ESTIMATE AUDIT · ALL LINES

Before you accept it, we check it.

Auto, specialty, commercial truck, heavy equipment, marine and property, audited line by line by a team with 25+ years writing the carrier's estimates. For body shops, fleets, attorneys and public adjusters. Every figure documented.

CCC ONEMitchellAudatexAdjustRiteMitchell TruckMaxXactimateSymbility

We wrote their estimates for 25 years. Now we read them for you.

Operations marked not-included. OEM procedures left off. Labor under-timed, blend dropped, aftermarket where the OEM procedure says OEM, a total-loss value built on thin comparables. We find the gap between what the repair costs and what the estimate pays, and put the procedure, P-page, invoice or photo behind every figure.

Body shops & repairers

Collision, MSO, heavy-truck, RV, marine and equipment repairers

The estimate came back with operations marked not-included, OEM procedures skipped and a refinish rate you can't work to. The supplement sits while the car takes up a stall.

Your estimate and supplements, documented line by line so the operations you performed get paid.

Fleets

Self-insured fleets and fleets claiming against an at-fault carrier

Units sit while the number gets argued. The heavy-duty labor rate is cut, downtime per day is never claimed and diminished value stays off the table.

Every unit's repair, downtime and diminished value documented and packaged before you accept the carrier's number.

Attorneys & adjusters

Plaintiff attorneys, public adjusters and owners in dispute

The carrier's number arrives with thin comparables, unexplained adjustments and no OEM basis, and a response date attached to it.

An independent, line-by-line read of the carrier's number, with a supported amount and the basis behind every figure.

Six lines. Every figure checked.

FILE 01 — AUTO & LIGHT TRUCK

Auto & light truck

OEM procedures · P-pages · Scans · ADAS calibration · Blend & refinish

We audit the carrier's estimate for not-included operations, under-timed labor, and blend and refinish left off. Every line is set against the OEM procedure or position statement, with pre and post scans, ADAS calibration, aftermarket and LKQ against OEM, and betterment taken without basis flagged and documented.

CCC ONE→Mitchell→Audatex
FILE 02 — SPECIALTY

Specialty

RVs · Motorcycles · Classics · Exotics · EVs · Upfitted vehicles · Trailers

Specialty estimates run short because most desks can't read them. We audit RV fiberglass and delamination, agreed-value classics against the stated value, carbon and aluminum exotics, and EV battery and ADAS scope, written up by people who have repaired them, not priced from a database.

FILE 03 — COMMERCIAL TRUCK

Commercial truck

Tractors · Trailers · Box & delivery trucks · Fleets · Downtime

Downtime is the real cost on a commercial claim. We audit frame, cab, sleeper, fifth wheel and trailer damage, set the heavy-duty labor rate against what the work really costs, and document downtime per day and loss of use, so every day a unit sits is on the report, not absorbed.

AdjustRite→Mitchell TruckMax
FILE 04 — HEAVY EQUIPMENT & AG

Heavy equipment & ag

Construction · Farm · Forestry · Cranes · Lifts

No two machines price the same. We audit hydraulic, structural and undercarriage scope, test the repair-versus-replace call against dealer repair data, and rebut a low actual cash value with comparable units, hours and attachments, every figure sourced and exhibited.

FILE 05 — MARINE

Marine

Boats · Yachts · PWC · Docks · Marinas

Wear-versus-loss is where marine claims get cut. We audit hull, gelcoat and structural repair, engines and outdrives, rigging and electronics, and docks and lifts, then document the cause of loss, so the carrier's wear call is tested against the evidence, not assumed.

FILE 06 — PROPERTY

Property

Residential · Commercial · Roof · Water · Fire · Contents

Scope is where property claims get cut. We audit measurements, line items, waste, overhead and profit (O&P), depreciation and code upgrades against the photos, and prepare contractor scope support in Xactimate or Symbility that answers the carrier's estimate item by item.
