Services
Accident Damage Reports
Comprehensive evaluation of incident-related vehicle damage. We determine appropriate repair methods and produce Glassmatix estimates detailing parts, labour costs, and materials. Our reports ensure safety compliance while balancing repair viability and cost-effectiveness for insurers and claimants.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Specialist assessments for total loss-repaired vehicles. We verify repair quality, check HPI status, and provide valuation guidance. Our inspections help buyers avoid hidden issues through detailed analysis of structural integrity and accident history.
Consistency Reports
Technical evaluation of collision damage consistency between involved vehicles. Using digital imaging and engineering principles, we assess impact patterns and repair requirements. These reports resolve disputes by providing impartial analysis of damage causation and repair standards.
Diminution Assessments
Post-repair valuation services determining residual value impact. We compare identical vehicles to quantify market value reduction after repairs. Our assessments support claims for compensation where repaired vehicles suffer reduced resale value despite quality repairs.
Post-Repair Inspections
Verification of repair standards against original estimates. We inspect workmanship quality, parts authenticity, and safety compliance. These inspections ensure vehicles meet industry standards and insurance requirements for roadworthiness and future valuation.
