Understanding the Basics of Automotive Estimatics®

 

 

This workbook is designed to provide a general understanding of damage estimating. Included are 40 pages of photos, illustrations and text. It is presented in three parts. The first section describes vehicle construction, structural realignment, and panel repairs. Section two is designed to familiarize the user with terminology, definitions, and a basic understanding of the location and purpose of vehicle components. The final section uses a sample estimate to illustrate the nine-step process of preparing an accurate estimate.

 

Each section begins with instructions that explain how to use the workbook and ends with one or more tests that can be checked with the included answer key. This makes the workbook an excellent self-study guide.

STAR 2000 Program

 

 

 

The Structural Analysis and Realignment program teaches damage estimators how to identify and assess structural misalignment. Using specially designed worksheets that are based on measurement control points, realignment activity can be accurately documented and calculated.

 

The STAR 2000 Program reduces supplements and guesswork on structural misalignment. By using this clear method of documentation, the estimator has confidence in the estimate and the repair technician knows how the caluculations are figured. The program coincides with recommended repair procedures and is compatible with all new vehicle technology.

 

Attendees of the Auto Estimatics and Certified Professional Estimator courses receive the program as part of the course which includes a 52-page manual, worksheets and certificate.

 

The STAR 2000 Program is available as:

 

• A custom seminar taught by a Vale Instructor

• A self-study package for $99

• An electronic version for $249
