    Disposition Car
  • The CRS assists the car owner in determining where to send the car by providing a list
         of contract shops by location.
  • The car owner is able to establish a rating for each shop based on reputation and billing rates.
  • The car owner can track the movement of the car to and from the shop

    Submit Repair Estimate
  • The contractor is able to submit a repair estimate to the Contract Repair System using
         WGS's CRB application, or by integrating the CRS to their own car repair billing application.
  • An automated review is completed on the submitted estimate to ensure the repair follows
         AAR rules.
  • The estimate is auto approved or held for further review and revisions.
  • The car owner is able to review the estimate, approve repairs by detail line, enter comments,
         request the use of owner's material, or reject the estimate.

    Estimate Approval/Rejection
  • Once the estimate is approved, notification is immediately provided to the contract shop to begin repairs. Any additional repairs found after the initial approval can be added to the estimate and sent to the car owner for approval while work continues on the approved repairs.
  • If the estimate is not approved, notification is provided to the contract shop for estimate re-negotiation and revision.
  • When the car is repaired, the car's release date is updated. The final invoice is then submitted to the car owner and CRS completes a comparison of the approved charge to the actual charge to approve the invoice for payment.
