Pricing & contracts
Listing your shop is free. Every shop gets a free, fast, mobile-friendly directory page that doubles as your website — no build fee and no setup fee. The only paid product is the live photo-estimate widget: $99/month (limited-time introductory price, regularly $299) through AutoEstimatePro, which handles billing and the lead dashboard. No per-lead fees, no surprise charges.
No. The free listing is free with no commitment. The instant estimate widget is $99/mo (limited-time, regularly $299) month-to-month through AutoEstimatePro — cancel anytime. There's no setup fee and no long-term contract.
No setup fee and no build fee — your listing and directory page are 100% free. The only charge is the optional instant photo-estimate widget — $99/month (limited-time introductory price, regularly $299) through AutoEstimatePro, with no per-lead fees and no hidden charges. Other add-on packages (e.g. a professional photo/video shoot or paid ad management) are optional and quoted separately if you want them.
Yes. Your directory page is free, fast, mobile-friendly, and doubles as your website — there's nothing to build or pay for. If you want estimates on autopilot, add the instant photo-estimate widget for $99/month (limited-time, regularly $299) through AutoEstimatePro. One closed insurance job typically covers it many times over.
How it works
Your directory page is already live in our nationwide directory. Claiming your free listing on AutoEstimatePro takes minutes, and turning on the instant photo-estimate widget is just as quick once you're set up.
Not at all. Claim your free listing on AutoEstimatePro, add your shop info and photos, and you're set. If you add the instant estimate widget, AutoEstimatePro handles billing and the lead dashboard for you.
Keep it. Your free directory page works alongside any existing website — and because it's a fast, mobile-friendly page at no cost, many shops use it as their main site. Add the instant estimate widget whenever you're ready.
We have no official partnership, certification, or technical integration with CCC ONE, Mitchell, or Audatex. What the widget produces is a structured, preliminary estimate delivered to your lead dashboard — your estimator reads it and references it while writing the final estimate in whatever platform they already use. Nothing about your existing estimating workflow changes.
Ownership & control
You do. Claim your free listing on AutoEstimatePro to manage your shop details, services, hours, and photos. The directory page is free to keep — no setup fee and no hosting fee.
You do, 100%. Leads from the instant estimate widget route to your lead dashboard on AutoEstimatePro (and optionally to your inbox or existing CRM). We never resell, share, or remarket your leads.
Update your listing anytime on AutoEstimatePro — services, hours, photos, and contact info. It's all included free, with no edit fees.
The estimate system
It's accurate enough for a preliminary read — that's exactly what we call it. The system pulls VIN data, detects damaged components, sources parts pricing, and estimates labor. Your estimator validates it before any final quote goes out. We never ship a number to a customer without a human in the loop.
The report is a starting point, not a final estimate. Your estimator sees the system's read alongside the customer photos and can adjust anything before it reaches the customer. Every report carries a disclaimer that the final estimate requires shop inspection.
The intake captures whether the customer has an active claim, which carrier, and routing info. We don't replace DRP relationships — we make sure the lead lands in your inbox already pre-qualified so you can route it correctly.
