Subject: The point
How do you think they select these shops; by the quality of the work or the level of expertise?
NOT.
It is all about who will "get in bed" with Progressive.
Kickbacks and incentives; that's the ticket.
Cut the parts prices to X% over cost, reduce the labor rate in exchange for guaranteed volume, use LKQ parts instead of OEM whenever and where ever possible.
Before patenting the term "concierge" they should have looked into its meaning.
When you seek the assistance of the concierge for dinner reservations, he usually doesn't dictate where you eat.
