MOTOR ASSESSING

Not-At-Fault Assessment

To achieve maximum recovery on third-party claims, you need more than just an estimate—you need an authoritative technical audit that insurers can’t ignore. While at-fault parties try to ‘average down’ repair costs, our role is to validate the true cost of OEM-standard restoration. We provide the forensic evidence needed to eliminate short-payments and disputes, ensuring your clients are fully indemnified and your recovery yields are maximized without the usual back-and-forth.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can your reports prevent third-party insurers from discounting our OEM-specified repair methods?

At-fault insurers often attempt to “short-pay” by substituting OEM methods with generic alternatives. Our technical audits, along with manufacturer position statements serve as expert evidence that validates the necessity of manufacturer-certified repair procedures for safety and liability reasons. By framing these methods as essential for restoration to pre-accident condition, we help you secure the maximum possible authorization for the high-standard work you actually perform

How does OA’s focus on detailed repair itemization assist us in recovering market-reflective rates from third-party insurers?

Recovery is won or lost in the details. Rather than providing a “global” estimate that insurers can easily discount, our assessments provide a granular, line-by-line forensic breakdown of the entire repair procedure. By itemizing every manufacturer-mandated step—from specific substrate preparations to necessary sensor recalibrations—we shift the focus from the “hourly rate” to the technical necessity of the work. This transparency makes it significantly harder for third-party insurers to apply arbitrary cost caps, providing you with the defensible evidence needed to justify a maximum recovery that reflects the true value of your workshop’s expertise.

How fast is the turnaround for an authorization-ready report?

We understand that cycle time is everything for workshop cash flow. We prioritize speed to ensure vehicles don’t sit in your yard waiting for a decision. Most reports are delivered within 24–48 hours of inspection. Our goal is to provide a “bulletproof” document that the at-fault insurer can’t sit on, fast-tracking the authorization so you can start the job immediately.

How do you help us maximize the Pre-Accident Value (PAV) to avoid premature total loss determinations?

To keep a repair job in your workshop, the PAV needs to reflect the vehicle’s true market strength. Our assessors don’t just look at “book value”; we perform a deep-market analysis to justify a premium valuation. By maximizing the PAV, we widen the “repairable window,” allowing for a larger authorized repair budget and preventing the vehicle from being written off by an at-fault insurer looking for an easy exit.

Does including a Diminished Value (Stigma Loss) report increase the overall success of the recovery claim?

For accident management firms, adding a Diminished Value assessment is key to maximizing the total claim quantum. It addresses the financial hit the vehicle takes simply by having an accident history—a loss that often goes unclaimed. By quantifying this “equity loss,” we provide the data your recovery team needs to pursue a more substantial settlement, ensuring the total recovery reflects the full economic impact of the accident.
