Find the Service That Matches Your Situation
Every collision claim is different. Some vehicle owners need help
deciding whether to file a claim. Others already have an estimate,
a total-loss valuation, or questions about diminished value. Start
with the service that best matches where you are today.
Decision Help
Quick Decision Estimate
Best for: Deciding whether to file a claim or pay for repairs yourself
Damage that looks minor can sometimes cost more to repair than
expected. The Quick Decision Estimate uses your vehicle information
and photographs to prepare an independent repair-cost assessment.
The purpose is not to make the decision for you. It is to provide
clearer information so you can compare the likely repair cost with
your deductible, finances, and claim options.
- Photo-based repair-cost assessment
- Prepared by experienced collision estimators
- Uses applicable estimating and repair information
- Helps you compare claim and self-pay options
Most Common Review
Collision Estimate Review
Best for: Understanding an estimate you have already received
A collision estimate is a technical repair document. Our Collision
Estimate Review examines the available estimate, photographs, damage
information, repair operations, parts, labor, and applicable
manufacturer procedures.
If the estimate appears thorough, we will tell you. If an item may
deserve additional attention, we will explain what we observed,
why it may matter, and which questions may be worth asking.
- Line-by-line review of the available estimate
- Damage and repair-scope comparison
- Parts, labor, refinishing, and procedure review
- Plain-English findings and questions worth asking
Total Loss
Total Loss Valuation Review
Best for: Understanding how a total-loss settlement was calculated
A total-loss valuation may include comparable vehicles, mileage,
equipment, condition adjustments, taxes, fees, and other factors.
Understanding those details can help you determine whether the
valuation report accurately reflects your vehicle.
EstiVerify helps explain the valuation documentation and identify
information that may deserve verification or further discussion.
A review does not guarantee that a settlement amount will change.
- Explanation of the valuation report
- Review of vehicle details and listed equipment
- Review of comparable vehicles and adjustments
- Questions to consider before accepting the valuation
Post-Repair Value
Diminished Value Review
Best for: Understanding possible market-value loss after repairs
A vehicle may be repaired correctly and still be viewed differently
in the marketplace because of its accident history. Whether a
diminished value claim is appropriate depends on several factors,
including fault, state rules, vehicle history, damage severity,
repair quality, mileage, age, and market conditions.
EstiVerify helps you understand the issue, evaluate whether your
circumstances may support further review, and organize the
documentation commonly used in a diminished value claim.
- Explanation of diminished value principles
- Review of vehicle and accident-related factors
- Documentation guidance
- Evidence-based claim preparation information
