Increasing body-shop revenues with ClearQuote
It’s in the interest of every auto dealership to maximize body & paint repairs simply because body & paint repairs are a highly profitable part of dealership’s after sales business.
The current challenge faced by many dealers is the ability to effectively manage the entire process from the time a car arrives at the workshop for service or maintenance to providing transparent repair estimates and getting customer approvals for cosmetic repairs and finally delivering the car within the promised delivery timeline.
Service centers that carry out periodic mechanical maintenance aren’t always equipped with trained body-shop advisors, as their time is required at the body-shop facility to supervise quality-intensive body & paint repair work. Thus, with a shortage of skilled body-shop personnel at a service reception, there are more chances of lost opportunities to increase body and paint repair jobs.
ClearQuote addresses this gap :
Using ClearQuote technology, service advisors are able to generate instant repair estimates using smartphone images and videos! Using proprietary computer vision technology, ClearQuote is able to identify and assess damages on the car and generate estimates for cosmetic repairs using any smartphone / tablet images.

Now, when a vehicle pulls up at the service reception, the service advisor, using the ClearQuote app, can simply point a phone camera at a car’s damaged body panel, capture an image and the app will assess the cost of repairs.
Alternately, a service advisor carrying out a vehicle condition assessment as part of the Vehicle Health Check (or eVHC — electronic Vehicle Health Check) also captures images of the car that can be used to automatically generate repair estimates without skilled bodyshop advisors.
One key feature of ClearQuote is SMART repair identification. Today, a challenge Service Advisor’s face is that they aren’t equipped with the technical know-how to identify and assess SMART repair, which is based on conditions such as the shape of a panel and the intensity, location and size of a damage.

ClearQuote’s Smart Repair Zone (SRZ) technology helps identify minor to medium damage that qualify for less expensive SMART (Small and Medium Area Repair Technology) repair jobs simply from images captured on a smart phone.
The estimation process is completed within minutes and these estimates can be sent directly to the customer’s email or WhatsApp. This way, dealerships can offer their customer’s a transparent estimate.
Not to mention, all estimation data is stored in a structured, digitized manner and can be easily accessed by the Service Advisor/Service Manager/Body-shop Manager.
At ClearQuote technologies, we’ve developed a high-tech digital tool to standardize the estimation process, therefore helping dealerships drive growth in body & paint revenues as well as adding valuable data-insights to help the dealership’s managers make smarter decisions.
