It is a detailed, line-by-line estimate of what it costs to repair your vehicle's collision damage. Rather than a single lump-sum figure, it itemizes labor operations and times, parts and their pricing, and paint and materials. It is prepared using the same industry-standard procedures and databases that body shops and insurance companies work from, which is what makes it something you can bring into a repair or claim discussion.

An experienced collision estimator. Your photos and damage description are reviewed by a person who writes the estimate directly, not processed through an automated damage calculator. That is the difference between this and most online estimating tools.

$49.99 covers minor damage. The final price depends on the extent and complexity of what needs to be repaired, since a single scuffed bumper takes considerably less work to estimate than structural damage across multiple panels. Once we have reviewed your photos, we will confirm the price with you before any work begins. You will never be charged more than the price you agreed to.

Yes. You can bring the estimate to a body shop as a basis for discussion, compare it against an estimate a shop has already given you, or use it to understand the expected cost before choosing where to have the work done. Keep in mind the shop performing the repair will write their own estimate, and the final repair cost can differ once the vehicle is physically inspected and disassembled.

Our estimates follow CCC ONE, Mitchell and Audatex methodology, the same standards used across the collision repair and insurance industries, so the format and reasoning are familiar to adjusters. That said, no independent estimate obligates an insurance company to pay a particular amount. What the estimate gives you is professionally prepared documentation to support your position in the conversation.
