Appraiser Guys



In the United States as well as many other countries across the world, there is a tendency of automobile appraisal being increasingly appreciated by car owners, thereby creating a business opportunity for the many appraiser guys out there. The fundamental role of the appraiser guys is appraising automobile and all the other car damages with the agenda of determining the actual cost of car repair for the purpose of insurance claim settlement. The guys are also charged with the responsibility of preparing and making available the insurance documents to show the cost of repairs or in a more general terms, cost recommendations and estimates. While in a research spree in Oklahoma, I had a chance of meeting up with some of the town’s recognized and highly performing appraiser guys and asking them the level of satisfaction they derive from the job. Surprisingly, sixty-five percent of the respondents confirmed that they were completely satisfied while thirty-two percent claimed that they realize that the automobile appraisal work and the responsibilities that come with it not only makes the world a better place but also positively influences many people’s lives and lifestyles.

The typical day of appraiser guys is unique in the sense that every single day, they embark on the exercise of estimating parts before laboring to repair the defects. They often make use of standardized automotive parts and labor cost guides alongside the automobile repair skills and experience in the process of doing this kind of work. It is also upon the appraiser guys to oversee the reviewing of vehicle repair cost approximations together with vehicle repair store so as to agreement on the repair cost. In my Oklahoma tour, I came to the realization that one of the primary roles of vehicle appraiser guys revolve around the examination of damaged cars with the main purpose of determining the level of interior, electrical, mechanical, body or structural damage. There are those who oversee the preparation of insurance claims documents so as to show the cost recommendations and estimates. It is worth taking into account the fact that aside from the above mentioned obvious roles of appraiser guys, there are other often overlooked responsibilities that they take up. For example, they assess the sensibleness of vehicle repair as opposed to payment of market worth of the car prior to the accident in which it was involved. Additionally, they may also embark on the determination of salvage value on complete-loss automobiles.
