We’ve been here since 2004, helping independent repairer’s, we provide an Audatex or GT Motive estimating service - fixed prices, free supplementary service, advice and support. We’re here to help independent repairer, giving them access to qualified estimators using the Audatex estimating system on their behalf. Independent repairers can request an estimate at any time, they don’t need an Audatex

account, they simply create an account on our portal via our website, then fill out our Estimate Request Form and send us information and images. We’ll prepare an Audatex estimate on their behalf, once checked and confirmed by the independent repairer - the estimate can then be networked (forwarded) to an insurer for authority. We support independent repairers throughout the whole repair process, giving advice along the way and providing a supplementary service for anything extra found during the repairs - such as hidden damage, extra parts or price changes. Our estimators are bodyshop people, we all understand how difficult it can be for independent repairers out there - with our help, we’ve been bringing them to the table, creating a level playing field for them to compete with insurers who may have taken advantage in the past. Without exception, our current customers have seen an increase in profit since using our services - which is all down to our estimating skills and getting paid for everything they do. We think all independent repairers should have access to Audatex, which can be provided by us or Audatex’s own pay-as-you-go service - we simply bring the skills to make sure the system delivers the results and puts profit back into your business.

In many independent repair businesses, the person preparing the estimate is also the person answering the phone, speaking to customers, checking parts and sometimes repairing or painting the vehicle. The estimate may be important, but it has to fight for attention with everything else.

That is when a backlog can build quietly. The vehicle has been assessed, but the estimate still needs focused time. Another job arrives. A customer calls. A technician needs a decision. By the end of the day, the owner has been busy for ten hours and the estimate is still waiting.

Networked estimating gives repairers another option. Estimate Solutions provides experienced Vehicle Damage Assessor support and can prepare suitable estimates through Audatex or GT Motive where the job requires it. The aim is practical: give the estimate the attention it needs while giving the repairer more time for the workshop and the business.

Outsourcing can be used as regular support or as additional capacity when workload, holidays or sickness put pressure on the team. You remain responsible for sending clear job details and photographs, and our VDA team uses that information to prepare the estimate.

If this sounds familiar, you do not have to wait until the backlog becomes unmanageable. Find out how Estimate Solutions works at https://www.estimatesolutions.co.uk/ or register and submit a suitable job through https://www.estimatesolutions.co.uk/portal

Still on the fence about using Estimate Solutions?

We understand that many repairers already prepare estimates in their usual way and may be unsure whether specialist estimating support would add enough value to justify changing their process.

That is why we are offering you the opportunity to compare the difference on a live job.

Prepare the estimate in your normal manner, using your own current process. The estimate must not have been prepared or reviewed by another external estimator, VDA, estimating service or similar provider.

Then send the job information to Estimate Solutions and allow our experienced team to prepare the estimate professionally, identifying the legitimate operations, repair methods and supporting evidence that may have been missed.

If we do not improve the current estimate value and potential margin, we will complete our work free of charge.

This is not about criticising the way you currently work. It is about giving you a straightforward, no-risk opportunity to see whether specialist estimating support could strengthen your estimates, protect legitimate revenue and improve profitability.

Our Online Portal is designed to make life easy, allowing you to submit the job details and supporting information directly to our team.

Still unsure? Put us to the test and let the figures speak for themselves.

It's always encouraging to hear how our customers feel about working with us, especially those who have trusted us for many years.

Graeme Stuart from recently shared these kind words:

"Estimate Solutions have been absolutely brilliant for us. We have used Andrew and his team for all insurance estimates for the last six years. As a small business of four, their input makes it so much more viable all round. If you don't want the hassle and expense of investing in Audatex, using Estimate Solutions is the best way to maximise your potential as a non-network repairer."

Thank you, Graeme.

Independent repairers are at the heart of everything we do, and hearing that we've helped make a real difference to another family business means a great deal.

We're grateful for your continued support and look forward to working with you for many years to come.

Receiving feedback from customers is always appreciated, particularly when they've worked with us over a number of years.

Robert Marsh, Bury Motor Bodies LTD recently left this comment about his experience with Estimate Solutions:

"Estimate Solutions have helped us every step of the way with some very awkward insurance companies and engineers over the last four or five years. One of the best and most profitable decisions we made as a company was outsourcing our big estimates."

Thank you, Robert.

It's comments like these that remind us why we set the business up in the first place.
Our aim has always been to support independent repairers by taking some of the pressure away. Whether that's preparing a complex estimate, helping with insurer queries or simply being available when advice is needed, we're pleased to know our customers see us as part of their team rather than just another supplier.

We really appreciate your continued support.

One of the most rewarding parts of our job is hearing from customers when we've genuinely made a difference.

Adam Sincliar, Cleethorpes Motors Ltd. recently shared a story that reminded us why we do what we do.

A long-standing customer had chosen Adam to repair their vehicle following a non-fault accident. Unfortunately, after speaking with their insurer, they came back believing they could no longer use his business. They had even been told Adam wasn't VAT registered, which simply wasn't true.

Like many repairers, Adam could have accepted the situation and moved on.
Instead, he gave us a call to explain what had happened.

We looked into the circumstances, challenged the information professionally and worked with the parties involved.

Later that same day, the repair was back where it belonged.

Adam kindly wrote:
*"They don't just network estimates. They do everything possible to earn us as much money as possible. It is the best thing I've done in business to date."*

Comments like that mean a great deal to all of us.

Our job has never been about simply producing estimates. It's about supporting repairers, helping them overcome challenges and making sure they have someone in their corner when situations become difficult.

Thank you, Adam, for sharing your experience and for continuing to put your trust in us.

What is really driving the rising cost of vehicle repairs?

Electric vehicles, ADAS technology, specialist repair methods and global supply-chain pressures are all changing the way accident repairs are assessed, approved and completed.

For independent repairers, the challenge is not simply keeping up with new technology. It is making sure every legitimate operation is identified, evidenced and included from the outset, while insurers continue to scrutinise repair costs more closely.

Our latest article looks at how EV repair complexity, supply-chain disruption and modern vehicle technology are reshaping the UK insurance repair industry, and why accurate estimating is becoming more important than ever.

It also explores the question the industry needs to keep asking: are we still assessing modern repairs using outdated expectations?

Most of the businesses we work with have come to us because another repairer recommended Estimate Solutions.

That's something we're genuinely grateful for.

When someone recommends us, they're putting their own reputation on the line, so we never take that trust for granted. It tells us we're doing something right, and we'd like to say thank you to those customers who continue to support us.

We've introduced a simple referral scheme.

If you know another independent repairer who you think could benefit from the support we provide, get in touch and we'll issue you with your own referral code.

Pass that code on and ask them to quote it when they contact us. Once they become a customer, we'll give you a FREE estimate as a thank you.

There's no complicated process and no pressure. Just one repairer helping another, which is exactly what this industry has always been about.

If you'd like your referral code, just give us a call or send us a message and we'll get one set up for you.
