June 29, 2015—The Automotive Service Association (ASA) has released the latest update to its “Not-Included Operations” charts. The publication is available free to the industry and is designed to ensure collision repairers consider all possible operations when they write an estimate.

“Reference Chart of Not-Included Operations When Installing New Replacement Parts,” is available here and serves as a quick summary of general, not-included operations, and should be used in addition to procedure pages supplied by individual information providers.

“ASA is committed to providing the industry with the tools and resources they need to seek reimbursement for the steps necessary to properly repair a vehicle,” said Dan Risley, ASA president. “The ASA Not-Included Charts are an easy to use guide that helps the estimator accurately document all the necessary labor operations for the three major estimating systems.”
