As I work with customers pursuing OEM certifications, I often leave them with homework after my first visit.

It seems that it is always a point of contention between third-party payers and the repair facility, with the biggest discussion surrounding the need and who should be doing it. I hope that throughout this article I can offer some clarification by providing facts and eliminating opinions.
