Complete a vehicle teardown estimate

Steps for an estimator to complete an estimate on a vehicle teardown.

Procedure

1. Determine whether a vehicle teardown is required.

   yes	erase all estimate lines using the TEARDOWN TO DETERMINE T/L pre-store from the ICBC templates, add teardown labour time and other applicable operations, if required, and review and approve the teardown estimate.
   no	create a note that indicates no teardown is required in ClaimCenter

   Note: There are additional items that may be included in the vehicle teardown payment, such as

   • evacuation of the air condition (A/C) system when the cost was incurred to facilitate the vehicle teardown
   • performing unibody/frame measurements to set up on a four point anchoring system when approve by ICBC, and
   • initial pull time when the repairs have not been started, and the vehicle must be estimated using the TEARDOWN TO DETERMINE T/LPre-store in Mitchell Cloud Estimating (MCE) at the sheet metal (SME) rate.

   1. Update Cost Type: select Vehicle Repair/Replace.
   2. Update Cost Category: select Inspection.
