01 / THE VEDA APPROACH
Good estimates start
with sound judgement.
The estimate should reflect the work the repair needs. Tom brings technical judgement, clear repair rationale and supporting documentation to the case for the labour time and operations involved.
Documentation that explains the work
Clear repair rationale and supporting details to explain the labour time, repair operations and additional findings included in the estimate.
Talk to the person doing it
Direct contact for questions, clarification and changes. Keep the conversation close to the job.
Support when you need it
Cover an uneven workload, holidays or staff shortages. No ongoing contract required; agree the scope for each job.
02 / SERVICES & STARTING PRICES
Know the scope.
Know the starting price.
Straightforward estimating support. Any genuinely additional work is discussed and priced before proceeding.

When the findings change the scope.
Additional repair items backed by new findings, photographs and documentation. Supply the original estimate reference and explain what has changed.
Request a supplementaryBy quote
Agree the extra work first.
Extra research, major reassessment or substantial rework beyond the standard scope. We will clarify what is needed and agree the fee before proceeding.
Discuss a complex caseNo VAT is charged. Estimates support the repair process. Insurer decisions, repair authorisation and payment remain outside VEDA’s control.
03 / HOW IT WORKS
From your workshop.
To a documented estimate.
Send the detail.
Vehicle information, clear photographs and repair notes. For supplementary work, include the original estimate and the new findings.
We check and prepare.
VEDA checks the information, clarifies gaps and prepares the estimate against the agreed scope. Timing is agreed once the information is complete.
Receive the rationale.
Receive the estimate with the repair rationale and supporting documentation. Queries and changes are discussed directly.
04 / BUILT AROUND YOUR WORKLOAD
Another pair of eyes.
When your desk
is already full.
You may need occasional cover or a more regular hand with estimating. VEDA is for independent bodyshops where:
- The owner or estimator is stretched.
- Insurance work comes in peaks and troughs.
- Holidays or staff shortages leave a gap.
- Another full-time hire is hard to justify.

07 / PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
A few things
worth clearing up.
Which photographs should I send?
All four corners, a wide shot showing the damage in context, close-ups of each affected area, the VIN and mileage. Use clear, well-lit images. Include further findings and supporting documents for supplementary work.
What is included in a standard estimate?
Remote preparation from suitable vehicle details, photographs and repair information, with repair rationale and supporting documentation. Scope is agreed for the job. Extra research, major reassessment or substantial rework is quoted separately before proceeding.
How do supplementary estimates work?
Send the original estimate reference, additional findings, photographs and documentation. VEDA prepares the additional repair items supported by that information. Supplementary estimates start at £25; substantial reassessment is discussed and quoted separately.
What if information or photographs are incomplete?
We will explain what is missing and ask for clearer photographs or further information. If the work needs extra research or substantial rework, we will agree the scope and fee first.
How is delivery timing agreed?
We aim to turn requests round promptly. Delivery timing is agreed once the necessary information is complete and depends on complexity and workload. We do not offer a guaranteed turnaround time.
Does VEDA guarantee insurer approval or payment?
No. VEDA documents technically justified repair requirements. Decisions about acceptance of operations, repair authorisation and payment are made by the insurer or relevant parties and remain outside VEDA’s control.
Is this a physical inspection or engineering certification?
No. This is remote estimating based on the information you supply. Physical inspection and engineering certification are not included.
