Post Repair Inspections
After repairs you may want to have an independent appraiser inspect
your vehicle to ensure that all repairs were performed properly
and to industry standards and your vehicle has been restored,
as close as possible, to Pre-Loss Condition; appearance, safety
and function. Any deficiency in the claim or repair process may INCREASE your
Loss in Market Value. We suggest you hire an independent appraiser to inspect and perform
a full claim audit
and repair critique documenting any evidence of repair. Very often evidence of repair is not obvious to an untrained
eye - if evidence of repair is obvious to you it is very likely
that a qualified appraiser will find additional issues.

What you should expect from a Post-Repair Inspection:
- An audit and review of the appraisal relied on for the cost of
repairs.
- Documention of any repair operation omissions necessary for a
complete and adequate repair.
- A quality assessment of the repaired vehicle for deficiencies
in repair, safety, quality, function and appearance.
- An itemized list of any claim and/or repair related deficiencies.
After the vehicle has been repaired, it is important to evaluate any Loss of Market
Value and submit that amount as part of the total loss.
