DEG Works

Yes I am beating on the DEG drum again and that is because it works!  While I was coaching at Casey Collision Center earlier this week we submitted some things to DEG that showed up as included labor in CCC that just did not pass the common sense test.  Things like the rear bumper reinforcement showing as included labor in the bumper overhaul, we asked how, the bumper is on a stand and the reinforcement is still attached to the vehicle.  That error will be corrected in the September update.  We also found some parts misidentified on a 2011 BMW X5, those will be corrected in the October update.  When the estimating system shows something as included and it just does not make sense first review the P-pages.  If the P-pages do not add any clarification submit the inquiry to DEG.  Estimating software providers do the best they can with the information they receive, it takes the efforts of those in the field to keep things in check, do your part and submit errors.  In one day we were two for two, what is your ratio?
