An image based assessment will be carried out by our in house engineers from the estimate provided by repairers. The Audatex detailed estimate provides an exact breakdown of the repair process, categorized by Mechanical/Electrical/Trim (MET) items, body repair functions, paint operations, and any additional procedures necessary for the repair.

The repair methodology is validated using Thatcham escribe to ensure that the selected method is appropriate and that the repairer possesses the necessary tools and expertise to execute it as estimated.

Physical Reports

One of our engineers will conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle. They will compile a detailed guide outlining all necessary repair work needed to restore the vehicle to its pre-accident state. This includes the replacement of parts, necessary repairs, specialist services, recovery costs, storage fees, and any questionable items. The report will also offer general insights into the vehicle’s condition and any relevant contributions. Additionally, it will include an assessment of the vehicle’s pre-accident value and, if applicable, an estimate of its salvage or scrap value.
