BodyShopBids

edit

BodyShopBids is a free app for iPhone, Android and the Web that allows users to receive bids from local autobody shops.

With BodyShopBids, an individual files a brief vehicle damage report with photos to the app. Within 24 hours, at least three nearby body shops provide certified estimates for repair costs. The customer can then work through the app or with BodyShopBids’ customer support team to schedule an appointment.

BodyShopBids currently services the Chicago market and plans to expand to major U.S. cities soon.
