Hello, my name is Noor Hamdan. I'm an estimator.
How do I get a repair estimate?
A repair estimate is a written list of the parts, labor and paint a repair may need, with their costs. Some insurers also start one from photos sent through an app.
At the shop, an estimator looks over the car, takes photos and notes the damage. Hidden damage behind panels may only show once the car is taken apart. The estimate can then change, and the shop may send the insurer an update called a supplement.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your service. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your estimator can explain what applies to your own car.
Thanks for watching.
