The article reviews hidden damage inspections, insurance approvals, and the factors affecting collision repair estimate costs.

PATCHOGUE, N.Y., Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What should drivers understand about collision repair estimates after an accident?

HelloNation has published an article featuring Gil Phillips of Big n' Littles Auto Body in Patchogue, NY, explaining how technicians evaluate collision damage, prepare repair documentation, and work with insurance companies throughout the repair process.

The article explains that many drivers view a collision repair estimate as simply a list of repair costs, but the process involves a detailed inspection of both visible and hidden damage. According to the article, understanding how a collision repair estimate is created may help drivers feel more informed when discussing repairs with an insurance company or an auto body repair estimate specialist after an accident.

One of the primary topics discussed throughout the article is the initial vehicle inspection process. Technicians typically begin by examining damaged bumpers, doors, headlights, fenders, and exterior panels while documenting visible collision damage through notes and photographs. The article explains that collision repair estimates often include both cosmetic concerns and structural issues that may not be immediately visible. During this stage, the auto body repair estimate may also be used to support insurance company documentation requirements and repair planning decisions.

Hidden damage is another major focus covered in the article. A vehicle may appear to have only minor exterior problems while underlying systems such as alignment components, suspension parts, or structural supports have also been affected. According to the article, hidden damage can sometimes remain undiscovered until technicians begin disassembling the vehicle during the repair process. Structural repairs involving the frame, mounting points, or safety systems may significantly affect both repair timelines and total repair costs.

The article also explains how technicians use specialized software, measuring tools, and manufacturer repair procedures when preparing a collision repair estimate. The estimate generally includes labor costs, paint materials, replacement parts, refinishing procedures, and projected repair times based on the severity of the collision damage. Labor charges may vary depending on the complexity of structural repairs and the extent of hidden damage discovered during inspection.

Part replacement is another important factor influencing both repair costs and repair timelines. Depending on the severity of the accident, technicians may recommend part replacement for damaged bumpers, mirrors, lights, support structures, or body panels. The article explains that some repairs involve original manufacturer parts while others may use aftermarket or recycled components based on insurance company guidelines and customer preferences. Delays involving specialized or difficult-to-source parts may also affect repair completion schedules.

Paint and refinishing procedures are also discussed throughout the article. Modern vehicles often use advanced finishes requiring computerized color matching systems and detailed blending techniques. The article notes that paint preparation, refinishing labor, and curing procedures all contribute to the final collision repair estimate. Vehicles with specialty finishes or complex paint systems may require additional refinishing work compared to standard paint applications.

Insurance company approval is another important step reviewed within the article. Depending on the claim process, an insurance company may inspect the vehicle directly or review repair documentation electronically before authorizing repairs. The article explains that supplemental estimates are common when additional hidden damage is discovered after disassembly begins. In these situations, technicians submit updated documentation and revised repair costs so the insurance company can approve additional structural repairs or part replacement work before repairs continue.

Repair timelines are also discussed throughout the article. Minor cosmetic repairs may move through the process quickly, while extensive collision damage often requires additional inspections, insurance company approvals, and specialized parts ordering. Drivers are encouraged to review every auto body repair estimate carefully and ask questions regarding labor charges, repair methods, and expected timelines before repairs begin.

The article concludes by emphasizing that a collision repair estimate creates a roadmap for restoring a vehicle safely and properly after an accident. From hidden damage inspections and structural repairs to refinishing and insurance company approval, every stage plays an important role in determining repair quality and overall repair costs.

How Do Collision Repair Estimates Work After an Accident? features insights from Gil Phillips, Auto Repair Expert of Patchogue, NY, in HelloNation.

Distributed Energy Infrastructure Celebrates Harvest of Groundbreaking Cranberry Agrivoltaic Wetlands

Two first-of-their-kind solar sites are producing energy over cranberry bogs

KINGSTON, Mass., Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Distributed Energy Infrastructure (DEI), a leading EPC provider for utility-scale solar and storage projects, announces the harvest of two groundbreaking cranberry agrivoltaics projects: the Black Cat Agrivoltaics Project in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and the Ring Road Agrivoltaics Project in Kingston, Massachusetts. Together, these projects have produced the first-ever agrivoltaic cranberry harvests – a milestone for expanding agrivoltaic applications into challenging wetland environments.

The projects are owned by developer Greenbacker Renewables were installed by Distributed. Cranberry farmer Iain Ward, who manages the bogs, was closely involved throughout design and construction to ensure that the sensitive wetland environment remained intact.

