There are lots of programs out there that search for edges or differing light conditions, but I have yet to see one that did a batch-job well.  Knowing that batch isn't a consistently reliable method I have to assume your person is manually inspecting each image.  I wouldn't call that a very scalable business, but that's his problem.

<Disclaimer on next statement>I must admit that I have a trained eye.  I am an avid photographer and have years of experience with Photoshop from a photography and graphic design standpoint, so I might be seeing more here than the average person </end Disclaimer>  This image looks insanely fake to me.  The reflections on the body and in the window lack context so they immediately hurt my eyes when looking at this.  The driver's side windows are the ones that really stick out.  It just isn't natural.

I must admit there are some pieces that are truly outstanding:

1.  The pavement cutoff

2.  The smooth edges where the background was cut out on the vehicle

Those are tough things to do and take some time.  If he was able to mask the reflective parts of the windows and duplicate the body areas to stop the reflections there, you'd have something very special.
