Affordable Estimating Software For Small Body Shops?
Affordability is a question of perspective. Choosing the right estimating software
is an important decision for any small auto body repair shop.
There are three major estimating systems available for the auto body repair industry.
They can cost anywhere from $2,400 to $5,000 per year -
and they all require a contract. Payments are due even if you don't have work in your shop.
If you're a small body shop, with just a few technicians, that's a lot of money out of your pocket
- especially if you're only writing a few estimates a week. What is a small shop to do? Click here for a solution.
If your shop's primary focus are restoration or customizing, you may not need expensive software
as your specialized part prices and labor all have to be manually entered anyway. What if you could find
a software solution to speed up your specialized estimating while saving you a lot of money? And give you
the ability to write insurance and customer repair estimates? Click here to find out more.
Of the many small shop owners that I talk to, I'm amazed how many do not have estimating software. They tell me that they let the insurance company write the estimate. Obviously, they
don't realize the value of influencing the insurance estimate and making sure that all parts and labor are properly listed and fair. Low priced estimating software would help their bottom line.
