(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 17, 2009 ) Kirkland, WA – Mike Tompkins is the owner and operator of Collision on Wheels, a mobile auto body shop serving consumers and businesses in the Seattle and Greater Eastside, Washington area. The national franchise services a niche market of consumers who don’t have time to take their vehicle to a body shop for small collision repairs and who are reluctant to make a claim to insurance companies.

This trend is cited in a collision industry research study conducted by the consulting firm, Frost & Sullivan. The study found that consumers are becoming more reluctant to report small collisions due to the concern that premiums would increase. The study identified “cosmetic repair” as a growth area of the industry that falls into two categories. Consumers who need a quick repair because they plan on selling their car and those who have been in a minor accident and prefer to pay out of pocket rather than file a claim.

Collision on Wheels mobile auto body shop is positioned to meet this demand in the auto collision repair industry. Their mobile approach saves consumers and business owners time and money as minor scratch and dent repairs typically cost less than an insurance deductible.

In addition to providing a great service, Mike Tompkins provides the following tips for consumers to preserve their auto paint finish and resale value of their vehicle:

• Take care of any damage larger than a credit card prior to lease turn in.
• Wash and vacuum your vehicle once a week to prolong the life of the paint and interior.
• Immediately wash your vehicle if bugs stick to your cars’ paint finish. Bugs contain acid that can eat away clear coat within 24 hours.
• Keep a cover on your dash in the summertime to prevent heat cracks.
• If you don’t have a garage, park in shady areas. Sun damages the paint finish of vehicles over time.

“Consumers who follow these simple guidelines will keep their vehicles looking good and preserve the resale value as well,” said Tompkins.
