Salvage vehicle repair cost estimator
Build an indicative repair range before you bid on a damaged vehicle or repairable write-off.
Choose a make and model for a more specific estimate. Unknown vehicles use the general vehicle-type range.
$950–$2,950
Includes a 12–20% allowance for hidden damage and variations in labour or parts.
How to use this repair estimate
Select the vehicle type, parts strategy and visible damage areas. The result is a planning range, not a quote: hidden damage, local labour rates, parts availability, compliance work and workshop findings can materially change the final cost.
Repairable write-off costs to check
Include the winning bid, buyer fees, transport, storage, inspections, registration requirements and a contingency alongside the repair range. A low auction price does not necessarily mean a low total project cost.
