“The severity of collisions have definitely increased. We’re seeing a lot more cars total,” Hood said.“In 2022 we were probably handling every week probably almost double the customers,” he said.“Normally we carry about 3 to 4 weeks backlog. Right now we’re about 3 months,” Hood said.However, they’re also bumping into another challenge.
