Summary
Amends the Automotive Collision Repair Act. Provides that motor vehicle collision repair facilities shall disclose in their estimates to consumers the possible use of an estimating system, in addition to other industry standards, when determining labor costs and repair procedures (rather than labor costs only). Prohibits repairers from allowing a party who is outside the contract of repair to influence or mandate the method of estimating labor costs or repair procedures. Adds language providing that a knowing violation of the Act constitutes a violation of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Deletes provisions providing that a persistent practice or pattern of conduct at a single location in violation of the Act constitutes a violation of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Provides that all remedies, penalties, and authority available to the Attorney General and the several State's Attorneys for the enforcement of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act shall be available and apply to all conduct in violation of the Automotive Collision Repair Act (rather than to conduct that is knowing, persistent, or indicates a pattern).
