# Repair Estimates
Get a clear, detailed breakdown of repair costs—covering parts, paint, and labor—for every detected damage.
The **Repair Estimates** section provides a detailed cost breakdown for identified damages, including **parts, paint, and repair (labour).**
At every inspection where new damages are detected, the estimated repair cost for those damages will be displayed. This section is available **after the comparison view** or **above the inspection checklist**.
The **“Details” toggle** can be used to **view a detailed breakdown of the damage estimate**, including paint, part, and repair costs.
## **How a damage estimate is calculated**
The system calculates repair estimates using a predefined **pricing matrix** configured in the platform. This matrix includes:
* Vehicle part prices
* Standard labor rates
* Estimated repair hours (including paint and labor)
When damage is identified:
* The system fetches the **relevant part price**
* Calculates **labor cost** based on estimated repair time × standard hourly rate
* Combines these values to generate the **total repair estimate**
