Estimating Tip: Mitchell – Dynamic Systems Verification Road Test
Mitchell MCE and Ultramate users have the ability to add “Dynamic Systems Verification Road Test” on the estimate as a NON included operation. Users can find this database selection in the “Reference Sheet >> Calibrations>> Dynamic Systems Verification Road Test” or using quick code 933039. Note, this procedure will require an on-the-spot evaluation due to many variables by the different OEM driving patterns and conditions that must be met.
This may be a required operation by the OEM. Always reference the latest OEM repair procedures and verifying the process to perform a Dynamic Systems Verification Road Test.
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.You can view this tip and others on the DEG website by clicking here.For more information about SCRS, or to join as a member, please visitwww.scrs.com , call toll free 1-877-841-0660 or email us at info@scrs.com.Currently our Technical Subcommittee is dealing with a number of issues – one of them being Weld Burn Through – at this point SGI allows .5 for this procedure.
