Quality control
How Monica reviews a report
Every Autoloss appraisal crosses Monica’s desk before it reaches a client. Her review checks that the report would hold up to an insurer’s or a court’s questions.
- 1
The vehicle is identified correctly
VIN, year, trim, mileage and equipment match the records and photos. - 2
The comparables are fair
Similar vehicles, similar mileage and equipment, relevant markets, with and without accident history. - 3
Every adjustment is explained
Condition, damage, repair quality and equipment adjustments are written down, not buried in a number. - 4
The figure follows from the evidence
Reports that don’t hold up are revised before delivery, and the demand letter matches the report.
