Quality Claims Solutions, a provider of value added services to insurance carriers, has announced the release of AutoBodyAlliance.com during NACE 2009 , the international Autobody Congress & Exposition.

By providing an online search tool, the AutoBody Alliance program is designed to assist auto repair facilities by providing an online marketing channel to consumers, as well as the option to participate in nationwide managed direct repair networks for smaller and/or regional insurance carriers.

The AutoBody Alliance program allows repair facilities to maintain an online profile where consumers are able to see photos of the facility, shop amenities, directory of services, certifications, map with directions, link to their website, schedule repairs, send questions and much more. Repair facilities will also have the option to apply online for certification if they choose, allowing them to transmit critical claims data to respective insurance carriers and obtain prime exposure in search results on the AutoBodyAlliance.com website.

Insurance carriers can utilise direct repair network, allowing them to focus more resources on core initiatives, while benefiting from a maintained source of repair facilities. Carriers are able to interact directly with shops electronically through the AutoBodyAlliance.com website.
