Collision Week has reported that efforts by Autobody News columnist Toby Chess have led to GEICO issuing an order to inform its staff of the companywide policy change this week citing the recent industry dialog surrounding the quality of aftermarket bumper reinforcements.

The company communication states: "As of today, and until further notice, companywide procedure will be to specify only new OEM or recycled OEM bumper reinforcements, absorbers and brackets. It is important that this message be clearly communicated to everyone on your staff."

For background on what led to this directive, see Toby Chess column, Hey Toby 20, in Autobody News February edition.
