Brett Bailey,A & B CARSTAR of Riverside (Kansas City, Missouri)
ALLDATA Collision is a great tool and it is necessary for operating our business. Our estimators use it often and it absolutely makes us more efficient. Without it, I believe we would be at a competitive disadvantage.
Dean Fisher, CARSTAR Yorkville (Yorkville, Illinois)
It helps with our efficiencies. It saves time and money. We don’t have to take cars to a dealer and the information we need is readily available. ALLDATA’s tech support is great.
Frank Phelps and Dean Aycoth, Scott Auto body Shop (Charlotte, North Carolina)
ALLDATA Collision has proved to be very beneficial to us. It has provided us with the correct codes for the projects that we are working on. We had one situation where we worked on a BMW, and to justify the work to the insurance company, we had to show them the exact procedures from the ALLDATA system. We were able to negotiate with the insurance company and saved quite a bit of money.
Dennis Dean Gamba, Cranston Collision Center (Cranston , Rhode Island)
We use ALLDATA information every day for both mechanical repair and collision jobs. We love the collision request feature. The library is fast; we’ve never been left hanging. Collision Request is my direct window to the vast world of manufacturers’ collision information. ALLDATA gives me the ability to tell insurance companies how it should be done. We had a 2004 Volvo Cross Country with front-end damage.
Because of ALLDATA’s information, we were able to section the rail, saving about $5,000. Without that information we would have had to replace the entire rail. For me, it’s all about knowing that we are doing the job right and that the vehicle is safe when it leaves here. I have a child and I want to know that any child is safe in a vehicle we repair.
