I was one of the developers at Itsavirus building Deukweg’s Drupal website in 2014. Car owners submitted damage reports, local repair shops made offers, and owners compared them on price, distance and reviews.
The useful part of Deukweg was making a repair comparable before asking someone to visit a garage. A driver described the damage and supplied photographs; repair shops could then bid on the same information. I contributed to the website as a freelance Drupal developer in the agency team.

Get enough information to price the repair
The report began with a licence plate lookup, filling in the make, model and year from RDW data. If the lookup failed, the person could enter those details themselves.
The photo step asked for four specific views of the car and damage. This was important for the repair shops to calculate their price.
Bidding auction
Reports had a bidding window followed by a choosing window. Each side saw the actions available at that stage: shops submitted offers, and owners could select one or let the report expire. Shops could not see competitors’ bids, and customer contact details were released to the chosen shop after acceptance.
The archived site listed 234 reviews by March 2016. Reviews were tied to completed repairs. The service is now offline; the images show the website from that period.
