Virtual Damage Estimates
Send us photos or a short walkaround video. We send back a complete, line-item estimate — usually before your customer leaves the bay.
K&M Auto Center delivers fast, defensible damage estimates and vehicle valuations for body shops, dealerships, and fleets. Send us photos for a virtual report in hours — or book a certified estimator to come on-site when only hands-on assessment will do.
Whether it's a fender bender that needs an estimate by lunch or a salvage-title vehicle that needs a full physical inspection, we cover every layer of damage assessment and valuation work — with the documentation insurers, dealers, and courts actually accept.
Send us photos or a short walkaround video. We send back a complete, line-item estimate — usually before your customer leaves the bay.
When the damage isn't obvious from a photo, we come to you. Certified estimators, full disassembly notes, and signed-off reports — on your lift.
Defensible market valuations for total-loss claims. Comparable-driven, condition-adjusted, fully documented — and ready to go in the file.
Post-repair value loss reports for owners and attorneys. Documented, comparable-backed, and consistently accepted by carriers in negotiation.
For dealers stocking auctions and consumers buying remote: a complete mechanical, structural, and cosmetic inspection — virtual or on-site.
High-volume estimating and valuation programs for dealer groups, body shop networks, and fleets. Custom intake forms, custom reporting, dedicated estimators.
K&M Auto Center was founded in 2008 by certified auto damage estimators — not insurance bureaucrats. Every estimator on our team has spent years on body shop floors before a single keystroke. We know what a hidden frame pull looks like, why a clean photo can lie, and how a bad estimate costs everyone money down the line.
Our model is simple: get accurate, defensible damage and valuation reports back to body shops, dealerships, and fleet operators as fast as the photos load — or come on-site when only hands-on assessment will do. Every report is signed by a certified estimator. No outsourcing. No corner-cutting.
Our workflow is built for body shop time, not bureaucrat time. Most virtual estimates hit your inbox the same day. On-site visits are scheduled within hours. Every report is signed by a certified estimator and stands up to carrier review.
Submit damage photos or a short walkaround video through our app, web portal, or email. We’ll confirm receipt and start the assessment immediately.
For severe damage, total losses, or stubborn cases, request a certified estimator on your lift. Same-day scheduling on most jobs, full coverage of the metro area.
Every report is reviewed and signed by an I-CAR Platinum estimator. Line-item, OEM-spec, condition-adjusted, and fully defensible against carrier pushback.
Final reports delivered as PDF and structured data. All photos and notes archived. If a carrier pushes back, we stand behind every line — at no extra charge.
We send K&M photos at 9 AM and have a complete, line-item estimate in our inbox before lunch. When the damage was deeper than the photos showed, they were on our lift by three. Three years in, every total loss and complex collision job we’ve had has gone through them — without a single carrier write-down.
Most virtual estimates land in your inbox within four hours. Need a certified estimator on-site? We’re typically scheduled the same day or next morning. Set up a shop account for volume work, or send a one-off — your call.
