What must a technician include after inspecting a torn-down vehicle?

After inspecting a torn-down vehicle, it is essential for a technician to provide a comprehensive estimate for disassembly and reassembly. This is crucial because a torn-down vehicle indicates that significant work has already taken place, often involving detailed evaluation and potential repairs. By including an estimate for disassembly and reassembly, the technician ensures transparency regarding the labor and costs associated with reassembling the vehicle, which aids the owner in understanding the full scope of the project and any financial implications.

Providing just the results of the inspection or a summary of findings would not encompass the necessary information about the efforts required to put the vehicle back together. Documentation of parts removed, while important for inventory and tracking purposes, does not convey the full scope of the work required for reassembly and may not directly inform the vehicle owner of the costs involved. Thus, the estimator provides the most valuable context for both the technician and vehicle owner to align on expectations, costs, and required actions after the inspection.
