Check the details

A repair opens on the Vehicle tab. Check each card.

  • Customer Contact: Name, Email and Phone. You can change these.
  • Vehicle Details: RO Number, Vehicle, VIN and Total Amount.
  • Insurance: Insurance Company and Claim Number.
  • Repair Overview: a summary of the repair. The app writes it when the repair is ready to send.

Vehicle Details and Insurance come from the estimate. You cannot change them on this tab. To change them, fix the estimate in CCC ONE and send it again.

Fix the customer's name, email or phone

  3. Click Remove Repair. It is in red.
  4. Click Remove in the box that opens.

If something goes wrong

You do not see Create Portal in the menu. On a computer, a Basic User or Central Reviewer does not see it. Ask a Repair Planner to create the portal.

The estimate is not on the Create Portal page.

  • In the list of locations, pick All Locations.
  • Type the RO number or the VIN in the search box next to that list.
  • Still missing? Ask your Organization Leader if CCC ONE is connected. See Connect CCC ONE through Secure Share.

Estimate changes are not showing. A repair in review does not take changes from CCC ONE. See CCC changes are not showing.

You do not see Edit, Edit Repair or Remove Repair. A Basic User or Central Reviewer does not see them. Nobody sees them while the repair is in review or archived.

What to do next

Add your photos. See Add photos and finish the checklist.
