An auto repair estimate is a document provided by an auto body shop containing the projected costs for fixing a customer’s vehicle. The form breaks down the costs of labor and parts for each repair so the customer can decide whether or not to go forward with the improvements. The shop can start working on the vehicle after obtaining the customer’s authorization.

Auto repair estimate requirements vary by state. Checking with state vehicle repair laws is recommended to ensure estimates include all the necessary information.
Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices (UDAP) laws are adopted by many states to prohibit charging more than the original repair estimate. In some cases, change orders signed by the customer are required.
It’s important to review local statutes and adhere to any repair estimate thresholds for the sake of transparency and legal compliance.
