ASE B6 Damage Analysis & Estimating case studies

ASE B6, Damage Analysis and Estimating, is one of the Automobile certifications in the ASE professional testing program. It is aimed at people who assess collision damage and build repair plans: estimators and damage analysts in body shops, claims adjusters and appraisers, shop managers who review estimates, and technicians moving from the floor into the front office. The credential signals that a candidate can look at a damaged vehicle and produce a defensible, complete, and correctly priced repair plan rather than just identify broken parts. The exam is organized around the full estimating workflow: estimating fundamentals, vehicle identification and damage documentation, exterior panel assessment, structural and frame analysis, mechanical, electrical, and interior damage, repair-versus-replace and labor operations, parts and materials pricing, and supplements, total loss, and customer communication. The ASE B6 Damage Analysis & Estimating case studies are 5 cases and about 2,399 words.
