Frequently asked questions
Got questions about remote estimators? We’ve got answers!
How does a Remote Estimator accurately assess damage without seeing the vehicle in person?
Our Remote Estimate Writing process relies on the “Digital Double” method. Your shop team provides high-resolution photos or a quick video walk-around via your preferred workshop management software (like iBodyshop). Because our team consists of trade-qualified VDAs (Vehicle Damage Assessors), we know exactly where to look for hidden damage, structural misalignment, and ADAS requirements that a standard photo might miss. We bridge the physical gap with technical expertise.
Which software platforms do you support?
We are fully proficient in the primary Australian platforms required for professional Remote Estimate Writing. This includes iBodyshop, Audatex (AudaNet), Creshzone Repairshop and others. We can work via guest login credentials on your existing server, ensuring that all data stays within your business ecosystem and integrates perfectly with your internal job tracking and parts ordering
Will your estimates be compliant with the "Big Three" Australian insurers?
Absolutely. A key benefit of our Remote Estimate Writing service is our deep knowledge of the specific quoting guidelines for IAG, Suncorp, and QBE. We stay up-to-date with the latest PNET/NTAR rates and insurer-specific “funny money” conversions. Our goal is to provide a “clean” estimate that passes through insurer audits the first time, reducing the need for back-and-forth negotiations.
What is the typical turnaround time for a remote estimate?
Efficiency is the core of our service. For standard digital assessments, our Remote Estimator team typically delivers a completed, professional quote within 24 hours of receiving the vehicle data. For urgent “supplementaries” needed while a car is already on the jig, we offer an express service to ensure your technicians aren’t left waiting and your key-to-key times remain low
How does Remote Estimate Writing save my shop money?
Hiring a full-time, on-site estimator in Australia today involves high salary costs, superannuation, leave loading, and office space overheads. By using our Remote Estimate Writing service, you only pay for the volume you need. Whether you are covering staff leave or need help with a massive overflow of hail or collision claims, you get senior-level VDA expertise without the fixed-cost burden of an additional employee.
