How to Add Three Stage Calculations in Audatex
 - 
For the system to recognize and calculate three stage paint finish, the user must select Three Stage Paint option from the vehicle options.  User must go to the Vehicle Category >>> Additional vehicle options >>> Paint >>> Select "Three Stage Paint user defined from the drop down menu.
Hint: You may also enter the color code. The system may recognize and automatically switch over to three stage.
Audatex's Three-stage formula is: Setup time of 1.0 hour upon selection of the first major panel, plus 35% of Audatex estimate refinish labor.
Audatex's blend formula is: 50% of Audatex estimate refinish labor after overlap consideration, including two-stage or three-stage allowances, if applicable for the panel to be blended.




The estimating databases are all intended to be used as a GUIDE ONLY - it is important to remember that the auto body professional performing the repair is in a position to thoroughly inspect, diagnose and identify the methodology and their unique cost of the vehicle damage repair.
