That's not exaggeration — that's the average unsupplemented revenue shops leave behind every 30 days. Blend times not billed. Seam sealer skipped. Corrosion protection missing. SecondLook finds every gap in 47 seconds and writes the supplement for you.
These aren't edge cases. These are standard, billable operations that disappear from estimates every day — in every shop, on every file.
Adjacent panels that need color blending for a clean match are routinely left off estimates. Avg. value: $80–$140/panel.
Required when seams are exposed during repair. Often omitted because it's easy to overlook at estimate time. Avg. value: $45–$90/area.
Required by OEM procedures on bare metal exposure. Missed on 70%+ of estimates. Avg. value: $55–$110/area.
Frame pull and structural alignment require setup and measure operations that are legitimately billable and frequently dropped. Avg. value: $75–$150.
Clear coat application on adjacent panels for seamless finish blending is billable and routinely forgotten. Avg. value: $60–$120/panel.
OEM-required foam fill in rocker panels and structural cavities during repair — billable, documented, and consistently overlooked. Avg. value: $90–$160.

"We recovered $9,200 in our first month — money we had been leaving behind for years. Blend times, seam sealer, corrosion protection. Items we were forgetting to charge for on every single car. SecondLook caught every one."

"We've had two estimators for years and still missed things every day. SecondLook runs in the background, catches what we miss, and writes the supplement language. Our first-pass supplement approval rate went from 60% to 89% in 6 weeks."
