BEDFORD, TX — Two CBS programs are scheduled to address the insurer-owned body shops issue this week.
The first program is slated to air today, Wednesday, Feb. 11, on the CBS Evening News during its “Eye on America” segment. Ron Pyle, ASA’s president and chief staff executive, was recently interviewed for the segment at ASA’s headquarters in Bedford, Texas.
Pyle will provide follow-up coverage on this issue when he is interviewed again by CBS during an appearance on The Early Show Thursday, Feb. 12.
“I applaud CBS for bringing broader attention to this important issue,” said Pyle. “ASA opposes insurance companies having an ownership interest in automotive repair facilities and views such interest as being in direct conflict with consumers’ right to choose. Placing this issue in the national spotlight can only be beneficial to independent repairers and the consumers they serve.”
The CBS Evening News airs at 6:30 p.m. EST. The Early Show airs at 7 a.m. EST. Be sure to check local listings for show times.
