"For the past two years, ... consumers have been steered to BAR to determine if their cars had been properly fixed by collision-repair shops across the state.

Determine if the following two critiques of the BAR study are valid or invalid: The article continues, "Officials in the auto-body repair industry blasted the report. 'This is not a true random inspection but a complaint-driven inspection,' said David McClune, chief of the California Autobody Association. The cars belong to disgruntled drivers, he claimed. 'The results of this study can't be projected upon the industry as whole,' said McClune."
