Ponca City, Okla.--PBE Solutions and Lord Corp. are offering collision repair shops an extra incentive to sign up for PBEPRO 4.0, the newest version of the most comprehensive database on more than 40,000 PBE products.
Lord Fusor Automotive Aftermarket Adhesive representatives will offer a special group of products at no charge to collision repair shops that sign up for a free PBEPRO 4.0 Premium service. The offer expires Aug. 1.
While the basic service is free for collision repair shops, PBEPRO Premium gives bodyshops unlimited live chat and phone support for six months at no cost, a value of $199.
Lord Fusor’s line of automotive repair adhesives, sealers, foams, and specialty products are available from your local PBE jobber and are approved by major OEMs including Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Volvo, Mack, Volkswagen, and Nissan.
PBEPRO is known as the Google of the collision repair industry, Lord Corp. officials said. Since its launch in 2003, PBEPRO has gained the trust of more than 5,000 PBE warehouse, jobber, and end-users, which have made pbepro.com one of the most visited Web sites in the automotive aftermarket.

During an average workweek, more than 12,000 computers log on to PBEPRO to access product specifications, MSDS sheets, parts breakdowns, and technical bulletins without the need to hunt through a catalog, Lord officials said.
“We’re extremely excited about the changes we’re bringing to the industry with PBEPRO 4.0,” said Christian Hassold, COO of PBE Solutions. “Now every partner in the paint, body, and equipment segment of the automotive aftermarket will be able to use PBEPRO 4.0 to operate more efficiently.”
