What I Offer
Remote Image Assessment Services
Accurate, thorough vehicle damage assessments — delivered remotely, without compromising on quality or detail.
Assessment Without the Bottleneck
Our industry can get busy at any time. Unroadworthy vehicles continue to arrive for assessment, whilst roadworthy vehicles are being assessed by images supplied by their owners. With insurers demanding estimates to be provided within a short period of time, this can often create a bottleneck where image estimates are not prioritised as those vehicles are still mobile. VDA-Assist provides remote assistance — using submitted images to produce detailed, quality estimates that meet the standards insurers and bodyshops require.
Remote Image Assessment
Full vehicle damage assessments carried out using customer or bodyshop-submitted images. Each assessment is thorough, documented, and produced to a professional standard — suitable for insurer use and bodyshop submission.
- Suitable for all vehicle types and damage categories
- Fully costed assessments with recommendations where required
- Detailed Audatex assessment using up to date researched methodology
- Turnaround typically within 24–48 hours
Estimate Review & Audit
Independent review of existing bodyshop estimates, ideal for cases where a second opinion is needed.
