Manheim Auctions’ Technical Center in Nashville, Tenn., released Feb. 12 its condition report writing and frame structure class schedule for 2002. The classes are fully endorsed by the National Auto Auction Association (NAAA) and are open to anyone in the automotive industry.



"These classes are essential to anyone in the auction industry who wants to be able to offer their customers top-quality service by keeping up with the latest techniques and trends in condition report writing and frame structure," said Peter Lukasiak, executive director of the NAAA. "We’re very excited to have these courses offered again this year at Manheim’s Technical Center in Nashville."

The condition report writing class covers the basics of condition report writing, fundamentals of a proper inspection and damage category identification, such as prior repair, frame, flood and hail. Current industry terminology and collision manual usage are also covered in the class. The course takes two days to complete.



The frame and structure class provides a comprehensive review of the NAAA’s structural damage policy and takes only one day to complete. Topics covered include identification of automotive frame types, types of damage a structure will incur in a collision and the repair process the collision shops are using today.



"We hope that anyone in the automotive industry who hasn’t been able to participate in our previous classes will take advantage of the schedule," said Dan Dietsch, managing director of the technical center. "We’re proud to be able to contribute to the industry by sharing our knowledge of condition report writing and structural damage."



The classes are being conducted consecutively to allow attendees to take advantage of both courses. The cost for the condition report writing class is $300, and the frame structure class cost $150. Attendees who register for both classes will pay only

$425. Hotel arrangements, including breakfast, are $75 and can be reserved when
