MyPriceLink delivers real-time collision parts prices at the time an estimate is written. While the workflow for MyPriceLink orders is the same as other transactions in CollisionLink, the suggested list price from your estimate will be checked with MyPriceLink to make sure you have the latest price.
If you are not importing estimates into CollisionLink Shop, you can still use the MyPriceLink Price Lookup to view the latest pricing and provide a quote to your dealer.
Reminder: Since MyPriceLink provides real-time pricing based on market dynamics (as opposed to a static price tape), part pricing may vary from repair to repair.
Note: MyPriceLink is only available for GM.
To process your CollisionLink order:
- Export your estimate(s) from your estimating system.
- If you have the manual import option turned on, click Import Estimate to bring in your estimate. Otherwise, click Refresh to immediately display new orders.
- Find your order on the Unsent Orders list. Confirm the correct Dealer is selected. (If not, click the drop-down to select the right one.)
- Click the vehicle link to view order details.
- Upon importing the estimate, CollisionLink may adjust the Payer name to ensure an accurate OE List price is calculated.
- To provide a more accurate price, update the Mileage field if blank.
- The MyPriceLink Quote # will display. This number will automatically be sent over to the dealer through CollisionLink when you click Send.
- The Est. Price field will display the list price imported from the estimating system.
- For collision parts, the MyPriceLink suggested list price will display in the OE List field. Non-collision parts will display the information from the price tape.
- If the OE List price is different from the price from your estimating system, it will display in bold. Click Send Price Updates to export the updated information to your estimating system.
- For non-OE specified part lines, if the OE substitute part number is available, the OE List price will display. This allows you to immediately compare the real-time OE list price to the non-OE list price. If you wish to purchase the OE part and receive credit for any OEM promotional program, the part must be updated to OEM in your estimating system and re-imported into CollisionLink.
- If available, review the Upfront Price displayed as an alternative to the non-OE part on your estimate and the Profit Margin column to see how much potential profit your shop will make on the OE part if purchased. Note: Upfront pricing will only display for parts you have designated as non-OE in your estimate.
- In orders with upfront pricing, make a selection from the Request column:
- Quote: You would like a quoted price for the OEM-equivalent part.
- Accept OEM: You accept the upfront price for the OE part and would like to order it instead of the non-OE part that was initially on your estimate.
- Order: You would like to order the OEM-specified part.
- Do Not Process: You do not want the part quoted or ordered (in case you have the part in your shop's stock or for some other reason).
- Click Send to submit the order to your dealer.
- Once your dealer responds to the order or quote request, use the Jobs tab to view the response. If the OE List price is different from the price from your estimating system, it will be highlighted. Click Send Price Updates to export the updated information to your estimating system.
Note: Once a MyPriceLink quote is sent (shop clicks Send) to the dealer through CollisionLink, the estimate is now a CollisionLink transaction. The MyPriceLink Quote ID that was generated (either within the estimating system or CollisionLink Shop) cannot be searched for or fulfilled within MyPriceLink.
