Founded in Australia in 2022, BSR Estimating quickly became the country's leading provider of outsourced estimating services — writing over a million dollars (AUD) in estimates every day. Built on a foundation of accuracy, speed, and deep industry expertise, BSR's model has transformed how repairers manage their estimating workload, helping shops increase efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and focus more on production and profitability.
Now, that model is coming to the United States.
A Model That Works
The BSR Virtual Estimating Program connects repairers with experienced estimators who are fully trained in estimating platforms and repair methods. Every estimate goes through strict quality checks to ensure consistency, compliance, and maximum returns for the repairer.
BSR's success in Australia has been driven by its ability to combine technology with hands-on collision repair experience and training — offering a scalable, reliable solution for both independent repairers and multi-site operators.
Tailored for the US Market
Recognising the rapid growth of the automotive repair sector in the US, BSR has adapted its proven model for local conditions. The US program addresses one of the industry's biggest challenges head-on: the shortage of experienced estimators and the inconsistency in estimating quality that costs shops money every day.
Colorado-Based US Team
The US operation is led by Sean Gillette, a dedicated Colorado-based manager, supported by a dedicated team leader and trainer — and backed by BSR's established administrative infrastructure and a team of estimators with US market experience. Local knowledge, global systems.
"After seeing the demand and success in Australia, expanding to the US was the next logical step. Our goal is to support repairers by improving estimating accuracy, speeding up turnaround times, and ultimately helping workshops achieve better profitability."
No Recruitment Headaches. No Fixed Overheads.
For US repairers looking to enhance their estimating capabilities, the BSR model removes every traditional hiring headache in one move. Imagine no more:
Recruitment costs and delays
Visa and work authorisation issues
Accommodation or relocation expenses
Lengthy internal training programs
Termination risk and HR complexity
Additional insurance obligations
BSR's Virtual Estimating Program offers a seamless solution that combines local US understanding with international best practices — without increasing your fixed cost base.
A Strategic Global Rollout
The USA expansion is part of BSR's broader international growth strategy, with the goal of becoming the go-to estimating partner for repairers and estimators worldwide. Australia proved the model. The US is the next chapter.
For repairers who are tired of estimating bottlenecks, inconsistent quality, and the constant struggle to find experienced staff — BSR offers a proven alternative that's already working at scale on the other side of the world.
