Collision estimating
The expensive mistake is the part nobody looked behind.
A bumper absorbs a hit and looks survivable. The radiator support behind it does not. Write the estimate from what the photographs show and the supplement comes later, after the car is apart, after the customer has been quoted, and after the job stopped being profitable. The damage you can see is the easy half.
- The vehicle firstThree independent readers have to agree before a penny is costed: what the photographs show, the VIN decode, and a reference photograph of the same model and generation.
- When they disagreeIt says so. On the estimate in the film the reference check comes back no on both model and generation, and the run asks a person to confirm by eye or by VIN rather than pressing on.
- DamageRead against that body style’s own parts list, so the lines are parts that exist on this vehicle rather than a generic assembly.
- PricesLooked up live, per part. What the search could not answer is labelled a baseline band — not quietly filled in with a plausible number.
- LabourGuide baselines, labelled as such. The photo read’s own hours are a second opinion, and where the two disagree the line is flagged rather than averaged.
- Hidden damageWhat is probably behind the visible damage comes back as a checklist to confirm or clear — a tick box per part, not a guess folded into the total.
- Total lossTested against the governing state threshold, cited rather than asserted, so the call can be checked.
It proposes. The estimator decides. Every uncertain line arrives as a box somebody has to tick, every price says where it came from, and nothing is averaged away to make a number look tidy. The checklist is also the feedback loop: what was marked likely and found damaged, against what was marked and cleared, is how the next estimate gets better.
