Reference

Print These Before You Need Them

Four reference sheets, published as web pages that print cleanly rather than as files you have to open something to read. Each one is the checklist the shop would read to you over the phone, written down so you can work through it standing next to the vehicle.

Every page on this site carries a print stylesheet, so any of these prints without navigation, without banners and without wasting a page of ink on a header. Use your browser print command on the linked page.

01

At the scene, before anything moves

The photograph sequence, the information to collect, and the three things people routinely forget that later cost them money on the claim. Print this one and keep it in the coach.

Open and print
02

Building a claim file that survives an adjuster

What a carrier actually needs, in what order, and where a file typically stalls between teardown and approval. Includes the paperwork to have ready before you make the first call.

03

The 25 places these claims go wrong

Each pitfall with a plain solution paragraph. The longest reference on the site and the one most worth reading before you accept a first estimate.

04

Estimate vocabulary

Betterment, blend, teardown, ACV, supplement, R and I. Defined the way the trade uses them, so you can read the document you were handed.

Need something that is not here?

Fleet operators and public agencies sometimes need the rate card, the scope format or the documentation standard in a form their procurement system will accept. Call (949) 799-3387 and the shop will send what your process requires rather than making you reformat a web page.

Bring it to the shop from Lake Forest

Collision, paint, fiberglass, roof, slide and systems work, all performed at the Yorba Linda facility. Tell us the vehicle and what happened and we will schedule intake.
