Start from a draft, not a blank page
Upload basic details and PanelGear's advanced AI quoting drafts your quote in minutes. You can then review and approve quotes to be sent out, saving your shop time and money.
Learn morePanelGear's AI reads the damage photos and drafts the assessment, with each part's repair, remove-and-refit and paint calls — for example: Front Bumper, replace, remove and refit, paint, blending Front Guard (L) and Front Guard (R); Bonnet, repair, paint; Headlamp (R), replace, remove and refit.
Say goodbye to save buttons and locked records
Multiple people can work a job at once and see each other's changes live. There are no save buttons and no locked records - everything is saved the instant it changes.
Learn moreLachlan, Mikaela and Jess work the same quote at once, each on a different line — changing the hours on the Front Bumper and the Headlamp (R), and adding a line for the Front Guard (L) — and every change reaches everyone the instant it is made. There are no save buttons and no locked records.
Expand your reach with branded forms
Allow your customers to send through details of damage to their vehicle with our guided online quote request forms, saving their time coming in and allowing your staff to focus on other tasks.

Search for standardised line items
Start typing a panel or part and PanelGear finds the matching standard line items, including the standard time allowances and paint rates. Compatible with insurer line items, as well as your custom lines.
Learn moreSearching line items narrows the list as you type — the insurer's lines and your own custom ones together — and the line you pick fills in its hours and price. For example: Front Bumper, Front Bumper Reinforcement, Bumper Grille, Bonnet + Pad & Fittings, Bonnet Hinge (L), Headlamp (L), Headlamp (R), Front Guard (L), Front Guard (R), Grille, Tail Lamp (L), Scuttle Panel, Bumper Scuff Repair, Headlight Restoration.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the AI quoting?
The AI gives you a strong first draft from the basic details you provide. It's a starting point that saves time; you always review and set final pricing.
How fast can PanelGear write up a smash repair quote using AI?
This is dependent on the severity of the damage, but usually takes less than 5-10 minutes.
How many users can edit a quote at once?
In theory, all your staff can be editing the same quote at once! PanelGear supports real-time multi-user editing. Everyone sees changes live and every edit is auto-saved, so there are no locked records or lost work.
Does it replace my current estimating software?
It doesn't have to. Many shops run PanelGear alongside their existing estimating and management tools to speed up quoting. See our Compare page for an honest breakdown.
