A damage estimate,
from photos on your phone.
Choose Collision or Hail/PDR and photograph the vehicle where it sits. Our AI returns a rough dollar range right away; PDR capture also includes AI dent-count guidance. Your submission then goes to an Estimoto human estimator, who prepares the actual final estimate before it is sent or routed. You only pay if you want a portable copy; routing the reviewed estimate to a participating shop costs you nothing.
How it works
Four steps. Here is exactly what we ask for at each one, and why.
- 01
Tell us about the car
Name, email, and the year/make/model, plus the VIN if you have it. That is what lets an estimator price the exact parts your car takes, and where we send the human-reviewed final estimate.
- 02
Say how it's being paid for
Insurance or out of pocket. The two paths collect different things: an insurance claim needs your carrier, policy and claim number; paying yourself needs none of that.
- 03
Photograph the damage
A guided set of shots from your phone: walk-around, then close-ups of the damaged panels. It takes about three minutes. No shop visit, no appointment, no tow.
- 04
Get a rough range, then human review
You see an AI-predicted rough range right away. Your photos and details then go to an Estimoto human estimator, who reviews the work and prepares the actual final estimate before it is sent to you or a repair shop.
Insurance or out of pocket?
You pick this inside the funnel, right after the car details. It changes what we collect and what, if anything, you pay.
Going through insurance
Costs you nothing
We collect the extra photos and claim details your carrier will ask for. You receive the AI rough range first; an Estimoto human estimator then reviews the submission and prepares the actual final estimate before the reviewed package is routed to a repair shop.
- No payment on this path
- Carrier, policy and claim number collected up front
- Extra carrier-required angles in the photo set
- Human-reviewed final estimate before shop handoff
Paying out of pocket
Free shop routing, or $59 for a portable copy
No claim, no carrier, no rate increase. You see the AI rough range first, then an Estimoto human estimator prepares the actual final estimate. Choose whether that reviewed estimate is routed to a participating shop at no charge or delivered as a portable copy you can take anywhere.
- Free damage check before you decide anything
- Every submitted path receives Estimoto human review
- Free if the reviewed estimate is routed to a participating shop
- $59 one-time for a portable copy: there is no subscription
- No final estimate is sent before human review
What it costs if you're paying yourself
Both are offered only after you have seen the free AI rough range. Estimoto reviews every submitted path. Routing the reviewed estimate to a participating shop costs you nothing; keeping a portable copy is a single one-time payment, with no subscription.
