CHICAGO, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. (CCC), a leading SaaS and AI platform powering the insurance economy, today announced that Crash Champions, one of the nation’s largest founder-led collision repair operators, has renewed its relationship with CCC and expanded its adoption of Mobile Jumpstart 2.0, CCC’s next-generation estimating solution powered by AI. The expanded adoption reflects Crash Champions continued focus on equipping team members with technology that simplifies routine tasks, supports high-quality repairs, and helps deliver a better customer experience.

A long-time CCC customer, Crash Champions was the first multi-shop operator to adopt Mobile Jumpstart in 2025. Today, Crash Champions continues to leverage the solution across their network of state-of-the-art locations. Mobile Jumpstart, on average, captures 84% of the final total repair bill in 70 seconds, compared with a process that would typically take 15 to 30 minutes.

Mobile Jumpstart 2.0 uses AI and computer vision to autonomously guide photo capture and label images in real time. This helps repairers create estimates faster and more consistently, reducing administrative burden so they can spend more time on repair quality, customer communication, and the expertise that defines the repair experience.

“At Crash Champions, putting people first means investing in tools that help our team members do their best work for customers,” said Crash Champions Chief Information Officer Mark Miller. “Mobile Jumpstart 2.0 is a strong example of AI being used where it can make a practical difference - inside the workflow our teams already use. By helping automate routine estimating tasks, CCC’s technology gives our teams more time to focus on repair quality, customer care, and the expertise our customers count on.”

The expanded use of Mobile Jumpstart 2.0 builds on Crash Champions’ broader adoption of CCC solutions designed to support its People First operating model. With CCC’s Consumer Financing powered by Sunbit, Crash Champions can provide eligible customers access to flexible payment options through its Fix Now Pay Later service. With CCC Build Sheets, team members can access VIN-specific vehicle information, including installed options, trim packages, paint codes, and parts data, directly within CCC ONE to support more complete repair plans from the start.

"Crash Champions has long been a technology leader in the collision repair industry, and this renewal reflects a steadfast commitment to empowering people through innovation," said Mark Fincher, Vice President, Product Management at CCC. "From AI-powered estimating to solutions that simplify research and support customers throughout the repair journey, CCC's technology is designed to help repair professionals spend less time on administrative work and more time delivering exceptional outcomes. We're excited to continue supporting Crash Champions as they expand their use of AI and digital workflows across their business."
