Starting in 2000 STORM began experimenting with consulting on a variety of issues within the collision/insurance industry. They found that there was a definite need for industry experts who knew both the repair process but also the insurance process. Changes were taking place within the industry at such a rapid pace that the necessity of outside sources who kept up with these changes not only by education but by being active within the collision industry.
