<p>In this episode, Sam Street interviews Matt Hobbs, CEO of the Motor Trades Association of Australia, about the Code of Conduct review.</p> <p>We start with getting an understanding of why the Code of Conduct review is being conducted with issues surrounding governance structures, sanctions and penalties, dispute resolutions, and unclear assessment times. Matt shares his experience in what caused delays in the review, the importance of liaising with the Australian Motor Body Repairers Association (AMBRA), and how industry and government have an invested interest in negotiating an outcome that improves the dispute resolution process. Matt also gives us an insight into how they will launch this review, the feedback process that it will undergo, and how they will find a suitable and truly independent reviewer. </p> <p>We wrap up by discussing concerns surrounding insurance mergers and the dominance of large insurers leading to a lack of competition.</p> <p> </p> <p>Links & Resources:</p> <p>Review of the Motor Vehicle Insurance and Repair Industry Code of Conduct</p> <p>www.mviricode.com.au/ </p> <p>Whole industry collaboration on code</p> <p> www.paintandpanel.com.au/news/news/whole-industry-collaboration-on-code</p> <p>Industry consultation on draft code to open in early March</p> <p> www.paintandpanel.com.au/news/news/industry-consultation-on-draft-code-to-open-in-early-march </p> <p>RAA sells its insurance book to Allianz</p> <p> www.paintandpanel.com.au/news/news/raa-sells-its-insurance-book-to-allianz</p> <p>ACCC calls for submissions on insurance take over deals</p> <p> www.paintandpanel.com.au/news/news/accc-calls-for-submissions-on-insurance-take-over-deals</p> <p>MTAA says no to insurance mergers</p> <p> www.paintandpanel.com.au/news/news/mtaa-says-no-to-insurance-mergers</p> <p>------------------------------</p> <p>The PKN Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of Paint and Panel, owned and published by Yaffa Media.</p> <p> </p> <p>Hosts: Sam Street & Grant McHerron</p> <p>Producer: Steve Visscher</p> <p>Paint and Panel - © 2025</p>

<p>In this episode, Sam Street interviews Steve O'Brien from iBodyshop about how artificial intelligence can help collision repairers<br /> <br /> We get an overview of how AI has been revolutionised following the improvement of processing power and increased accessibility to data sets, especially with the use of the cloud. The discussion explores the use of AI to assess the damage on vehicles, whether it should be written off or repaired, answering customer queries without having to wait in queue for support, and the likelihood of AI undertaking ‘boring’ jobs rather than more dynamic tasks. Steve shares how his company utilises AI to conduct progression tests and rolling out an estimation tool, as well as their launch in the UK.<br /> <br /> We wrap up by reviewing how this can help staff to focus their efforts to improve their service, the increased use of AI in insurance, and how estimations vary from international markets utilising similar technologies.<br /> <br /> Links & Resources:<br /> iBodyshop<br /> <a title="http://www.ibodyshop.com" href= "http://www.ibodyshop.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex= "0">www.ibodyshop.com</a><br /> <br /> AI for the boring stuff<br /> <a title= "http://www.paintandpanel.com.au/news/news/ai-for-the-boring-stuff" href= "http://www.paintandpanel.com.au/news/news/ai-for-the-boring-stuff" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex= "1">www.paintandpanel.com.au/news/news/ai-for-the-boring-stuff</a> <br /> <br /> ------------------------------<br /> The PKN Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of Paint and Panel, owned and published by Yaffa Media.<br /> <br /> Hosts: Sam Street & Grant McHerron<br /> Producer: Steve Visscher<br /> <br /> Paint and Panel - © 2025</p>
