For decades, Eurotax (now part of the Audatex/Solera group) has been the silent authority—the Swiss arbiter of crashed bumpers, dented fenders, and scratched alloy wheels. Their repair estimates are the gospel of the bodyshop: cold, precise, and profoundly boring.
Thus, is the belief that humor is divine, and it must be present in every single estimate line .

Think of this as a piece of speculative tech-humor journalism.
