| (A) prepare vehicle for inspection by providing access
to damaged areas;
(B) analyze damage to determine appropriate methods
for overall repairs;
(C) perform visual inspection of structural components
and members;
(D) identify structural damage using measuring tools
and equipment;
(E) perform visual inspection of non-structural components
and members;
(F) determine parts, components, material type(s),
and procedures necessary for a proper repair;

(B) locate and record vehicle identification number
(VIN) information, including nation of origin, make, model, restraint
system, body type, production date, engine type, and assembly plant;
(C) identify and record vehicle options, including
trim level, paint code, accessories, and modifications;
(D) identify the safety systems;
(E) apply appropriate estimating and parts terminology;
(F) determine and apply appropriate estimating sequence;
(G) utilize estimating guide procedure pages;
(H) estimate labor time for operations;
(I) select appropriate labor rates for each operation
such as structural, non-structural, mechanical, and refinish;
(J) select and price replacement parts such as original
equipment manufacturer (OEM), alternative/optional OEM, aftermarket,
recycled/used, remanufactured, rebuilt, and reconditioned parts;
(K) determine labor time, prices, charges, allowances,
or fees for non-included operations and miscellaneous items;
(L) determine additional material and charges such
as environmental, administrative, shop, and disposal fees;
(M) determine refinishing material and charges;
(N) review computer-assisted and manually written estimates
and verify that the information is correct;
(O) identify labor time and material charges for restoring
corrosion protection; and
(P) determine the approximate vehicle retail value
compared to the repair cost.