"The DEI team was phenomenal at understanding and adapting solar construction so that energy production could coexist without damage to the perennial cropping system," says Iain Ward. "These projects prove that with the right approach, dual-use solar can be applied to a wide variety of agricultural environments. If we can build over such challenging wetland areas and have successful harvests, we can build almost anywhere."

Farmer-focused agrivoltaics, or dual-use solar, offers a predictable income stream for landowners and tenant farmers while safeguarding farmland from the permanent changes of urban development. Before the solar installations, the Black Cat and Ring Road cranberry bogs had become financially unviable and lay fallow for many years. The solar projects now provide the landowner with additional income through land leasing, making the bogs' cultivation economically viable again. Iain Warde is paid for agricultural management, in addition to his income from selling the cranberry crops.

"Building solar projects over active perennial wetland crops was an exciting challenge, and we're thrilled to see the success of these harvests," says Prateek Tare, Executive Vice President and Co-founder of DEI. "Iain's collaboration and input at every stage was essential for us to ensure a reliable, cost-effective build while safeguarding the productivity of these heritage bogs."

The 1 MW Black Cat project features an energy storage system with a rated power of 500 kVA and an installed energy capacity of 2700 kWh. The 4.4 MW Ring Road project is paired with a 13.5 MWh battery energy storage system. The projects provide clean energy through a community solar model paired with battery storage, boosting local grid resilience, expanding the local tax base through new revenue, and supporting Massachusetts' SMART and Clean Peak Standard goals.

Both projects were finalists for the North American Agrivoltaics Awards, and both Ward and DEI are founding members of the Solar & Farming Association (SAFA). SAFA is a coalition of organizations representing the interests of the agrivoltaics industry, including developers, agricultural producers, livestock producers, and affiliated organizations.

Vallar Brings American-Made Alternative to Asphalt to Kenya, Targeting the Continent's Unpaved Road Challenge

U.S. clean-chemical company meets with Government of Kenya, civil society leaders and the U.S. Embassy during AmCham Kenya visit in Nairobi

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vallar Advanced Systems, Inc. ("Vallar"), an American company that makes environmentally clean chemical technology for road building, has finished a visit to Nairobi. The team attended the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Kenya event and met with senior leaders from government and civil society.

During the visit, Vallar presented its alternative to asphalt to the Government of Kenya. The company also put forward a plan for one of the most persistent infrastructure problems across Africa: unpaved secondary and rural roads. These roads link farms to markets, children to schools, and patients to clinics. Without a stable surface, many become impassable in the rainy season and throw up harmful dust in the dry season. Keeping them in shape takes constant regrading, which costs a great deal.

Vallar's technology works on the native soil itself. It turns earth roads into durable, all-weather surfaces without the cost, heavy equipment or environmental burden of conventional asphalt. Vallar's products are non-toxic and water-based, so they offer governments a cleaner way to extend road networks where they are needed most.

"Kenya's secondary roads carry its economic future, from agriculture to trade to access to basic services," said Jeremy Flynn, Chief Executive Officer of Vallar Advanced Systems. "We were proud to present to the Government of Kenya a solution that is affordable, environmentally responsible and built to last. Unpaved roads are a challenge across the entire continent, and we believe Kenya can lead the way in solving it."

The Vallar team also met with the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi. Vallar's technology is 100% developed and manufactured in the United States. The company sees its work in Kenya as a direct expression of the commercial partnership between the two countries: American innovation serving the people of Kenya.

"As an American company, it meant a great deal to engage with the U.S. Embassy and the AmCham community," Flynn added. "We came to Nairobi to build long-term partnerships, and we look forward to continuing these conversations with our Kenyan counterparts."

Vallar plans to continue its talks with Kenyan government stakeholders and partners in the coming months.

About Vallar Advanced Systems, Inc.

Heavy-duty repair shops can now run their books in the same system as their work orders, invoices, and payments

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ShopView today announced the launch of AccountingHub, a native accounting add-on for its heavy-duty repair shop management platform. AccountingHub gives independent truck, trailer, diesel, and equipment repair shops the option to manage their books without transferring transactions into separate accounting software.

Most repair shops rely on separate shop management and accounting systems, requiring office teams to transfer transactions, reconcile records, and maintain parallel account structures. AccountingHub eliminates much of that work by connecting invoices, payments, purchases, deposits, fees, and refunds directly to a general ledger through configurable account mappings.

AccountingHub automates several recurring accounting tasks. Shops can schedule customer statements, review aging reports with invoice-level detail, and manage bills, vendor credits, and payments with clear visibility into upcoming due dates.

The platform also automates routine adjusting entries and provides fiscal-period controls to protect completed accounting periods from unauthorized changes. When corrections are required, reversal records preserve the accounting history and audit trail.

