About EstimateScrubber.com. We are completely independent from any insurers, information providers or other outside influences. Our goal is to provide outstanding free and low cost services to the collision repair industry and vehicle owners. We do not share or sell any estimates or shop information to any third party. Scrubber offers the ability to check your estimates against a preset group of items and rules to allow you the opportunity to make additions, deletions and changes before you submit it to your customers for approval. It also can offer a form of consistency between your shops and estimators ensuring the same entries appear on all estimates.

Login. When you register you are automatically logged in to EstimateScrubber. If you scrub estimates on other computers in the shop you need to login on each computer. You may be logged in and use multiple computers simultaneously. The computer sets a cookie and will remember you.

Estimate Providers. Currently the scrubber works with Audatex, CCC and Mitchell estimates.

Other Estimates. You can scrub Audatex, CCC and Mitchell estimates from other sources (shops or insurers) as long as they are provided in an email or text PDF format.

Multiple Profiles. You may create multiple profiles for different customer types. Cloning profiles allows you to copy an existing profile and make changes thus eliminating the task of completely setting up each profile. Each profile has to have a unique name. There is a freehand text area at the beginning of each profile allowing you the add comments and/or rules about the customer. You may scrub your estimates against different profiles looking for different things.

Scanned, Faxed or Copied Estimates. Scanned Faxed or Copied estimates will not scrub. The estimate has to be an original PDF copy. If you can get an estimate emailed to you as a PDF attachment it should scrub without any issues.

How Scrubber Works. Scrubber does not use data pumps, EMS or BMS files. It is completely cloud based. The scrubber reads the estimates text captured in the PDF file. Scrubber, using artificial neural networks (ANNs), can be trained to look for anything in the estimate copy. It is a statistical process we train, be it a line number, paint time, labor time, part number, line description, second line text, *, **, <>, #, INC*# or anything else. We program the ANNs to read and understand the lines and classify them. For a typical 50 line estimate we may need to perform thousands of pattern matches. When we are done then we apply the review logic. Since this is a statistical process it may not be 100% accurate. Occasionally you may run across a scrubbed estimate with an issue.

Reporting Scrubber Issues.There is a link on the results page labeled “Report Scrubbing Issue”. Open the link and fill out the form completely as possible. You do not need to attach the scrub results or estimate as this is done automatically. We would really like the feedback on your scrubs good or bad. You may also use the “Contact Us” link found in the black menu bar on the “Home Page” or at the bottom of the FAQ.

PDF Documents. There are two ways to get a PDF document. The first is to create an email and save the attachment to your estimate file. You do not need to send the email. The second is to print the estimate as a text PDF file and save it to your estimate file.

If you print it as a PDF there are two types of PDF files, Text and Graphic. Estimate scrubber needs estimates printed in a PDF text format. Any PDF program will work as long as it converts to a PDF text file. We recommend using PrimoPDF (www.primopdf.com) a free PDF text convertor.

If you are having problems scrubbing an estimate (shows no output) check the PDF converter. Open an estimate up and try to highlight the text. When clicking the left mouse button and scrolling down you cannot see the text highlighted it is a graphic file. A graphic PDF file will show a box to cut and paste. If you can't highlight the PDF’s text Scrubber can't read it. Do not use the PDF printers supplied by the information providers as they may resize the estimate copy which will not properly scrub the file.

Scrub Complete Estimates. You must print the entire estimate as a PDF file. If you try printing a partial estimate to a PDF the scrubber may not work. When you print as a PDF file you are not using paper. It is more work the convert a partial estimate to PDF so print the estimate as a PDF file.

Scrubbing the Same Estimate Multiple Times. You can scrub an estimate as many times as necessary. You can scrub it against different profiles to check different things or return to the estimate, make changes, reprint it as PDF and rescrub. You can do this as many times as necessary.

Manual Entries. The number of different ways you can enter the information on a manual line is infinite. Scrubber cannot be programmed to understand all these combinations. Our recommendation is to enter manual entries using verbiage as close to the text used by the information providers.
