quote your panel beating jobs in minutes, not hours, with ai
Upload a few basic details and photos of the damage to the vehicle, and PanelGear's AI will assess each damaged panel, decide repair or replace, and turn it into a priced draft quote for you to review.
PanelGear'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.
Estimating was never the slow part of writing a quote. Deciding what a panel needs takes seconds once you're looking at it. What eats the day is the write-up: finding the right line item, working out the hours and paint units, and typing it all out for every damaged panel on the car. PanelGear's AI does that write-up for you, so a job that used to take the better part of an hour to quote starts as a five to ten minute review instead.
It works the same way whether the photos came from a customer's own phone through your branded quote request form or from a staff member walking the car in your own workshop. The moment photos land against a quote request, the assessment starts.
From photos to a priced draft

Upload a few basic details of the damage
With just a few details about the vehicle and the damage, as well as photos of the damaged areas, PanelGear's collision repair quoting AI can quickly assess the situation. These details can come from a customer through your branded quote request form or from a you and your team using our collaborative tools.

AI assesses each damaged part
From the details you provide, the quoting AI identifies each damaged panel and decides whether it should be repaired or replaced. It picks the right line item for each panel and calculates the hours and paint units that belong to it, so you get a complete draft quote rather than a damage report you still have to price yourself.

It becomes priced quote lines
Once the AI has assessed the damage, it converts the findings into priced quote lines based on your standard rates and line items. these lines are then presented to you in a draft quote format, ready for your review and adjustments.

You review, adjust and send
From the draft, you and your team can review the proposed quote lines, make any necessary adjustments, and then send it to the customer.
Designed around how damage actually gets assessed
A draft in minutes
Most jobs come back with a draft in five to ten minutes, depending on how much damage there is to work through.
You stay the estimator
Every line carries a confidence score. Nothing is sent to a customer or insurer until you've reviewed and priced it.
Works from details you already take
No extensive details needed - PanelGear's AI knows its job.
AI quoting questions
How accurate is the AI quoting?
The AI gives you a strong first draft from the photos you provide, with a confidence score on every panel. It's a starting point that saves time; you always review the assessment and set final pricing before anything goes out.
How long does it take to draft a quote?
This depends on the severity of the damage and how many photos there are to work through, but it usually takes less than five to ten minutes from upload to a complete draft.
Does it replace the estimator?
No. It handles the write-up: finding line items, working out hours and paint units, typing it all out. Deciding what's actually damaged and what it's worth is still yours; the AI just gives you a draft to start from instead of a blank quote.
What photos does it need?
A walk-around of the vehicle plus close-up shots of the damage. The customer quote request form guides customers through the right shots automatically, or you and your staff can upload photos from the app.
Does it work for insurance and private jobs the same way?
Yes. The assessment itself doesn't change. It's the line items and allowances applied afterwards that follow whichever insurer the job is for, or your own rates for a private job.
