Amendment Form
Repair shops use the Amendment form to list and request additional parts, sublets, and repair operations from MPI. Shops must include all supporting documents, photos, and invoices with the form to complete the request.
The estimator reviews the Amendment form, notifies the repair shop of the outcome of their review, and adds approved parts and operations to an estimate supplement.
Instructions
- Estimate Amendment forms are fillable PDFs and must be completed on a computer, then submitted by fax with the appropriate cover sheet.
- Price-only changes to an approved estimate must be sent directly to Claims Audit Unit when submitting for payment.
- Requested items must be supported with pictures and/or documentation.
- Before faxing the form, confirm that the fax cover sheet and supporting documents are in the correct order to ensure that they are processed correctly. Documents out of order can create delays in the supplement approval process.

Examples
- A repair shop finds additional damage after completing the initial repairs on a light vehicle claim. The repair shop completes the Estimate Amendment - Light Vehicle for the additional damage. The fax cover sheet, completed amendment, and all supporting documentation is sent to MPI for review.
- A repair shop has begun the supplement process for their customer’s off-road vehicle. The original MPI estimate had several $1.00 items, so the shop obtained all part prices and labour operations for the original estimate as well as the additional damage they found. The shop adds all the required information to the Estimate Amendment - All Other Registration Types and submits it with a cover sheet, photos, and supporting documentation to MPI for review.
