The PART/OPS tab lets you to enter a
full range of options for collision parts;
part numbers, labor times and refinish
times. In the example, REPLACE OEM and
RIGHT were picked from drop lists. When
you select a repair area such as "FENDER"
(circled in red below), the PART field
displays a drop list of many of the common
parts for that area; just click
to select. These drop lists have many
default part names and you can customize
these lists to display the operations
and part names you use most. Then enter
basic labor, exterior and interior refinish
times from your data source. Click radio
buttons to choose premium paint operations
such as 2 tone, chip guard coat; even
blend time. Estimiser Pro will calculate
the correct amounts and overlaps for all
these options.
Note: Estimiser Pro
is an intermediate solution. As such,
it does not contain a database of all
vehicle parts, part numbers, prices, and
labor times. The positive side is that
you only pay once for the program. The
flip-side is that you need to maintain
a subscription to the collision guide
of your choice. It is from those guides
that you will find part price and labor
information to enter into the program.
We have included many shortcuts for data
entry which make it easy to quickly build
accurate, well-documented estimates, supplements
and invoices.
