Common questions
What others asks before signing up?
How much does smash repair cost in Australia?
Smash repair costs in Australia typically range from $250 for minor cosmetic scratches up to $15,000+ for major multi-panel collision damage. The estimate depends on the number of panels damaged, severity of the damage, vehicle type and whether a metallic or pearl paint match is required. This calculator produces an estimate — your panel beater will confirm the final price after inspecting the vehicle.
How accurate is this smash repair quote calculator?
This calculator uses real Australian panel beating rates to produce a realistic estimate range. However, every vehicle and every dent is different. Your panel beater will inspect the vehicle and confirm the final price, which may differ depending on hidden damage, parts availability and paint matching requirements.
Does the estimate include GST?
Yes. All estimates produced by this calculator include 10% GST automatically, in line with Australian Tax Office requirements for registered businesses. The breakdown shows the subtotal, GST and total separately.
Can I add this calculator to my WordPress or Squarespace site?
Yes. Leadkit calculators embed on any website with a single line of code. WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix and Shopify are all supported. The calculator inherits your brand colours and logo automatically.
What do I get when someone fills out the calculator?
You receive an instant email notification with the car owner's name, phone, email, location, vehicle details, damage description and estimated repair value. You also get a lead score to help prioritise callbacks. The car owner receives a branded PDF estimate from your shop.
I don't have a website — can I still use this?
Yes. Every Leadkit calculator gets its own hosted landing page at a unique URL. Share it on Facebook, Google Business Profile, via SMS or in your email signature — no website needed.
Is insurance work priced differently?
The calculator includes an optional insurance administration fee to account for the additional documentation, photos and compliance requirements that insurance repairs involve. Panel beaters can set this fee from the dashboard, or disable it for shops that don't differentiate.
Is Leadkit really free?
Yes. Free lets you add up to 3 calculators to your website and receive 10 leads per month — no credit card. Every lead beyond the cap is still captured and held for you; upgrading to Pro ($29/mo) opens them all retroactively and removes the cap.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You get an embed code (one line of HTML). Paste it into your website builder — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or any custom site. That's it.
How accurate are the price estimates?
You configure the calculator formulas to match your actual pricing. Leadkit provides the framework; you set the numbers. Estimates can be as detailed or as rough as you like.
What happens with lead data?
All lead data is stored securely in your workspace. You own it. We never sell or share your leads with anyone.
Can I use Leadkit as an agency for multiple clients?
Yes — our Agency plan lets you create and manage separate workspaces for each of your clients, all from one dashboard.
What's the difference between the plans?
Free: up to 3 calculators, 10 leads/month (over-cap leads held + locked until upgrade). Pro: unlimited leads, unlimited calculators, white-label, branded email sending, analytics, email templates. Agency: everything in Pro plus multi-workspace management.

How it works
How this smash repair calculator is calculated
This calculator produces an estimate based on the number of panels, damage severity, vehicle type and paint requirements. It is not a binding quote — your panel beater will confirm the final price after inspecting the vehicle.
GST handling: All estimates include 10% GST as required by the Australian Tax Office for registered businesses.
1
Base panel rate
Each damaged panel starts with a base repair rate, set by the panel beater in their dashboard. The default is $450 per panel based on average Australian smash repair costs.
base_panel_rate × panel_count
2
Damage severity multiplier
The base rate is multiplied by a severity factor. Cosmetic scratches use a 1× multiplier, dents 1.8×, structural damage 3× and full panel replacement 4.5×.
base_per_panel × damage_severity
3
Vehicle and age adjustment
SUVs, 4WDs and utes attract a 15–25% surcharge due to larger panels. Newer vehicles (under 5 years) cost ~10% more due to parts and calibration, while older vehicles (15+) are typically 15% less.
4
Paint match and extras
Metallic or pearl paint matching adds a per-panel surcharge. Vintage or luxury vehicles attract a separate multiplier for specialist parts and paint. Insurance claims include an optional admin fee.
5
GST and minimum fee
A minimum job fee ensures small jobs cover overheads. GST at 10% is added to the subtotal, in line with ATO requirements for registered businesses.
Smash repair costs vary by damage severity, vehicle size and paint type. Sydney and Melbourne metro areas are typically 15–25% higher than regional areas.
