1. At least one machine readable storage medium bearing non-transitory circuit executable instructions which are operable to cause machine operations comprising:
a) at least one repair estimate calculation circuit (RECC) to operate responsive at least in part to received vehicle identifying data corresponding to a vehicle to
determine at least one vehicle part usable to at least one of repair or upgrade the vehicle,
generate a needed parts record (NPR) wherein the NPR includes parts identifying data usable to identify at least one of the vehicle parts,
b) a parts pricing circuit (PPC) to operate responsive at least in part to the parts identifying data included in the NPR to cause a parts pricing record (PPR) to be produced, wherein the PPR includes parts identifying data and respective price data for at least one of the vehicle parts corresponding to the parts identifying data included in the NPR, wherein the PPR has an associated unique identifier (ID),
c) the RECC to operate responsive at least in part to the PPR included data to cause a repair order record corresponding to the repair or upgrade of the vehicle to be generated,
d) PPR included data to be made available to a parts order circuit (POC), through operation of at least one of the RECC and the PPC, responsive at least in part to receipt of data corresponding to the ID from the POC,
wherein the POC is enabled to operate responsive at least in part to the PPR included data to cause at least one vehicle part corresponding to the PPR included data to be made available to a vehicle repair entity (VRE) to install on the vehicle.
