Get Paid For What You Do
If you write auto repair estimates for a body shop and you're not looking though all of your not included items in your p-pages, you are leaving a lot of money unclaimed. These are operations that must be performed to complete the job. Therefore, the shop and the technician should get paid for it.
What Do Insurance and the IRS Have In Common
Insurance companies are a lot like the IRS. There are many things that the insurance companies are willing to pay for just like the IRS has many tax saving benefits for businesses. However, if don't ask for it, neither one of them will offer to give it to you. I am not saying that the insurance companies will pay you for everything you ask for, but it is certain you will not get paid for the operation if you don't ask for it. There may be as much not included time on a part as the time given to R&R it. Let's take a look at an example.
The P-Pages
If you google Motor Guide to Estimating, you will see the p-pages for CCC Pathways. There, you can see the included and not included items for each operation. If you look up a front fender you will see this listed:
Included Operations Include
- Align to vehicle
- Fillers (if mounted to fender)
- Cornering lamps (if mounted to fender)
- Fender liner
- Scoop
- Side marker
- Side repeater lamp
Non-Included Operations Include
- Antenna
- Bumper R&I
- Battery
- Emblems & nameplates
- Grille
- Header panel
- Hood Inner panels
- Lamp aiming
- Mirror
- Moldings
- Mud guard
- Road wheel
- Spoilers & flares
- Stripe tape, decals or overlays
Ask Yourself
If you are a new estimator, you need to get this list out and go over it for every part that you are replace. Ask yourself if any of the not included item are required to perform in the specific job that you are estimating. For instance, on the fender above ask: Will I have to R&I an antenna? If the fender has an antenna add time for it on the estimate. If not, don't add it. Next, ask yourself if you will need to R&I bumper to replace the fender. If you will, add the time. If not, don't add any time for it. Go through each item on the non-included list and ask if this task will be required.
Increase Shop Profits
Now you can see the amount of money that you may leave unclaimed on each panel. Many of the non-included items will need to be performed on each fender you replace. Of course, you would only add what applies. You would not want to add time to R&I hood, if you do not need to remove the hood to R&R the fender. Look over the list on each panel that you estimate and add what applies to the estimate. If a fender pays 3.0 hours, you may be able to add an extra.5 to 1.5 or more hours of non-included operations. This will lead to major profit for the company and technician at the end of a day. Who know how much.2 or.3 for every emblem you replace may add up to at the end of one year.
Tell A Story
The key is to list each item separately. You need to tell a story with your estimate and it needs to be easy to understand. If you try to bulk or clump items together, chances are the insurance adjuster may refuse to pay.

Freestream: A Small Sports Car That Out-Accelerates The Biggest And Best
Latest super-sports car from England is the Caparo Freestream supercar, which will have a power-to-weight ratio of 1,000 bhp per ton! The Bugatti Veyron which has 1,001 bhp manages about 560 bhp per tonne, so how you can see that the Caparo is streets ahead of any other supercar in power-to-weight ratio, and that is what makes cars accelerate fast. And fast acceleration is very exciting, and can also improve safety of the car in some circumstances.
So how does the Caparo do it? Not with 2,000 bhp because the car would weigh at least 2.5 tons, which would miss the target. In fact, Bugatti has demonstrated that sheer power means a lot of weight, particularly in the transmission and brakes.
To get a high power-to-weight-ratio you need a light car. And why is a high power-to-weight-ratio important? Because it dictates how fast the car accelerates flat out. A car with a high power-to-weight-ratio can cover the ground quicker because it gets out of corners fast and accelerates up the straights faster. So long as the handling is good, the car will be very fast anywhere.
Lightweight solution
Instead of going for a big engine with masses of power, the designers, who worked on the McLaren F1, have gone for ultra lightweight and a compact V-8 engine based on F1 technology. The result is a pencil-slim car with 480 bhp at 10,500 rpm from a supercharged 2.4 liter engine, and a weight of under 1,100 lb. Both the new engine and transmission are very light, as are all the components. The very narrow body without fully enclosed fenders also reduces weight.
The whole design concept has been aimed at reducing weight, ore not putting in things that add weight. First, the power train is very light compared with mass-production units. Then, the carbon fiber body/chassis is also much lighter than most, as designers without Grand Prix experience tend to over-design their structures. Also, because the power train is light, the loads on the body are lower, so again less weight does not need to be built into the structure.
It has a very narrow cockpit, with the passenger sitting slightly behind the driver to reduce width, so this is more of a track racer or trackday special than a road car. Even so, this car changes the concept of exotic cars to where it should be – ultra-lightweight, compactness and exciting performance round twisty roads or circuits.
To save weight they have adopted a narrow coupe body with cycle-type front mudguards, and side-mounted radiators which flow into the rear fenders.
In fact, these are all factors used by Colin Chapman to design the early Lotus cars, and since used by all racing car companies. In other words, the Caparo Freestream really takes advantage of Grand Prix technology to build a supercar.
The Caparo Freestream looks very unusual, but if you want sheer performance this is it! The makers say the car will hit 200 mph, and accelerate from a standing start of 100 mph in 5.5 seconds!! Holy mackerel that is fast. Oh, and they also say that owing to the downforce available, the T1 will be able to corner and brake at 3g – incredible. This tremendous cornering power and braking would not be possible without the use of Grand Prix design principles.
On top of all that, Caparo, which produces a lot of components for the auto industry, have priced the Freestream at about $320,000 (£176,000).

Need help with Business Law: Commercial Speech.?
Suppose that Georgia enacts a law requiring the use of contoured rear-fender mudguards on trucks and trailers operating within ts state lines. The statue further makes it illegal for trucks and trailers to use straight mudguards. In thirty-five other states, straight mudguards are legal. Moreover, in the neighboring state of Florida, straight mudguards are explicitly required by law. There is some evidence suggesting that contoured mudguards might be a little safer than straight mudguards. Discuss whether this Georgia statue would violate the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution.
