Estimate GuardCatches missed operations before the estimate leaves.
Every line checked against your rules and the insurer profile. Blend, setup, feather, prime and block, scans, calibrations. Flagged while the estimate is still yours to fix.
The problem it fixes
Your best estimator writes 40 estimates a week. On a good day they catch everything. On a Thursday afternoon with three customers at the counter, they miss the blend on the adjacent panel, forget the pre and post scan, and leave the one-time-use clips off. Nobody notices until the car is delivered and the money is gone. Multiply that by every estimate and it is the biggest leak in the shop.
Checks every line before it goes out
Estimate Guard reads the estimate as it is written in CCC ONE, Mitchell, or Audatex and compares it to what the repair actually requires. Missed operations show up as a list with the labor and parts value attached. Add them in your estimating system, or dismiss with a reason that gets logged.
Your rules, not generic ones
Set the shop's own standards: when you blend, what you charge for setup, which panels always get corrosion protection. Estimate Guard enforces them on every RO, for every estimator, so the new hire writes like the owner.
Insurer profiles built in
Every DRP and every insurer pays differently. Estimate Guard knows which operations each one allows, which need photos, and which need a note. It flags what you are leaving off and what will bounce back.
Refinish, ADAS, and the stuff that gets forgotten
Refinish adjacent panels. Pre and post repair scans. Calibration after a windshield or bumper. Tint, flex additive, color sand and buff. The operations shops leave off most often are the ones it watches hardest.
Know what it caught
A running total of dollars captured per RO, per estimator, per insurer. You see who is writing complete estimates and where the pattern of misses is coming from.
Sits on top. Never replaces.
Estimate Guard reads the estimate from CCC ONE as it is written and flags issues in a side panel. You make the fix in CCC ONE. Body Shop GM never writes to it. Works the same with Mitchell and Audatex.The full integration explainer →

Estimate Guard questions
What is auto body estimate audit software?
Software that reviews a collision estimate before it is sent and flags billable operations that were left off. Estimate Guard does this automatically for every estimate written in CCC ONE, Mitchell, or Audatex.
Which missed operations does Estimate Guard catch?
Blend on adjacent panels, setup and measure, feather prime and block, hazardous waste, one-time-use parts, refinish adjacent panels, ADAS calibration, pre and post scans, corrosion protection, and more. The list is configurable per shop and per insurer.
Does it write to CCC ONE?
No. It reads the estimate and shows you what is missing. You make the change in your estimating system so it stays the system of record.
Will it slow my estimators down?
The review takes seconds and runs while they write. Most shops find estimators get faster because they stop second-guessing and re-checking.
How much does it typically catch?
It depends on the shop and the mix of insurers. Send us three estimates through the Money Left on the Table Audit and we will show you what yours are missing.
