Cheap body shop estimating software? Free from Monthly Fee's?

Yeah we get that one alot and experienced the frustration of looking for one.  When our body shop was transitioning from hand written vs computer generated we found we were stuck in the middle between moving from hand written to using a cheap program that could automate a lot of the math and hand writing parts.

The main problem was:  The high monthly's with name name brand CCC one (pathways), Web-est, ABFsystems, Crash Writer, Mitchell and the others.

The competition is getting tough and the prices are coming down but, there still was not an answer for us, so we developed our own cheap body shop estimating system using Microsoft Excel(TM), developed specifically to fill the cap between hand written and expensive data base driven.

The workbook we developed helped us tremendously by allowing us to print a customer info sheet, look over the car with a paper copy and make abbreviations that we understood, enter that in the computer and use long descriptions that your customer will now understand, enter the labor hours as judgment items and all the math is done automatically and the information filters from page to page allowing you to track parts, make customer notes, print RO's and even a profit summary to make sure you made a profit or if you didn't, let you know how much money you lost on the repair.

We found it to be a cost effective and downright cheap body shop, collision shop, custom shop automotive repair estimating system solution.
