Why Get a Post-Repair Inspection After A Car Accident.

What is a Post-Repair Inspection?

If you’ve had a significant repair to your vehicle, it’s absolutely essential that you get a post-repair inspection. A post-repair inspection is an evaluation performed by a qualified third-party, in which they examine the quality of the repairs that have been done.

Most people get post-repair inspections to get an appraisal of the Diminished Value that they’re owed, and that’s a great reason to do it. But even if Diminished Value isn’t a factor, you should get a post-repair inspection to make sure you’ve gotten a quality repair, and that your car is safe to drive.

In our industry, with the pressures applied by insurance companies and their referral networks, many shops feel they have to turn out a high volume of quick, cheap repairs to make a profit.

In the post-repair inspections we’ve performed, we find that a lot of corners get cut, and a lot of unsafe vehicles are put back on the road. Driving your family and friends in an unsafe car is not a situation you want to find yourself in, especially if you have another accident.
