FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The most important answers, in brief. More details in each service area.
What does a car appraisal cost?
In a no-fault accident, the other party's liability insurer covers the assessment costs in full, so there are no costs for you. For comprehensive-insurance damage, valuation reports or classic car appraisals, we quote a fixed price before accepting the job.
How quickly will I get my report?
As a rule, the finished report is ready 48 hours after the inspection. We handle urgent cases as a priority and can often deliver within 24 hours here. This only applies if no residual value assessment is needed (so not for total losses). Just get in touch.
Am I free to choose the appraiser?
Yes. After a no-fault accident, you have the right to an independent expert of your choice. The other party's insurer cannot dictate which appraiser you use.
Where do you inspect the vehicle?
We're mobile, we come to your vehicle in Karlsruhe and the whole region. Alternatively, we inspect it at our office in Karlsruhe-Durlach.
Are your reports recognized by insurers?
Yes. Our reports are prepared using the industry-standard calculation and market data systems Audatex, SilverDAT and Schwacke, and are recognized by all major insurers and courts.
