SCRS M embers,

Audatex Panel Repair: DEG  Inquiry 10966  inquired about damage to an adjacent panel when replacing a welded on structural component. 

Please see the DRM section 4-2 Labor exclusions:
  • Replace labor does not include additional labor to repair the replaced panel and or adjacent panels which may become distorted, burned or damaged by welding, drilling, grinding and straightening. 
  • Additional labor for removal of parts that have been impeded by crash damage (access labor.) (Standard Manual Entry M62 is available.)

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.
