Appraisal Reviews

IDA Truck & Heavy Equipment Appraisal Quality Reviews

In addition to inspection and appraisal services as outlined in IDA Services and Service Standards, we perform truck and heavy equipment appraisal quality reviews designed to help clients realize cost savings.

Once an estimate, report(s) and photos are submitted by our field appraiser, our quality control experts review each estimate in detail to ensure that it is accurate, complete and meets or exceeds IDA's strict quality guidelines.

Quality & Accuracy

As part of our quality review process, IDA performs multiple quality and accuracy checks using state-of-the-art guides and methodologies that enable us to locate alternative, economy or hard to find LKQ parts, and provide options for repair versus replacement. We also assess Total Loss potential including values and options, and ensure that the estimate data is accurate.

This quality review process allows us to provide a high quality estimate and report that adheres not only to IDA's strict quality guidelines, but also to our client's specific company guidelines.

We review each estimate for:

  • Report Content and Accuracy
  • Technical Content and Application
  • Total Loss Potential Analysis
  • LKQ Replacement, Aftermarket or Exchange Parts
  • Overlap Times - Eliminate Overlap
  • Determine included, non-included operations
  • Verification of Labor Rates and Times
  • Refinishing Times
  • Betterment or Appearance Allowance
  • Prior Existing (old) Damage
