It haunts me with Adsense revenue, haunt because it so low, ha ha.  The bright side, and the reason I keep coming back is; it ranks well in Google search for a Body Shop Estimating software.  We make available as an alternative to the expensive ones.

Yeah we get that one alot and experienced the frustration of looking for one.  When our body shop was transitioning from hand written vs computer generated we found we were stuck in the middle between moving from hand written to using a cheap program that could automate a lot of the math and hand writing parts. The main problem was:  The high monthly's with name name brand CCC one

Do you have a used body kit?  Does it need to be repaired?  Is it junk? We found someone who buys used body kits, wings, spoilers, canards and even some used headlamps.  I guess they repair and resell them? Anyway, we know these guys and they do great work if your looking to get your body kit installed, repaired or removed from your yard. We have found, it's not easy finding

Since when has spamming gone mainstream?  Geez we get spammed and we unsubscribe from these idiots at least once a month.  Is the economy so bad, major corporations like Disney and National Geographic are stooping to spamming.  Truly they have lost all credibility in our eyes. Anybody else getting spammed by these guys?

Body Shop estimating software, data base driven types like:  CCC Pathways, Web-Est, Crash-Writer, Mitchell etc.  Using these can be premature for low volume back yard body shops.  Take it from us, starting a body shop with little or no money is not easy and you have to watch every nickle and avoid monthly's at all cost.

Here's a helpful tip for masking under hood components when spray painting your engine compartment. Use aluminium foil to bend around and wrap anything you don't want over spray on.  Its fast and stays put until you remove it. This tip came from many years inside of body shops.  Add this to your bag of tricks and you will appreciate it.

I personally hope the all electric cars are indeed perfected to a point where they make sense, but did you know when you plug in, the electric current required to charge your batteries come from a coal or nuclear burning plant to generate that electricity? So if we all dropped gasoline and went totally electric, how are the plants going to keep up? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me,
