National AutoBody Research is a small, Tucson-based firm operating in the auto collision repair sector as a research, technology, and consulting provider. It pursues free-market dynamics in labor-rate pricing within the industry. The company developed the Variable Rate System, a set of online tools that helps shops gauge market rates, calculate their costs of doing business, and set fair labor charges to sustain profitable operation. Subscribing shops using VRS have increased their labor rates, aligning pricing with market conditions and improving profitability. The VRS aggregates labor-rate data from 40 states and is positioned as an independent, third-party source of real-time national data for the collision repair market, with the aim of becoming the industry standard for market-based rates. NABR has continued to expand its software offerings, and in March 2025 announced a new version of its BillableGenie online software.
