When you repair a panel, there are more operations required than simply the repair time. Maybe there is a belt molding or door handle that needs R&I. Maybe there is a rear facing camera that needs R&I, as well as, calibration. Now in the latest version of the Dents.co app, we provide commonly forgotten repair procedures in a convenient checklist. The estimator simply selects the operations that need to be completed, and all of those items are now available on our new streamlined reporting!
We show only the additional operations that are most useful based on this specific repair. We do this by filtering the list by the manufacturer, the panel being repaired, and the substrate material of that panel. Additionally, we include Miscellaneous Operations that are often overlooked on repairs regardless of the circumstances related to the repair. We will be updating this list periodically, so please feel free to send us suggestions at arc@dents.co.
Great news, we have completely redesigned our reporting to include this new information. Now there is one simple report that details the damage size & depth, the estimated hours to repair, and the additional repair consideration. Simply save the file and upload to your estimating system for the insurers review. It can't get much easier than that!
