Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a damage repair estimate, generating information relating to warranty and short sheet issues for a particular damage repair estimate, identifying included/non-included operations in a target damage repair estimate, and notifying entities of the existence of warranty and short sheet issues. The analysis portion accesses a central database of records for particular vehicles and determines whether a warranty, short sheet, or deviation from pre-determined repair procedures exists and creates a displayable file. Depending on the analysis requested, the system and method displays an appropriate damage estimate analysis. The notification portion accesses a central database of records for particular entities to contact for particular vehicles and electronically notifies entities of the existence of a damage estimate analysis.

Abstract: A vehicle collision estimate audit system is utilized to audit repair estimates created by in-house estimators and independent appraisers. The vehicle collision estimate audit system includes a receiving module to receive a repair estimate. The vehicle collision estimate audit system includes a review engine to review the repair estimate and to generate an audited repair estimate. The vehicle collision estimate audit system includes a profile management database to house at least one profile and the one profile is associated with the repair estimate. The profile is utilized to assist in the generating of the audited repair estimate. The vehicle collision estimate audit system also includes a data release module to receive the audited repair estimate and to output the audited repair estimate.
