Abstract: A system and method for repairing collision damage or servicing a motor vehicle that involves managing and organizing a plurality of parts that have been removed from the motor vehicle during the repair or service process. The system includes a base member having opposite facing top and bottom surfaces and a plurality of regions corresponding to different sections of the body of a motor vehicle displayed on the top surface of the base member. An overlay member having opposite facing top and bottom surfaces and a plurality of open regions corresponding to the base regions is configured to be superimposed over the base member to create a plurality of separate compartments for locating and holding parts that have been removed from specific sections of the motor vehicle for later assembly back onto the vehicle in a downstream collision repair or service process step.

Abstract: Computer software and computer-implemented method for preparing an insurance claims package in connection with a damaged vehicle for submission to the vehicle owner's insurance company. A computer-readable medium for storing executable software for preparing an insurance claims package for a damaged vehicle, a computer system including the executable computer software stored in the computer-readable medium for preparing an insurance claims package for a damaged vehicle damage are also disclosed. An insurance claims package for vehicle damage repair is prepared by the computer-implemented method by executing the computer software stored in the computer-readable medium of a computer system.

Abstract: Provided is a booth that includes a booth housing that defines an area for locating or positioning a vehicle to undergo a filling, priming, and/or painting operation as part of an overall vehicle collision damage repair process. The booth includes a first air handling system and a second air handling system that is in fluid communication with an air extraction tool. The first handling system includes an air intake, a pressurized plenum, a filter to filter air from the air plenum before that enters into the interior of the housing, and an air exhaust. The second air handling system includes flexible and static conduits that are in communication with each other and in communication with an air exhaust outlet for removing debris and particulate from a sealed application area located adjacent the vehicle being repaired.

Abstract: Provided is a spray booth that includes a housing and a mechanism for advancing the vehicle through the housing. The spray booth may include a rail system that extends along the long axis of the housing and is off-set from the center of the short axis of the housing for advancing vehicles. The spray booth housing includes walls that define an area for locating a vehicle to be painted. The area defined by the walls includes regions for priming a vehicle to be painted, preparing a vehicle to be painted, and distinct painting areas for separately painting the vehicle that is engaged with the rail system and for painting parts that are not attached to the vehicle. The spray booth may also include one or more air handling systems for handling air that is flowed through the spray booth during the preparation and paint operations.

Abstract: A dashboard barrier for attachment to the top surface of the dashboard of a vehicle, such as an automobile or boat. The dashboard barrier includes a unitary body including a base portion and at least one upstanding side wall portion. The dashboard barrier attaches to the top surface of the vehicle dashboard and is able to conform to the general shape of the dashboard. The forward-most portion of the dashboard barrier is attached to the top surface of the dashboard so that it contact inner surface of vehicle's windshield and extends to the edge of the dashboard. When mounted in proper position on the vehicle dashboard, the barrier lies generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the dashboard, thus dividing the dashboard into two sections. The dashboard barrier prevents loose objects from shifting or sliding from one section of the dashboard to the other section of the dashboard while the vehicle is in motion.
