Estimating Sequence

Listed under each basic assembly are the related and component parts. List the damage according to the basic assembly, taking the basic item first. Then, starting from the outside of the vehicle and working inward, list everything attached to it which is damaged. By following this procedure, you will make a more thorough inspection.

For instance, on an estimate involving front fender damage, inspect as shown:

 Fender

  molding

  nameplate

  emblem

 Fender Liner
