Info on training for auto collosion estimating?
I started a new job 3 days ago as an auto collision estimator with no experience whatsoever aside from working in an insurance claims call center. I really like it an want to do well. Though I am being told that I am doing great and that it comes in time I was wondering if there was anyone out there that knew where I could find some resources to assist me in learning even faster? Any help that anyone can offer would be great. I've been searching online and there doesn't seem to be any options for me here in Denver. I am thinking I could definitely make a career out of this and I want to excel and prove to my management what the opportunity I have been given means to me. Thanks!

- Years ago (maybe eons now..) Mitchell (of the Mitchell estimatics labor & pricing guides and electronics systems) published a book called 'The Mitchell Guide to Estimatics'. This was (is) a great tool for the beginner as the book is laid out in a very logical format and covers the basics of auto collision damage. I have been writing collision estimates for a major insurance company for over 22 years and I can honestly tell you that you never stop learning or making mistakes -- so sign-up for every I-CAR class you can, study cars in a disassembled state every chance you get and keep an open mind. Luck...
