Repair University: Tips For Becoming A Better Estimator

[@BarrettRSmith]

Great information! For years I have urged our coaching/consulting clients and other repairers to not only read the P-Pages of the three estimating platforms but to read between the lines and to fully understand and comprehend what they state. Over the past decade, many of the entries have been re-written and/or modified to contain 'legal speak' whereby they are written in a manner that may contain hidden and/or muted meanings which can be interpreted various ways or misinterpreted altogether. Simple words such as "may", or "may not" or "if" and "when" etc. can completely change the meaning and intent of the text. This is true with OE position statements as well and repairers would do well to read, re-read and read again the text and seriously ponder the intent and how it may affect their customer, themselves (techs and management staff) and their company. I convey to my clients that the "P" in P-Pages stand for PROFIT...and the profit of any repair can be made or forfeited through the proper use or failure to use the P-Pages effectively. It's also, and perhaps even more important to understand the the labor guides are only that..."GUIDES"!

Great brainstorming, with overwhelming amount of information. I found it extremely hard to filter out the racket of the background beat, as well as the other noise. Otherwise loved the video.

My shop is fast track. Yet average hit is 6500.00 and a couple 20 to 22.. slow down is a good tip. Know all 3 premises. If u want to be a millionaire create a website where u can re write your ccc to auditex.. to see what was missed. Btw I know all 3. Matching CCC to Mitchell is not easy. ..

Great video! What is the exact name of this manual of the differences between all three major estimating systems? The one you guys keep mentioning that has 164 pages. Keep up the good work, greetings from @IntegrityAutoCC

ASA or Automotive Service Association made a quick reference guide to system differences that can be downloaded from their website. The guide to estimating and P Pages of Mitchell, AudaExplore and CCC combined are about 164 pages. You can access and download them on each website or by visiting DEGweb.org, the DEG is a great resource for estimating issues and not included operations

Go to data enhancement gateway.. u can even challenge the premise. And u have access to all 3.. ccc, Mitchell, audatex.. is the headliner included?? Put it in the search.. u will get your answer

[@ellocoexcalibur]

Why does mitchell state the reinforcement is included in overhaul, and not included in overhaul??? Hello!! Bueller??

[@SYZ]

More of this please

[@donotbigu2746]

the background is noisy enough and you add background music to make it noisier?

[@flymanff]

Yes please, you don’t have to or need back ground music during a discussion.

[@jayace3267]

Where do we find these pages ?

[@coryphillips1783]

Great video! Thanks so much. Note: Please remove the stupid background music

[@josen.loyoberrios5326]

Background music is annoying

[@woodant7]

Good video but the music in the back (on top of the ambient noise) is really annoy!! Bad move video editor!! Can't finish watching this!!

[@justawfulgamer7738]

[@nastyhardcore7641]
