Understanding how to use procedural pages (P-pages) that identify labor as either included or not included within a chosen estimating system is essential; and this instruction on using P-pages for refinishing is helpful to writing complete, accurate collision repair estimates. You will learn how to access P-pages and look at how the Database Enhancement Gateway (DEG) can help you write more accurate estimates. By comparing the same section of P-pages in three different estimating systems, you will gain insights about included and not-included labor. You will also learn about common refinish processes on P-pages and how to calculate for these procedures.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

·      Explain how to locate the P-pages in an estimating system.

·      Describe the types of information included in the P-pages.

·      Explain how to use the information in the P-pages when creating an estimate.

·      Explain how to use P-pages to include refinishing in the estimate.
