Revisit saved reports, export a PDF, or share a web link with a partner or repair professional. The report becomes a starting point for the inspection and repair conversation.
HOW THE ASSESSMENT WORKS
Five steps.
A more useful estimate.
AutoEstimatePro’s assessment workflow organizes the evidence before estimating the cost.
- 01
Identify the evidence
Classify a finding as primary damage visible in the photos, related damage suggested by the impact, or inferred damage that needs further investigation.
- 02
Describe the damage
Distinguish damage such as a dent, crack, break, scratch, or misalignment so the report explains what may need attention.
- 03
Assess severity
Organize findings as minor, moderate, or severe to help prioritize review. A photo-based severity label does not establish that a vehicle is safe to drive.
- 04
Recommend an action
Assign repair, replace, or inspect to each component. Inspection flags keep unresolved issues visible instead of presenting them as confirmed damage.
- 05
Estimate labor and cost
Combine vehicle- and operation-specific labor information with the selected rate and available parts prices to build the line-item estimate.

GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEAR ANSWERS.

Get to know AutoEstimatePro.
Contact our team ↗What is AutoEstimatePro?
AutoEstimatePro is a vehicle damage and repair estimating tool from AutoEstimatePro LLC. It turns vehicle photos and VIN information into preliminary, itemized reports for auction buyers, car owners, dealers, and repair professionals. Its iPhone app is listed as Car Repair Cost Estimator AI.
Can I estimate car repair costs from photos?
Yes. Submit clear damage photos and vehicle details to create a preliminary estimate. A photo can show visible damage, but cannot confirm every mechanical, structural, or hidden issue. A qualified repair professional should inspect the vehicle before repairs are authorized.
Can I use it for Copart, IAA, or Manheim vehicles?
AutoEstimatePro helps buyers research salvage and auction vehicles, plan repair costs, and evaluate a maximum bid. Auction intake options depend on supported sources and available vehicle data. AutoEstimatePro is independent and is not affiliated with these auction companies.
What goes into a maximum bid?
Start with your expected resale or recovery value. Subtract estimated repairs, auction fees, transport, and your desired margin, then allow a reserve for uncertainty. AutoEstimatePro supports flip, rebuild, and salvage scenarios so you can compare different plans for a vehicle.
Can I buy the parts shown in my estimate?
Reports include shoppable links to supplier listings where available. Confirm fitment, condition, shipping, return terms, and current price with the seller before purchasing. Third-party inventory and prices can change.
Does this replace a body shop estimate or inspection?
No. Reports are preliminary decision-support tools. Final repair scope and price require professional review, and hidden damage can change the total. Shops can use the report as a starting point alongside their existing estimating workflow.
How much does the iPhone app cost?
The app is free to download and offers in-app purchases. See the App Store and in-app purchase screen for the current report and subscription options before buying.
Where can I download the app?
Download Car Repair Cost Estimator AI by AutoEstimatePro LLC from the Apple App Store. Use the download buttons on this page to open the correct listing.
How is this different from asking a general chatbot about damage?
AutoEstimatePro organizes vehicle research into a repeatable report: component-level findings, itemized repair costs, live parts listings, and flip, rebuild, and salvage scenarios. Its purpose is to bring these steps into one workflow. Findings and prices still require verification; the report is not a physical inspection.
Can AutoEstimatePro confirm hidden damage?
No. Related and inferred damage flags identify possibilities for further inspection. Photos cannot confirm all concealed, mechanical, or structural issues. An unpriced or $0 flagged item should not be treated as a zero-cost repair.
How are labor costs calculated?
Estimated operation hours are combined with the labor rate selected for the report. Review the rate and scope against the shop that will perform the work; local rates, vehicle condition, refinishing, and calibration needs can change the total.
How long does a report take?
Reports are designed to be generated in minutes. Processing time varies with the photos, vehicle data, and report workload. Check the status in the app or web tool rather than relying on a guaranteed completion time.
Do I need a VIN to get started?
A VIN helps identify vehicle specifications. AutoEstimatePro also supports starting with your own vehicle photos and available vehicle details. Supply the year, make, model, and as much identifying information as possible; confirm exact fitment before buying parts.
Can I find a body shop after reviewing my report?
Yes. AutoRepairEstimate.ai is a related independent directory where you can compare body shop information and ratings. Choose a facility and arrange an inspection to confirm the repair scope. A listing does not imply that the shop has approved your report.
Is there a web version if I do not use an iPhone?
Yes. Visit AutoEstimatePro.com to use the browser-based service. The iPhone app is listed in the App Store as Car Repair Cost Estimator AI by AutoEstimatePro LLC. Review the purchase terms on the platform you choose.
