Estimate Valet · Remote Estimating
Your photos in. A finished, insurance-ready estimate back the same day.
We write hail estimates for PDR companies and hail operators who have more vehicles than estimating capacity. You send photos and the intake sheet. We send back a complete estimate written the way the insurer expects to receive it.
What you get back
- Complete, insurance-ready estimate — not a rough matrix count
- Typically same-day turnaround, and never a black box on status
- Capacity for 15–25 estimates per day when you're in a surge
- No software seats to buy and no estimator to hire
Send us one vehicle first. Look at the estimate before you send us a second one — there's no onboarding fee and nothing to sign.

Scales with your storm volume
The Problem
In a hail season, estimating is what caps your revenue.
You can always find more technicians. What you can't do overnight is add an experienced hail estimator — and until that estimate is written, the vehicle can't move and you can't bill it.
Volume arrives all at once
A storm doesn't spread its work out. Two hundred vehicles show up in a fortnight and your estimating capacity is exactly what it was last month.
Hiring for a season is a bad trade
A full-time estimator is a year-round cost for a problem that peaks a few weeks at a time — and good hail estimators are hard to find when everyone needs one.
Rewrites bleed margin
An estimate that isn't written to insurer expectations gets kicked back. Every rewrite is unbilled labour and another week the vehicle isn't moving.
Estimate Valet is capacity you turn on and off. In a surge you send us the overflow; in a slow month you send us nothing and it costs you nothing.
What We Do
An estimating department you don't have to employ.
We're hail specialists writing hail estimates all day. That focus is why the estimate comes back complete the first time instead of after two rounds of supplements.
Photo-based estimating
You send photos and basic vehicle and damage information. We write the full estimate from that — no need to ship us the vehicle or give us shop access.
Written for the insurer
Line items, panel counts, and documentation structured the way carriers expect to receive a hail estimate, which is what keeps it from coming back.
Surge capacity on demand
Scale from a handful of vehicles to 15–25 estimates a day when a storm lands, then back down again. You pay for the work, not for standby.
Who It's For
This is built for operators who are capacity-limited, not skill-limited.
This is a good fit if…
- You run a PDR company or hail operation and your estimating is the bottleneck
- Your volume spikes hard in storm season and you don't want a year-round hire
- You want estimates written by hail specialists rather than a general estimator
- You'd rather pay per estimate than carry fixed overhead through a slow quarter
We're probably not your best option if…
- You need someone physically on site to inspect vehicles — this is a photo-based service
- You're a vehicle owner looking for a repair estimate — start on our hail repair page instead
- You need general collision or mechanical estimating outside hail work
- You want us to negotiate the claim on your behalf — we write the estimate, you own the relationship
- Estimates per day capacity
- 0–25
- Typical turnaround or faster

How It Works
Three steps, and the estimate is back before you've reshuffled the schedule.
Send photos and details
Upload your damage photos plus the vehicle and intake information. We'll tell you immediately if anything's missing rather than guessing.
We write the estimate
Our hail estimators build the complete estimate to insurer standards, typically returning it the same day.
You review and submit
The finished estimate comes back to you. You review it, submit it under your own shop, and keep the customer relationship entirely.
Storm surge coming? Tell us your expected volume in advance and we'll reserve capacity for your operation.
How It Works
The estimating process
Photo intake and review
You upload damage photos and vehicle details. We confirm everything is complete before processing.
CCC estimate generation
Our estimators build the complete estimate to carrier standards, typically same-day turnaround.
Delivery and submission
The finished estimate comes back to you, ready to review and submit under your shop.
Proof
What operators say
“Calibrations used to be the bottleneck that held cars in my shop. Now they come to us and the documentation is in the file the same day.”
“Having calibration, PDR overflow, and estimating come from one company means one call and one invoice instead of chasing three vendors.”
The Offer
Why outsource estimating to us instead of hiring?
The honest comparison against the two alternatives: hire someone, or keep absorbing the bottleneck.
Superior
Better than the alternative
- Hail-specialist estimators, not generalists learning your storm on your dime
- Estimates written to carrier expectations, which is what prevents rewrites
- Part of a four-line network — the same file can flow into PDR or calibration if needed
Irresistible
Worth far more than it costs
- Add 15–25 estimates a day of capacity without a single hire
- Pay per estimate — no salary, no software seats, no standby cost in a slow month
- Same-day turnaround keeps vehicles and cash moving through your shop
No-Brainer
Nothing to lose by starting
- Start with one vehicle — no onboarding fee, no contract, no minimum
- You keep the customer relationship and submit under your own shop
- If the estimate isn't right, we revise it — that's on us, not billed to you
Our guarantee: If an estimate we wrote comes back for something we should have caught, we revise it at no charge. Our work is our responsibility.
