Auto body shops only

Body shop estimates that sit for days

Auto body only. The estimate nobody had time to write is the job that went elsewhere. How a photo estimate is drafted, and why a person approves it.

The estimate nobody had time to write.

The short answer

What it looks like, and what it costs.

Estimates sit because writing one is a focused job and a body shop is full of interruptions — so they slide to the end of the day and then to tomorrow. A photo estimate changes the order of work: the customer sends pictures, a draft estimate is written from the visible damage, and the estimator’s job becomes checking and correcting a draft rather than starting from a blank page. The approval step stays human. This is for auto body shops only; no other trade is sold it.

  • A folder of photos you have not got to yet.
  • Customers ringing to ask where their number is.
  • Estimates written at 8pm because that is the only quiet hour.
  • Jobs lost to whichever shop answered first, not whichever was cheapest.

Before the pitch

What we won't claim

A photo estimate is not a teardown and does not find hidden damage — no photo can. It is a fast first number, not a final one, and any shop telling you otherwise is setting up a supplement argument later.

The fix

What changes, step by step.

Whose job it is: The Quoter

  1. The customer sends photos

    From the chat on your site, on their phone, without an app or a login.

  2. It reads the damage and drafts the estimate

    Panels, operations and the not-included items that get forgotten under time pressure.

  3. You check it and it goes out — or it does not

    It is a draft for an estimator, not an answer to a customer. Nothing reaches them without your approval.
