Repair Estimate (Quote)
A repair estimate is a written calculation of expected repair costs.
What is Repair Estimate (Quote)?
It lists parts and labour. It can change after dismantling. Insurers often require one. An estimate may be a non-binding cost estimate or a fixed quote depending on local law and how it is written. Hidden damage behind panels often appears only after dismantling. For insurance claims, assessors may inspect the car before the work is approved.
