The Database Enhancement Gateway (DEG) published an article Sept. 21 summarizing the policy of the three information providers on refinishing raw plastic parts. As the article notes, “Raw plastic preparation had to be determined on a case by case basis and then manually calculated, often resulting in ongoing friction between repairers and insurers.”
The article also encourages repairers to educate their estimators on how to access prompts within the CCC and Audatex estimating systems to reflect the labor and material used to refinish raw plastic parts.
