How the Report Works
Inside the AutoEstimatePro Damage Report
Every report your shop receives is built on a 5-step classification framework powered by a 10,367-case correlation database of real auction outcomes, insurance claims, and OEM repair records.
Step 01 · Detection Classification
How we know each part is damaged
Every part is tagged with how we know it's damaged — confirmed from photos, expected from impact data, or statistically inferred from a 10,367-case correlation database built from real auction outcomes, insurance claims, and OEM repair records.
PrimaryPrimary Damage
Directly visible, confirmed damage present in the vehicle photos. Always included in the repair estimate.
e.g. Front Bumper Cover, Grille Assembly
RelatedRelated Damage
Parts statistically expected to be damaged based on the impact zone — surfaced from real collision data even when photos don't show them.
e.g. Front Bumper Energy Absorber, Front Emblem Badge
InferredInferred Damage
Hidden or structural parts flagged through pattern analysis — components you can't see but are likely damaged based on impact type and engineering data.
e.g. Front Bumper Retainers, Hood Latch Area, Radiator Support Upper

Step 03 · Severity Rating
How bad is the damage
Controls repair priority, labor sequencing, and how many inferred parts get flagged as likely failures.
Severe
Structural or safety-critical. Highest labor hours, most likely to cascade into inferred part failures.
Moderate
Functional or visible damage requiring skilled labor. May shift to Replace on secondary inspection.
Minor
Cosmetic or surface-level. Lowest labor estimate, least likely to affect adjacent parts.
Step 04 · Action Decision
Replace, Repair, or Inspect
Assigned per part based on damage type, severity, and OEM repair data.
Replace
Damage exceeds repair threshold — part must be swapped. Labor covers removal, install, and fit verification.
Repair
Skilled labor restores the part to OEM condition. Hours estimated from our database per make, model, and operation.
Inspect
Physical inspection needed before a final decision. Part cost is $0 until confirmed — labor hours still estimated.
Step 05 · Labor Hours Calculation
Where the dollar number comes from
Hours are pulled from our proprietary database per make, model, year, and repair type — not generic flat rates.

Automated estimates are preliminary. Final repair estimates require shop inspection, teardown when needed, and completion through an insurance-approved estimating platform (CCC ONE, Mitchell, Audatex, or a licensed shop-written estimate). This system is designed to complement those platforms, helping shops capture, qualify, and respond to leads faster. AutoEstimatePro has no official partnership or certification with CCC, Mitchell, or Audatex.
Powered by AutoEstimatePro. Reports are delivered into your AutoRepairEstimate.ai lead inbox the moment a customer submits photos through your shop's website.
