Auto Damage Assessment

Using automated tools or software and a visual inspection, VMA Auto Collision calculates the cost or value of automobile repairs, sales, or insurance coverage.

Our technicians use various tools and materials to ensure that repairs meet safety standards while matching the vehicle's original appearance.

On-premises at our Queens, NY, location, we analyze vehicle conditions, market trends, and repair costs to provide quick estimates, helping consumers and businesses make informed decisions more efficiently.

Following an auto accident, a body shop or policyholder calls in an auto insurance claim, a formal request to their insurance company for compensation or coverage for damages or losses resulting from a car accident, theft, or other incident covered by the policy.

To initiate a claim, the insured usually needs to provide details about the incident, including photos, police reports, and any other relevant documentation. The insurance company will review the claim, assess the damages, and determine the payout based on the policy terms.

A good auto damage assessment consists of a thorough visual inspection of the vehicle, documenting all visible damages, and identifying minor and structural issues. It should include reviewing the vehicle's history, such as previous repairs and any potential hidden damages, and taking detailed photographs for record-keeping.

Accurate measurements of misalignments, use of diagnostic tools to assess underlying mechanical issues, and evaluation of parts needing replacement or repair are also essential. Finally, providing a comprehensive report that estimates repair costs and timelines is crucial for effective communication with insurance companies and customers.
