National AutoBody Research (NABR) Releases New Version of BillableGenie, Delivering Unprecedented Estimate Data Transparency to the Automotive Collision Repair Industry
Phoenix, Arizona - National AutoBody Research (NABR) announces the release of the new version of its innovative BillableGenie online software, providing automotive collision repairers with a breakthrough level of market-based estimate data, previously unavailable to them.
“For years, perhaps decades, insurance providers have had an absolute competitive advantage over body shops for access to collision repair data from estimates,” said Sam Valenzuela, President of NABR, “leading to massive asymmetry of information between insurers and shops. The New BillableGenie levels that playing field, giving all participating shops unlimited, searchable access to full estimates written by all other shops who are part of the BillableGenie community.”
Repairers can search repair estimate data down to the individual repair level, including line-item descriptions, labor hours, type of labor charged, labor rates, and more. Searches can be conducted by insurer, vehicle make, city and state, specific procedures, rates, and more. Repair records are also tagged for non-DRP or DRP, Customer Pay, Total Loss, OEM certified, and shop type, such as Independent, Dealer, Franchise, or MSO, for example.
Now, using actual market data from collision repairer estimates, the New BillableGenie enables shops to ask new business questions they could not easily answer before, such as:
BillableGenie collects no customer information of any kind, and all shop names remain anonymous.
“Estimate data transparency is critical to enable a fair and free market economy for the collision repair industry,” Mr. Valenzuela continued. “Among many other benefits, it helps drive fair competition, builds trust between shops and their customers, encourages innovation, and helps prevent any one party in a transaction from exploiting hidden information to the detriment of others.”
NABR encourages all collision repair centers who are serious about their business to reserve their free demo time slot at www.BillableGenie.com and see for themselves what the New BillableGenie can do for them.

Now, using actual market data from collision repairer estimates, the New BillableGenie enables shops to ask new business questions they could not easily answer before, such as:
- What do other shops in my market write on their estimates? Am I really the only one?
- How do other shops with my same OEM certifications write estimates, compared to mine?
- Do other DRP estimates include items that I don’t charge or get paid for?
- What prices and rates are other shops really charging?
- And much more.
BillableGenie collects no customer information of any kind, and all shop names remain anonymous.
