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.
