About Us
Estimate Solutions
are a company of Independent Vehicle Damage Assessors who provide Audatex Damage Estimates for Independent Repairers.
Andrew Hill VDA MIMI, its founder and active vehicle damage estimator, started his career completing an apprenticeship scheme in Vehicle Body Repair Studies with a large commercial accident repair centre in Leicester.
Gaining knowledge and experience over 38 years in the accident repair industry as a Panel Beater, Bodyshop Manager, Group Bodyshop Manager and Estimator, he decided to offer an estimating service to Repairers that didn’t have access to the Audatex Estimating System.
Andrew has been using the Audatex System in its many guises since its launch in the early 90’s, he is fully trained and keeps his license up to date with the latest available courses and information.
He found a need for Independent Repairers
to compete on a level playing field with other repairers, insurance companies and their engineers, as they were tired of being beaten down by their computer saying “NO”. With our experience and guidance, we are able to produce their own Audatex Estimates. Repairs costs are negotiated on a like for like system and they saw their income increasing, for the better.
Estimate Solutions has adapted its services to meet its customers’ needs over the years, and accommodates most, if not all, of its customers’ requirements. We talk their language, share their pain/success and offer a service that’s driven by Bodyshop People for the Bodyshop Industry.
Our services are broad, along with providing Audatex Estimates for Non-Audatex Users we also offer cover to Audatex Users that have a need for holiday/sickness/staff shortages. We also offer Audatex Estimate Reports to existing Vehicle Damage Assessors companies that don’t subscribe to Audatex.
Our services can assist Non-Fault Accident Claims Management companies, providing detailed damage assessments and linking them to Third Party Insurers for a speedy authority process.
Estimate Solutions continues to grow with strength, with Repairers discovering the benefits of our services and adapting their business to better estimating practices they have managed to retain more profit in their repairs.
We aim to support Independent Repairers, new and old, with simple fixed prices and no nonsense advice that speeds up the repair authority process. Linking Repairers with Insurance and Accident Management Companies through the Audatex Estimating System.
