When we talk about the auto body industry, one of the most important professions that exists is the insurance appraiser or body shop estimator. These careers are sometimes a little undervalued, which is why this book is a beginner’s guide when it comes to auto collision damage estimating. This book will be useful for people who want to pursue a professional career in this field, as it offers an additional resource from which to learn and thus be much more prepared to start training in this wonderful profession. This may not be as prestigious a career as a lawyer, accountant, or doctor, but it certainly offers people plenty of job opportunities that can be exploited to achieve one’s long-term goals.
The author of this book has more than 18 years of experience in the industry, so the reader can fully rely on his knowledge. George Langarica started as a parts manager in a body shop, ordering parts for estimators and sending in orders to dealerships. Then he did some junior estimating as a parts manager, took classes, became certified, started working for a major insurance company for 12 years, and then he worked for a body shop for another six years. Additionally, this book follows the 2013 NATEF/ASE Damage Analysis, Estimating, and Customer Service tasks, which may be very useful when taking the ASE B6 certification exam.
This book is intended as a supplement to other auto estimating training and to broaden knowledge about auto estimating. The reader will learn the methods used to write estimates, how to set up the estimates environment, the necessary parts of an estimate, how to calculate the labor and material cost, how to deal with angry customers, and everything else that is needed for long-term success in this great profession.