For multi-location operators, AccountingHub provides consolidated financial statements alongside reporting by shop or class. Operators can compare effective labor rates, gross margins, and financial performance across facilities without maintaining separate spreadsheets.

Role-based permissions allow owners, office staff, and outside accountants to access the information appropriate to their responsibilities. Shops that prefer to continue using QuickBooks can retain ShopView's existing QuickBooks integration.

ShopView is also introducing bookkeeping services for shops that would rather hand the work over entirely. Shops can run AccountingHub themselves, or have ShopView's team keep the books for them using the same system their work orders already live in.

AccountingHub is available immediately to ShopView users as an add-on to the ShopView platform.

Existing customers can enable AccountingHub through their ShopView settings. New customers can start a free trial without a contract or credit card.

As AI workloads increase in volume and complexity, Texas Instruments is delivering the essential solutions needed to power, monitor and optimize AI data centers

News highlights:

- TI's ADC34DSO75 is the industry's highest performance 3 gigasamples per second ADC, enabling 24/7, low-power, event-based remote monitoring at nanosecond resolution – thousands of times faster than what current solutions offer.

- The LMI800PS is the industry's first 800V isolated hot-swap controller, replacing a complex discrete solution requiring five integrated circuits with a single high-density package that delivers in-rush current and power path protection.

- The LMK6B is a bulk acoustic wave-based oscillator that delivers best-in-class jitter performance and power-supply rejection ratio.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit, Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) debuted the first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to enable 24/7, low-power, event-based remote monitoring at nanosecond resolution.

As AI workloads rapidly increase, data center operators face significant challenges around power instability, inadequate real-time monitoring and signal degradation, all of which can lead to costly downtime. TI is addressing these challenges through its new ADC device and other analog solutions designed to tackle the challenges of scaling artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructures. Demonstrations on display in TI's booth, No. E45, at OCP include:

- Real-time nanosecond-level telemetry: TI's ADC34DSO75 is the industry's highest performance 3 gigasamples per second (GSPS) ADC, enabling 24/7, low-power, event-based remote monitoring at nanosecond resolution – thousands of times faster than what current solutions offer. Existing monitoring solutions often fail to detect the nanosecond-level power-rail glitches that cause costly, unplanned downtime in data centers. By combining ultra-high-speed sampling with advanced on-chip digital signal processing in a small form factor, the ADC34DSO75 detects and captures transient fault events in real time.

As the industry's first solution to offer fully remote, event-based telemetry, the device eliminates the need for on-site debugging and oscilloscopes. By providing continuous, high-resolution monitoring of low-voltage, high-current power rails, the ADC34DSO75 helps data centers minimize downtime – which can cost operators hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour – while optimizing grid power efficiency. This compact, efficient solution offers hyperscalers unmatched remote diagnostic capabilities at a fraction of the size and cost of conventional monitoring methods.

- Reliable high-voltage power delivery: The LMI800PS is the industry's first 800V isolated hot-swap controller, replacing a complex discrete solution requiring five integrated circuits with a single high-density package that delivers in-rush current and power path protection. The integration of an isolated bias supply and PMBus telemetry reduces board area by more than 60% and simplifies high-voltage designs. The LMI800PS enables safe power insertion and fast fault isolation, meeting safety standards with 5kVrms reinforced isolation and more than 8mm creepage. This prevents a single load failure from disrupting the shared power bus and maximizes data center stability. Supporting both ±400V and 800V distributions, the device provides a scalable solution for diverse rack architectures, accelerating the deployment of high-efficiency power systems required for next-generation AI infrastructures.

- Ultra-low jitter signal integrity: The LMK6B is a bulk acoustic wave (BAW)-based oscillator that delivers best-in-class jitter performance and power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR). As data center transmission rates approach 3.2Tbps, the margin for timing error shrinks significantly, and even minute jitter can increase bit error rates and cause system instability. The LMK6B provides industry-leading jitter performance of 9.6fs at 625MHz, ensuring reliable performance and preserving signal integrity for next-generation, AI-driven networking infrastructures.

"As AI workloads drive massive scale, the need for real-time visibility and architectural stability has never been greater," said Karthik Vasanth, vice president and general manager for TI's Data, Converters and Clocks business unit. "By delivering industry-leading solutions for high-speed telemetry, advanced power protection and precision timing, TI is enabling hyperscalers and operators to design the next generation of AI data centers with optimized performance and minimal downtime."

More details

Also at OCP, TI Power Electronics Engineer David Reusch will present "800V Data Center DC/DC Design Considerations, Topology Comparisons and Trade-Offs," on Oct. 15 at 2:45 p.m. in room 230A. See ti.com/ocp for more information.
