AutoEstimatePro turns vehicle photos and VINs into preliminary, shoppable repair reports with repair costs, labor estimates, parts sourcing, hidden-damage risk, and bid or repair guidance. From $4.99 per report.
How AutoEstimatePro Works
Upload vehicle photos and a VIN for a preliminary line-item report and auction bid-planning tools. Reports typically take 5–10 minutes after submission; processing time varies. Reports are preliminary estimates that need professional verification before bidding or authorizing repairs. There is no guaranteed accuracy percentage against shop quotes.
Labor and Hidden-Damage Assumptions
Labor assumptions are $25/hour for DIY/auction rebuild, $50/hour for auction flip/part-out, and $65/hour for repair/insurance. These are planning assumptions, not local shop quotes.
Related or inferred damage is unconfirmed until inspected. A $0 line for unconfirmed hidden or related damage is unpriced risk, not free repair or a conservative total; actual repair costs may be higher.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does AutoEstimatePro analyze vehicle damage? Photos and VIN information are used to identify visible damage and suggest repair actions, parts costs, and labor hours. AutoEstimatePro uses a proprietary 10,367-case correlation database to flag possible related or hidden damage. A professional must verify the findings.
How long does a report take? Reports typically take 5–10 minutes after submission; processing time varies.
What is included in every AutoEstimatePro damage report? Reports include a preliminary damage breakdown, parts and labor estimates, parts sourcing, and bid-planning guidance where applicable. Findings and prices require verification.
How does AutoEstimatePro detect hidden or related damage not visible in photos? AutoEstimatePro uses a proprietary 10,367-case correlation database to flag possible related or hidden damage. The analysis considers the visible impact and vehicle information; it cannot confirm damage behind panels or replace a physical inspection. Related or inferred damage is unconfirmed until inspected. A $0 line for unconfirmed hidden or related damage is unpriced risk, not free repair or a conservative total; actual repair costs may be higher.
How are repair labor costs calculated in the report? Estimated operation hours are multiplied by the rate for the report type. Labor assumptions are $25/hour for DIY/auction rebuild, $50/hour for auction flip/part-out, and $65/hour for repair/insurance. These are planning assumptions, not local shop quotes.
How much does an AutoEstimatePro damage report cost? A single report is $4.99. Pro Buyer is $49.99/month — 20 reports/month + full AutoDealerPro DMS. Purchased report credits never expire; subscription allowances reset each billing period.
How accurate are the repair cost estimates? Reports are preliminary estimates that need professional verification before bidding or authorizing repairs. There is no guaranteed accuracy percentage against shop quotes. Photo quality, parts availability, local labor rates, and hidden damage affect the final cost. Related or inferred damage is unconfirmed until inspected. A $0 line for unconfirmed hidden or related damage is unpriced risk, not free repair or a conservative total; actual repair costs may be higher.
