Auto Repair Estimate Automation

Let your AI agent handle the tedious work of calculating detailed repair estimates—so you can focus on client service and claim resolution.

If you’re an auto appraiser, you know the frustration of flipping through Mitchell or CCC ONE, cross-referencing Excel sheets, and re-entering data into insurance portals. Every estimate means hours spent double-checking numbers and formatting reports instead of moving claims forward.

An AI agent that generates precise, itemized parts and labor estimates for vehicle repairs, tailored for auto appraisers and claims adjusters.

What this replaces

Lookup parts prices in CCC ONE for each repair
Cross-reference labor times using Mitchell manuals
Manually enter estimate data into Excel and Audatex
Double-check calculations for insurance claim reports

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In the auto insurance industry, appraisers and claims adjusters often waste hours each week gathering parts prices from CCC ONE, looking up labor times in Mitchell, and manually entering every detail into Excel or Audatex. This repetitive process is slow, prone to errors, and leaves you juggling multiple systems just to produce a single estimate. Even minor mistakes can trigger disputes, rework, or delays in claim payouts.
