Feb. 12, 2015—It’s no secret that the new aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 presents a new challenge for auto repair shops. To bring repair data for the new truck to shops and insurance appraisers, CCC Information Services announced Thursday that its CCC ONE Repair Methods—the industry’s only repair procedure solution available as an integrated feature within an estimating workflow—now includes repair procedure data for it.
“Ford’s use of lightweight aluminum throughout the body and bed of its top-selling Ford F-150 received a lot of attention and generated important conversations about repairability throughout the industry,” Mark Fincher, vice president, market solutions, CCC Information Services, said in a release. “We’ve seen more than 400 2015 F-150 estimates in the three short months since it debuted. Part price and labor time data have been available to estimators, but getting the repair procedure data into the hands of customers was a top priority. We’re excited that data is now live in CCC ONE.”
CCC ONE Repair Methods provides access to repair procedure information for thousands of vehicle types, helping repairers and insurers complete thorough, accurate estimates. Because users don’t need to leave the estimating screen to get the repair data they seek, the information gets utilized quickly and efficiently.
