Winter 2011 Snapshot

In this issue of Audatex Directions, the cover story provides new insight into bumper cover repair versus replace decisions and their impact on automotive insurance and collision repair practices. Bumpers—both front and rear—represent some of the most commonly replaced parts in automotive collision repair. Because their costs vary greatly by make and model of vehicle, the process of understanding the total costs involved in their repair can be complex. The cover article spells it out clearly, with plenty of cost-related facts and figures, along with advice on training and certification, to facilitate the repair versus replace decision.

The Winter issue also showcases the new 3D color-coded substrate identification, designed to improve estimating efficiency and accuracy, and is now available within the Audatex Estimating software platform.

Other articles in Audatex Directions explore vehicle total loss trends and repairable loss trends that illuminate the developments impacting the industry as well as a new educational program shaping the future of collision repair.
