OEM METHODS SURVEY RESULT
THANK YOU TO THE OWNERS, MANAGERS AND ESTIMATORS WHO TOOK PART IN THE SURVEY. IT WAS A BIT OF A SURPRISE TO SEE THAT SOME PEOPLE DON’T CONSULT THE METHODS BEFORE CREATING AN ESTIMATE – THEY MUST END UP WITH A SHOCKING AMOUNT OF SUPPS AND WE’RE NOT QUITE SURE HOW THEY KNOW IF THE REPAIR IS RIGHT.
