How much does it cost to get a smash repair quote?
Getting a smash repair estimate through PanelAI is 100% free. Traditionally, you would have to take time off work, drive to a local panel beater, and wait for them to assess your car just to get a price. With our app, you simply upload photos of the damage, and our AI generates an instant, zero-cost quote.
How much will my smash repair actually cost?
The cost of auto body repairs depends heavily on the extent of the damage. For example, fixing a minor car park scratch or bumper dent might cost between $250 and $600, while a larger collision repair will cost more. PanelAI takes the guesswork out of pricing. By analyzing your photos against thousands of past repairs, our AI gives you an immediate, highly accurate cost range so you know exactly what is fair before you speak to a Smash repairer.
Do local smash repairers and panel beaters actually accept AI quotes?
Yes! PanelAI is partnered with a network of verified, top-rated local smash repairers who trust our technology. Our AI provides a highly accurate initial estimate, which is immediately sent to a local repairer. Because the AI does the heavy lifting of assessing the damage upfront, panel beaters love it—it saves them time and allows them to formally accept your job and book your car in much faster.
Do car insurance companies accept AI repair quotes?
Yes, the auto insurance industry is rapidly moving toward AI-driven claims. When you use PanelAI, you receive a detailed damage assessment that you can easily forward to your insurance provider. Furthermore, getting an instant AI quote helps you decide whether or not you should even involve your insurer. For example, if your insurance excess is $800, but PanelAI quotes your repair at $450, you instantly know it’s cheaper to pay out-of-pocket and protect your no-claim bonus.
Will the final repair price be exactly the same as the AI quote?
Our AI is trained on massive amounts of Australian auto-repair data, making our estimates incredibly accurate for visible damage. The AI gives you a realistic price range to ensure you don’t get ripped off. Once a verified smash repairer in our network reviews the AI data and accepts the job, they will confirm the exact final price before any work begins, ensuring complete transparency with zero hidden fees.
