Collision repair platform

The operating system for independent body shops.

One login instead of four: the job board, the invoice, the customer file, and the insurer follow-up — all in the same place. Plus fast, photo-based ballpark estimates and parts price lookup.

INITIAL INSPECTION
For body shops
Run a tighter shop.

Everything from first contact to final payment, in one place. Built for independent shops tired of juggling three tools to close one job.

  • Upload up to 6 photos from your phone
  • Rough parts + labor ballpark estimate
  • Insurance claim tips included

For vehicle owners

Get a ballpark estimate on your repair
before you talk to anyone.

Three steps. Under 60 seconds. No account required. A rough starting point, not a final quote.

01
Describe the damage
Enter your vehicle, ZIP code, and tap where the damage is. Add context about how the accident happened.
02
Upload damage photos
Take up to 6 photos from your phone. More angles give the AI more to work with — and a tighter ballpark estimate.
03
Get your ballpark estimate
Receive a rough breakdown of parts, labor, and paint to use as a starting point — plus what to watch out for when talking to your insurer. Not a substitute for an in-person inspection.
A
Meet Alex
Your estimate comes with a built-in advisor. Ask Alex anything about your claim — how to talk to your insurer, what your rights are, what a line item actually means — anytime, right in the chat.
Shop platform

Less time on the phone.
More cars through the bay.

Built for small to mid-size collision shops. Replaces the invoicing app, the texting tool, and the sticky-note follow-up system — at a fraction of the cost.

Leads → Job, Instantly
Nearby consumer estimates route to your shop free. Accept one and Instamate auto-builds the job and sends a signable repair authorization — customer signs from their phone, no paperwork.
Job Board
Every car tracked across 9 pipeline stages — from initial inspection to vehicle delivered. Supplement rounds, tow status, and deductibles all visible at a glance.
Customer Database
Every customer in one place — contact info, full job history, and every vehicle they've ever brought in, linked under one profile. Search by name or phone and follow up in one click.
Two-Way Messaging
Send status updates by SMS or email in one click — and when the customer replies, it lands right in the job panel. No missed calls, no lost texts.
Insurance Follow-Up
Connect your Gmail or Outlook inbox. Send claim correspondence straight from Instamate, and every insurer reply threads back to the right job automatically — no more digging through email.
Supplement Tracking
Discover hidden damage, send authorization to the customer, track insurer approval — every round documented and timestamped.
Invoicing + Payment
Turn any estimate into an editable invoice. Send a Stripe payment link — customer pays from their phone. No chasing checks.
Revenue Dashboard
Open jobs, cash collected, and what's still owed — updated in real time. No spreadsheet, no guesswork at month end.
Bonus: AI Ballpark + Parts Lookup
A quick photo-based ballpark estimate and instant parts price lookups — handy for a fast gut check without googling every part. A convenience, not a substitute for a hands-on inspection.

Estimates that used to take an hour on paper now take under 60 seconds from a phone. Invoices build themselves and go out with a payment link instead of waiting on a check in the mail. Status updates go out with one click instead of one phone call at a time.
