Three minutes from estimate
to supplement-ready findings.

Upload the carrier's estimate. GuideCoat reads it line by line, compares it against the work the vehicle actually needs, and returns a documented report you can drop into your supplement.

STEP 1 · UPLOAD
Missed operations
The work the carrier left off.
Pre-paint setup. R&I labor. Underhood inspection. GuideCoat surfaces the operations carriers commonly drop from the initial estimate.
  • Operations indexed by vehicle and damage type
  • Flagged with the OEM procedure they map to
  • Ready to drop into a supplement line item
STEP 2 · COMPARE
Underpaid items
The lines the carrier shorted.
Labor times below current guide rates. Paint allowances short of the vehicle's procedure. Identified line by line with the actual gap.
  • Compared against current platform P-page logic
  • Gap quantified in time and dollars
  • Source citation attached to every flagged line
STEP 3 · CITE
Five-source citations
Authority the platform respects.
OEM position statements. P-page references. I-CAR positions. DEG inquiry outcomes. State regulations. Five authority sources bound to every flagged line.
  • Different objection types get different authorities
  • Citations pre-organized by operation
  • Supplement-ready output in three minutes

Three decades in collision
before writing a line of code.

Travis Johnston came up in his dad's shop, ran his own through 2022, and built GuideCoat because the tools he needed never existed. The estimate-vs-carrier dispute is now documented. The citations are organized. The work that used to take half an hour takes three minutes.

"I spent two decades writing supplements. I built GuideCoat because the shop that has the citations organized wins the operations the shop that doesn't leaves on the table. Every supplement is a documentation problem now. We built the tool that closes the gap." — Travis Johnston, Founder, BainbridgeAI

Where does it hurt?

Every collision shop is fighting the same battles: supplements left on the table, DRPs that quietly bleed margin, software that doesn't fit the work.

Operator to operator. No sales pitch, just a real conversation about what's broken in your shop.
