From noon on Wednesday 22nd July, repairers doing vehicle damage assessments for Motorcare will be able to unlock authorised estimates themselves without needing to contact a Motorcare engineer. This will simplify and speed-up the process of supplementing an estimate.
To unlock an authorised Motorcare estimate, repairers should simply click the Unlock button on the Estimate tab. The estimate status will change to unauthorised, and the estimate can then be changed and returned to Motorcare. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you require further information.

We are pleased to announce that Inter-est World, our next-generation technology platform, will will be available to all our customers in mid-July. The precise launch date will be published in the next two weeks.
Inter-est World will allow you to access your estimates from any internet-connected computer - whether in the office, "on the road" using a wireless broadband network, or even from home. And because we store your data for you in our secure data-centre, you will no-longer have the cost and inconvenience of managing your own data storage.
To find-out more about what Inter-est World means for your business, see the launch announcement or visit the Inter-est World page and view the FAQ.

As we have recently added a new "Paint" repair category to Vision, we thought we'd also produce a short screencast to illustrate the difference between “Repair” and “Paint” repair-only operations. In it, Malcolm Neale demonstrates how to repair a front door and paint a rear door - highlighting the differences in corrosion protection time.
The new screencast is here. If you have any comments on this material then please either leave a comment or contact us. We'd like to hear from you!

Blow away those cobwebs with our half-day Vision Estimating refresher course. It is aimed at people who:
Have been on a Vision Estimating course, but it was more than a year ago and they feel they need a ‘shot in the arm'
Or who have let their Vision Estimating get slightly "rusty"
Or feel they have a good grasp of the principles, but have not done a formal Vision Estimating course.
The course is also suitable for anyone who wants to learn about Vision Estimating, but doesn't have the time to attend a course lasting a whole day.
Phone us on 01625 616020 to talk about available dates, or check the dates on the training page.

We have just added a new screencast that describes how to identify a vehicle without using Inter-est's DVLA lookup feature. This is something that you might have to do when estimating a newly registered vehicle that we don't yet have DVLA registration information for.
The screencast lasts lust over two minutes. Don't worry if your PC has no speakers or you're concerned about disturbing colleagues - all our screencasts feature on-screen visual prompts as well as a spoken commentary.
We'll be adding more screencasts in the coming weeks.
