Anyone know what date the next NAGS update happens? Thanks.

I don't know the date, Curtis, but get on your knees and beseech your sovereign liege and master NAGS to be merciful to you and generously increase its ridiculous bench mark prices so that peon you may then attempt to eek out a better living for you and your family by faithfully adhering to them like the good loser you are.

Amen, Carlos. They never learn.

Just looking for part information on certain 2018 vehicles and was hoping would be in the new update. Nothing about pricing. Glad to see your resolution about being helpful and kind in the New Year is working out for you.

I apologize, Curtis. I wrongly assumed you were one of the zombies who allow NAGS prices to run their businesses. If NAGS only involved itself with parts identification, then the weak lemmings who comprise too much of our industry would be much better off.

NAGS update effective January 8, 2018

Carlos does Farmers Allstate Amfam Pay your invoices using a Non Nags Formula?

Or do you get your invoices rejected 1st and then have to sue?

Thank you Otto.

AG has asked a very good question and I do hope Carlos will answer it in a sincere and complete manner.

Carlos,Does Farmers,Amfam,Allstate,Progressive,Geico,Ect.

pay your invoices using a non Nags Forulma,or do you get short paid and have to sue

for the short?

Carlos is not alone in his claims. There are others, My Own Man, Freddy, AG, The Donald, Bob, Mark1 AND more that claim to billing direct. Please guys one or more of you please tell us how you do it; answer the question fully, don't just make empty claims here on the forum!

When I do so it gets deleted. Sorry. Maybe another site is what we need.

So Nifty 10---DOES THIS SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU????????????????? Or do you just prefer to moan, groan, and bellyache??????? ----------

1. I have a glass cost

2. I have rent, electricity, water, and phone expenses. I have vehicle expenses. I have employees who get paid fair wages.

3. I have INSURANCE to pay for my vehicles, liability, workman’s comp, property, business interruption, etc.


4. I also get a pay check from my business just like if I was working for someone else.

5. Now instead of running a business, I could take all the money I have invested in my business and all the expenses of the business and throw that money into the bank and receive a really lousy interest rate and go to work for someone else and have a lot fewer headaches.

6. But I DO OWN a business, and therefore want not just “profit”, I want a reasonable ROI--- return on investment. If I am not going to achieve a reasonable ROI, than I will fall back on #5.

7. I take all the above elements and I ADD an amount of money that yields me my reasonable ROI without influence of outside budinskies like NAGS, insurance companies, or TPAs and that is my retail selling price to my customers whether they have insurance or not. And guess what folks– I AM THE ONLY ONE who decides WHAT IS REASONABLE FOR ME!

My company does quality work and enjoys a justifiable excellent reputation in my community. I do not participate in networks and I submit my bills directly to ALL the insurance companies which my customers have coverage with. ALL. One more time: ALL. I do NOT send the bills to my competitors for processing or payment because I am a businessman, not an idiot.

So— everyone wants to know how I pull off this “magic”----

When I started in business years ago using these 7 steps right from the getgo, I was short paid by insurance companies EVERY TIME. And each and every time, we went to court. And each time, we showed the judges all the components of our selling price and thereby DEMONSTRATED to the judges that the selling price was indeed reasonable. We never lost our cases. NEVER. One more time: NEVER.

Yes, folks, this went on for a l-o-n-g time. A very l-o-n-g time. But instead of the insurance companies wearing me down, I FINALLY WORE THEM DOWN! Now I send ALL insurance companies my reasonable bills and I am paid in full. One more time: IN FULL.
