A repairer’s quote is an offer to do work, whereas an OA Motor Assessing Vehicle Repair Estimation is an independent, forensic audit of what the repair should cost. We don’t just look at the surface damage; we use professional assessing software (like Audatex and Glass’s Guide) to itemize every nut, bolt, and labour hour required. This ensures the estimate is based on technical necessity and objective data, preventing “quote padding” and ensuring you only pay for what is required to return the car to factory standards.

At OA Motor Assessing, we leverage industry-leading data specifically calibrated for the Australian automotive market. Our estimations are built using real-time parts pricing and manufacturer-specific labour times. This “Optimised” approach means we account for complex modern requirements—such as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) calibrations and specific welding or bonding procedures—that are often overlooked in standard manual quotes.

We offer highly efficient Desktop Repair Estimations across all of Australia. By using high-resolution images and telematics data provided by the client or repairer, our specialist assessors can produce a comprehensive report without the delay of a physical site visit. This is ideal for fleet managers and insurers looking to reduce vehicle downtime. If a vehicle has sustained complex structural damage, we can also deploy an assessor for a physical inspection to ensure a forensic level of detail.

For Australian fleet managers, “repairer leakage” (over-charging) is a major hidden cost. OA Motor Assessing acts as a technical gatekeeper. Our independent estimations provide a “Target Price” for repairs. By having a professionally prepared OA estimate before authorising work, you gain the leverage to negotiate with repairers, ensure competitive parts procurement, and significantly reduce the total spend on your motor claims.

Yes. Safety and liability are paramount in the Australian market. Every estimation produced by OA Motor Assessing is aligned with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) repair standards. We don’t cut corners by estimating for “generic” repair methods if the manufacturer specifies a particular procedure. This ensures that the vehicle’s structural integrity is maintained and that any existing manufacturer warranties remain valid after the repairs are completed.
