percent
said it was about the same.
15
Political Issues
When asked whether the university system could absorb the
$250 million cut that was approved in the budget, 38 percent of those polled say it could while 58 percent say the cut
would reduce educational quality. However, 52 percent say
the university could absorb the extension of a tuition freeze
on in-state students, while 44 percent say this would reduce
educational quality.
More than half of participants, 52 percent, say they agree
with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in favor of legalizing
same-sex marriage throughout the country, while 40 percent
say they disagree with the ruling. Among Republicans and
independents who lean Republican, 25 percent agree with
the ruling while 68 percent disagree. Among Democrats and
independents who lean Democratic, 76 percent agree with
the ruling and 18 percent disagree. For independents who
lean toward neither party, 52 percent agree with the ruling
while 31 percent disagree with it.
Presidential Race
