Document the repair stages

Agree on the required photographs, measurement reports and safety-equipment repair records before structures are covered. The inspector may require additional evidence of the condition of inspected items.

Good to know before booking

Does every repaired collision vehicle need a damage inspection?

No. The need depends on the type of damage, registration status and vehicle records. Send this information to an expert before your visit.

When should I contact an inspector?

Before repair work begins or structures are covered. This allows you to agree which photos, measurements and documents are required.

Are photos of the repairs enough?

Photos are one part of the documentation. Depending on the damage, measurement reports and documentation on safety-device repairs may also be required.
