Print out this guide as a reference so you are ready to document your parts decisions.
This video guide will walk you through the screens you may see if you select parts that exceed the insurer's best price.
PartsTrader automatically selects the lowest priced quote for each part after applying a filter using your direct repair network parts policy. When selecting a higher priced part for the repair, notate your reason using the Insurer Note dropdown menu.This will appear automatically and be required when a higher priced part quote is selected. This information will be visible to your DRP representative reviewing this job. You can also refer to this information should you need to in the future. Select Other if the predefined reasons do not clearly explain your decision and type in your own explanation.
Select either “Price Matched” or “Not preferred supplier” then adjust the list price of the part. This will record a price matched list price in PartsTrader and that price will be sent to your estimate when you click Export to Estimate.
Selected part quotes are the most cost effective when considering price, quality, delivery time, and any other relevant details.
Insurer notes accurately explain why selecting a more expensive part is the right choice.
