Every estimate is stored permanently, so it can be found and reopened at any point — most importantly for the supplement workflow: a fault-code-only estimate can sit for days waiting on a technician's physical diagnosis while other vehicles are worked on. Find it, open it, confirm the diagnosed codes, and save.

Actual Cash Value lookups (used for the total-loss threshold) fall back through three tiers: paid vendor APIs below, then a generated depreciation table, then a static estimate. Vendor API keys are never displayed once saved — only a short suffix, so you can confirm one is set.
Replacement-part price lookups (the eBay-sourced quote on REPLACE lines) are gated per calling surface the same way ACV Tier-1 is — a shop can allow a paid parts vendor for Workshop estimates while keeping the Public kiosk on the free vendor. Only eBay has a live backend today, so both toggles currently have no effect — they're ready for when a paid vendor (e.g. a dedicated used/LKQ or OEM-dealer-network API) is added.
VIN decoding runs through a local NHTSA vPIC-backed microservice. It decodes locally first and falls back to a configurable third-party vendor when needed. The connection settings below are this app's own — the vendor's own API key/URL live on the decoder service itself.
Shop/insurer business rules for estimate money math — applies to every estimate on every surface (Public kiosk and Workshop alike), not gated per surface like ACV/Parts.
