The Glassmatix repair estimating system is now available with parts prices and repair times data for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

The German carmaker recently permitted selected third parties to negotiate for access to its vehicle data following changes in EU Block Exemption rules.

EurotaxGlass's is initially adding the Mercedes parts and repair data most in demand by Glassmatix users, prioritising the key datasets for the C-class, A-class and E-class.

"It is clearly important that more bodyshops have the opportunity to access comprehensive Mercedes parts and repair data, and we are very pleased that such information is now available through Glassmatix," says Iain Burkinshaw, business development manager at EurotaxGlass's.

"Assimilating this vast quantity of official data within Glassmatix and our other service and repair products is a significant challenge, so we will tailor our development programme to incorporate the data most needed by our customers and the wider repair community," he said.
