About
Expert estimating.
Personal service.
Best Estimating is a solo operation. Every estimate is handled personally by Lewis Killick — a City & Guilds VDA certified assessor with years of experience in vehicle damage assessment for UK bodyshops and insurers.
Why a solo operator beats a large team.
Larger remote estimating companies spread work across teams of assessors. Quality varies. Communication goes through intermediaries. When something needs querying, you're in a ticket queue.
With Best Estimating, you have one certified expert. The same person who takes your call is the same person who builds your estimate. Queries are resolved the same day because there's no one to pass them to.
That's not a compromise. That's the point.
How we work
Direct access.
You speak with the person doing the work — every time. No account manager, no support ticket, no middleman.
Personal accountability.
When you send work to Best Estimating, one certified assessor owns it start to finish. That means consistency you can rely on.
Bodyshop-first.
We work for you, not the insurer. Our job is to make sure your estimates are accurate, defensible, and paid.
