Introducing Total Cost to Repair Estimates in BlueDriver MAX PDF Reports

Dealerships, auctions, and fleet managers rely on diagnostic data to make fast, confident decisions. But interpreting that data — especially when it comes to pricing and risk — hasn’t always been easy.

That’s why we’ve enhanced the BlueDriver MAX Diagnostic Report to include something our customers have been asking for: Total Cost to Repair Estimates, powered by real labor and parts data.

This is a big deal.

‍
BlueDriver MAX users can go from “here’s what’s wrong” to “here’s what it’ll likely cost to fix” — all in a customizable professional report built for business.

What’s New in the Enhanced Report

• Total Cost to Repair Estimates
  Each diagnostic code will highlight labor and parts costs, powered by MOTOR and aligned to your shop rate. This simplifies decisions around which repairs to prioritize and supports accurate pricing during trade-in appraisals.

• Arbitration Risk Scoring (ARB Risk)
  Automatically flags vehicles that may be high-risk based on cost thresholds and code severity. This key indicator is easy to identify and provides a clear assessment of the vehicle’s condition, quickly highlighting units that require further attention and guiding reconditioning efforts.

• Improved Report Layout
  The updated format groups codes by module, highlights key scan results, and uses color-coded indicators for faster decision-making.

• Smarter, More Actionable Data
  Odometer, MIL status, emissions readiness, and more — all structured and summarized to support real-world business decisions. These key data elements are prominently displayed at the top of the report, enabling quick, easy, and informed decision-making with just a brief review.
