Enhancing Estimatics

The most overlooked opportunity in the collision repair business is properly charging for the work you perform. CCS has developed a program of training modules to educate your team and improve profitability by focusing on what impacts most, Labor Sales. Through classroom, 1:1 coaching and estimate auditing our goal is to increase a minimum of 1-2 hours per R.O. on both Refinish and Body Labor. This is achieved by using O.E.M. repair procedures, understanding estimating databases and not-included operations.
