Oldsmar, Florida, Web-Est, LLC announced today the launching of the Consumer Repair Network (CRN). The program establishes a national network of body shops that are marketed directly to consumers seeking collision repair shops on the Internet. Each collision repair shop has taken a "Consumer Friendly Pledge"; pledging to the consumer they do not work for the insurance company but work for the consumer. The pledge ensures the repair shop will not compromise the quality of a repair to satisfy cost savings required by some insurance companies Direct Repair Programs or to pay a commission/discount to a third party claims administrator.

The network is not "anti-insurance company", however its network shops remain independent from outside influences that may have a competing interest with the consumer. The goal of the Consumer Repair Network is to provide a quality repair and a reasonable price.

Network member shops are provided a web site as part of their membership in the network and their service area is included in the database of the CRN web site. The Consumer Repair Network web site has been optimized for many of the leading search engines on the Internet, such as Yahoo!®, GoogleTM and others. The network site has many helpful tips for consumers in choosing an independent collision repair shop.

The Consumer Repair Network is part of Web-Est's Premier Service.
