The problem · and what actually changes
Quotes that sit for days
Estimates sit because writing one is a focused job and the 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, the software drafts the estimate 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.
What it looks like in a shop
- →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.
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.
Whose job this is
The Quoter
- Step 1
The customer sends photos
From the chat on your site, on their phone, without an app or a login.
- Step 2
It reads the damage and drafts the estimate
Panels, operations and the not-included items that get forgotten under time pressure.
- Step 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.
