About Us

Meet Ray West, the heart and driving force behind Classy Estimating. As our founder and CEO, Ray brings over two decades of expertise in Paintless Dent Repair (PDR), a craft he has honed since 1999. His journey in PDR began out of a deep-seated passion for helping others realize their full potential, a principle that continues to guide our mission today.
 
Ray’s life is as vibrant and dynamic as his career. He is not only a dedicated professional but also a loving husband and a father to four energetic children, all based in Dallas, Texas. His extensive experience and personal dedication to the art of PDR were the seeds from which Classy Estimating grew.
 
The inception of Classy Estimating was driven by Ray’s desire to ensure that body shops and technicians are fairly compensated for the intricate work they perform on every hail-damaged vehicle. Seven years ago, he embarked on a mission to bridge the gap between PDR technicians and insurance companies. He got into the software side of the business. Ray discovered that with the right approach, insurance companies would honor every detailed claim, provided the estimates were meticulously crafted to meet their specific formats.
 
At Classy Estimating, we are committed to innovation and staying ahead of industry trends and software advancements. Our goal is to ensure that every shop and technician receives the compensation they rightfully deserve. We are eager to demonstrate our commitment to this industry and to you.
 
To show just how passionate we are about what we do, we are excited to offer you your first estimate free of charge. Join us on this journey, and let Classy Estimating advocate for you.
