Best Truck Repairs in Brownsville, TX

How Do Insurance Companies Estimate semi truck Damage? Once your semi truck insurance adjuster looks at your vehicle, that adjuster will take pictures of your semi truck, and all of the areas on the semi truck that have damage. After the adjuster is done with the picture taking, he or she will then write an estimate based on the parts and the labor to repair your semi truck. Your adjuster will work to receive a best price match for your semi truck. That adjuster will use computers and vehicle estimate software to achieve this figure. Body shops and repair shops utilize the same vehicle estimate software, so the cost of parts should be the same across the board. Labor rates will vary based upon where you decide to get your semi truck fixed. Therefore, the estimate you receive from your adjuster may vary from the various estimates you got from various body shops and mechanics. Should you have shop that is not able to fix your semi truck based on the estimate presented, the shop may decide to file a supplemental request with the semi truck insurance company. Your insurance company will then look at the amount of the estimate and then work on negotiations for a new price with the shop. Regardless the cost of your repairs, you will be required to pay the deductible to the body shop once repairs to your semi truck are done. Was the accident caused by someone else? Then you may be able to even collect funds later from the at-fault semi truck insurance company.
