INTEGRATED AUTOMATED ANALYSIS AND REPAIR

An integrated highly automated analysis system employs a technician terminal for displaying a plurality of inspection screens, and for entering inspection results. The technician terminal generates an inspection report after the inspection results have been input. A point-of-sale terminal is used to generate a cost estimate report in response to the generation of the inspection report and also generates an invoice report. The system includes a plurality of databases, including an inspection guideline database, a specifications database (containing specifications), a customer/inspection database (containing prior inspection records), and a parts catalog database (containing part numbers and part costs).
