Autobody News recently featured SCA Claim Services and our Nationwide ADP Director Ron Trozzo regarding how SCA is working to improve the gap in cycle time and repair costs between EVs and ICE vehicles.
Trozzo, formerly of Tesla Insurance, is helping SCA to catalyze this initiative toward helping insurers cut loss costs, body shops turn EV repairs around faster, and customers get back on the road sooner.

From the article: (Trozzo says) his “immediate goal is to streamline processes and foster innovation, while my long-term vision includes setting new industry standards in EV claims and collision management.”
SCA has also developed a dedicated EV repair estimation program to eliminate wasteful spending on repairs due to missed damages and unnecessary charges, and has a dedicated team training and supporting its EV appraisers to ensure damage appraisals are done correctly the first time.
We have devoted countless hours to understanding and properly estimating EVs using the latest guides and information available from OEMs.
SCA Claim Services’ industry-leading approach to EV claims:
- Prevents unnecessary labor, calibrations, and parts costs to manage loss costs
- Ensures appraisals are performed according to OEM guidelines to avoid supplements
- Avoids total or part-out claim resolutions whenever possible
This is because, at SCA, we use:
- EV-specific guidelines built working hand-in-hand with EV manufacturers
- EV-specific training to put EV experts in the field, as well as EV-certified quality control and support from a centralized, dedicated EV team
- EV-specific network of EV-certified repair shops with direct access to OEM parts
