CRM Collision Index June 2026 Results

The margin pressure your shop is feeling right now isn't just you.

The CRM Collision Index June 2026 results are out, surveying Canadian collision shop owners and managers on where profitability stands and what's squeezing it. The short version: pressure is up, and the causes aren't mysterious — costs are climbing, cycle times are stretched, and the operational gaps that were easy to ignore in a good year are impossible to hide now.

Here's what that means if you're the person responsible for how customer data flows through your operation. When profitability gets tight, every dropped follow-up, every missed touchpoint, every job that fell through a crack in your workflow costs you more than it did last year. A CRM that makes you work around it instead of with it isn't a minor inconvenience anymore — it's a direct hit to the bottom line your boss is already watching.

You've probably already tried the fix. New platform, consultant engagement, internal workaround stitched together with hope. Each one bought you six months before the same problems came back wearing different software.

The shops that come through margin crunches intact aren't the ones with the fanciest tools — they're the ones whose operations actually run the way they were designed to.
