ICAR - Correct answer Inter Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair.
Determining Repair Costs - Correct answer The prices we pay for most repair
operations will be determined from printed or electronic collision estimating guides and repair facility survey results. However, it is not possible to determine the cost of every repair operation from these sources. For example, when estimating a sheet metal or other repair operation, the labor estimate is based on judgment time. When estimating judgment time, it should follow what is competitive in the local market to repair the vehicle in a quality manner.
Estimats are based on - Correct answer Estimates written or approved by
State Farm are based on labor rates and repair costs not to exceed what is charged by a majority of the repair market in a given area.
Contracts with repairers - Correct answer We do not enter into contracts with
repairers on individual repair jobs on a fixed or "contract" repair job basis. We pay for the estimated cost of repair based on physical damage caused as a result of the loss.
Freight Charges - Correct answer Similarly, if freight charges are submitted to State
Farm for payment, payment should normally be resisted. Freight charges are not considered as part of actual repair costs and are generally aligned with an expense a repairer or dealership may incur as a result of operating the repair facility business. If a circumstance arises that may warrant additional consideration, local management should contact their assigned Estimatics consultant.
Minimum Cost - Correct answer Establishing minimum costs or authority levels can
provide a realistic measure of repair costs for items such as the number of hours allowed for a complete refinish job, material costs, or similar items.

Replacement of shingles a) Include waste in the calculation -10% - Composite -15% - wood b) Round up to the nearest bundle -Assume 3 bundles per SQ for composite shingles -Assume 4 bundles per SQ for wood What do wood shingle estimates always end with? fourths. .25, .5, .75,. What do composite shingle estimates always end with? thirds. .33, .66,. Calculating Hip Roofs get main body first. extensions second. Hip roof triangular ends are calculated when the main roof is calculated b/c a triangle is accounted for that didn't actually exist
Correct Answers(packaged)
When calculating extensions on a hip roof don't count for the triangle, but don't forget the two parrallelograms remaining (there is a good chance they are identical) When calculating the main body Don't assume that you can just find one side of a roof and double it. Why? the rafters might be different lengths How do you find the height of a hip roof? the height of the triangle is equal to the length of the rafter that is forming the parallelogram (only true if the pitch of the roof is identical and the angles on the hip roof are 90 degrees) Do you round when removing a roof? No, removal is always the exact number What calculations can you use to replace? x1.10 for composite x1.15 for wood .33 for composite .25 for wood "drop and roll"

Vinyl sheath flooring How much square footage is it to move and replace the carpet pad? The answer: square footage To calculate floor removal: divide up into squares/rectangles and determine specific amount to be removed To calculate replacement of floor:
- notice seams in flooring
- drop and roll a 12' roll of carpet
- add 3" to length (.25) To calculate linear feet of trusses
- are they installed 24" of center?
- convert 24" to feet
- length of roof (30ft) / 2ft = 15 (the number of trusses)
- Add 1 for the truss not yet accounted for: 30/2 = 15. Then 15 +1 = 16. 16 trusses How much would it cost to replace the linear feet of truss on this roof? (total number of trusses) X (width of roof w/out overhangs) = linear feet of roof trusses
