Competitive Estimates Can Save Repairers Time & Money! It's as Easy as 1-2-3
|
|
|
Writing competitive estimates, including alternative part types, will provide access to manufacturer-sponsored pricing programs with your suppliers. Most insurance programs allow their repairer partners to do this and it will save you money on OE parts.
You save time by submitting your quote requests through PartsTrader only – no more double entry into CollisionLink. You’ll save money as this new integration automatically notifies your dealer of any available pricing programs offered by their OE manufacturers.
An added bonus – fewer parts returns. With automatic part number validation, you’ll be sent the right part the first time.

On January 12, 2016, Microsoft stopped supporting versions of Internet Explorer 10 and earlier. What this means is that Microsoft will no longer be sending out security updates, compatibility fixes or technical support for these versions.
While there is no immediate impact on PartsTrader users, we encourage Internet Explorer users to consider upgrading to Internet Explorer 11. Keeping your software up-to-date with the latest versions allows you to take advantage of better performance. These browsers are more secure and are considerably faster, saving you time on every page and providing you with a better user experience.

Hot Tips from Customer Care - Messages for Your Shops
|
|
|
|
If you want to leave a message for a body shop, comment in a part line. PartsTrader Customer Care recommends that you place general comments about the order or transaction on the line with the very first part. This helps ensure that the repairer sees your comments when they review options for ordering parts. You can still use the Extra Details at the bottom on the screen, but by including the message on the top parts line, you're more likely to ensure your message is read.
