When bodyshops call us

01

Holiday cover.

Your estimator is away. Deadlines don't stop. We step in and keep estimates flowing — same standard, on time.

02

Sick cover.

Someone calls in. You have vehicles queuing. Contact us in the morning and we'll clear your backlog by end of day.

03

Overflow support.

Business is good — too good for your current headcount. Send us the overflow. We turn it around in 24 hours.

What bodyshops say

“Best Estimating has transformed how we handle our overflow work. The 24-hour turnaround is reliable, and the estimates are always spot-on with what insurers expect. Saves us hiring another full-time assessor.”

Workshop Manager — Sussex Bodyshop

“We've been using Best Estimating for over a year. The attention to detail is exactly what we need. Direct communication with the assessor makes resolving queries quick and painless.”

Operations Director — South East Repair Centre

“Finally, a remote estimating service that actually understands bodyshop needs. The EV and hybrid expertise has been invaluable as we see more of those vehicles coming through.”

Body Shop Principal — Kent Vehicle Repairs
