Overhaul on a vehicle

Description of an overhaul on a vehicle.

Description

Overhaul is an operation that an estimator performs on an individual part to enable replacement or repairs on a vehicle. This includes disassembly and reassembly of the part.

Eligibility

Overhaul is considered when most or every part attached to the component requires removal to assist the repair, replacement, or painting of the component. Individual Mitchell part time for removal and installation or replacement must be used when the time is less than the overhaul time.

Important: Collision repair program participants must support that overhaul time is cost-effective.
