Mahindra First Choice Services (MFCS), a multi-brand car workshop company from the Mahindra & Mahindra stable, has launched 'Dent Estimator', a first-of-its kind product in the country for getting instant repair estimate for car damage.

"We have just launched this interesting catchy product called the dent estimator. Whether a customer comes to us or not is not the determinant of whether one can use that application. It is really about empowering the customer," M&M president for corporate services and after-market and group HR Rajeev Dubey said here.

He said this product means no more waiting to get an estimate from an evaluator.
 

"All a car owner has to do for this instant estimate is, visit the 'Dent estimator' website and enter the damage details of his/her vehicle dent. This feature is especially suited for people who would like to get a repair estimate immediately on the go, and thus has an interface designed specifically for smart phone users.

"This comprehensive tool can give a repair estimate for most car makes and models," he informed.

Dubey along with YVS Vijay Kumar, CEO of the MFCS, was here in connection with launching of two car workshops of MFCS at Panchkula and Mohali, to serve the needs of the Chandigarh market. Chandigarh has the highest car population density in the country.

Speaking on the sidelines of the workshop launching function, Dubey said the dent estimator tool is simple to use and covers most damage types ranging from hairline scratches to tear.

"It takes into account the age of the car, the paint type, the paint colour, dents on multiple panels and also multiple dents on a single panel," he informed.

Vijay Kumar said "this innovative tool is set to revolutionise the face of the industry. Given the ever increasing car population on Indian roads most car owners at some point or the other experience scratches or dent on their cars...The 'dent estimator' can also be a great tool for insurance companies by giving them a reliable estimate for multiple makes and models."

"Users can not just avail these services at MFCS workshops but can also visit the website to buy products and do service bookings," he added.
