Appraisal - Warsaw

For clients from Warsaw, we carry out a technical assessment of bodywork damage, PDR damage valuation, and consultations on the right repair technology. In-person inspections take place at Clevermot in Królewiec, and for larger B2B orders we agree the possibility of working at another location individually.

Service overview

An independent assessment before repair or discussing a quote

With bodywork damage, the diameter of a dent alone isn't enough for a reliable assessment. What matters is its depth, position, the panel material, access, the condition of the paint, previous repairs and the actual amount of work involved. With hail damage, the number of deformations on each panel adds another layer.

A technical opinion can be useful before an expensive repair, when there's a disagreement between assessments, or when you need to establish whether PDR, a hybrid repair, or a full body-and-paint process is justified.

Initial remote review and a proper in-person inspection

Before driving from Warsaw, you can send photos, an estimate, or a description of the problem. This material helps establish whether the case needs an inspection under PDR lighting, dismantling, or a wider analysis. The final opinion on technology, however, should be based on the car's real condition, not just photographs.

When an independent technical assessment can help

An appraiser's opinion can help when a car owner wants to understand the real condition of the bodywork and the available technologies before repairing it, rather than basing a decision purely on a quick look or photos. This applies to hail damage, unusual deformations, disagreements over the scope of a repair, and cars where keeping the original coating matters.

For a client from Warsaw, it can also be useful in deciding whether a given panel really needs repainting, or whether PDR is technically possible. The opinion itself doesn't replace an insurer's decision or a court expert assessment where that formal route is required, but it gives a structured assessment based on a physical inspection of the bodywork.

What we describe about the damage during an inspection

We analyse the size and shape of the deformation, the condition of the paint, its position relative to body lines and edges, the panel material, and the access needed for repair. With hail damage, the number and density of dents on each panel also matter.

If a panel shows signs of a previous repair, that information can also affect our conclusions. Repainting, filler, or altered structural joins aren't always visible in an ordinary photo, which is why a proper inspection is worth more than a quote given "over the phone".

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you carry out vehicle appraisals for clients from Warsaw?

Yes. In-person inspections take place in Królewiec, and for larger business projects the location can be agreed individually.

Can the opinion cover PDR technology alone?

Yes. The scope can be narrow and cover just the classification for a paintless repair.

Can you verify a hail damage estimate?

We can assess the real number of dents and the amount of work involved, which can serve as a technical reference point for an estimate you've already received.

Does the opinion mean I have to have the repair done at Clevermot?

No. A technical assessment can be a separate, standalone order.

Are photos enough for a full quote?

Not always. With complex damage, an inspection, the right lighting, and sometimes dismantling are needed.

Does an appraiser's opinion guarantee the insurer will change their decision?

No. The opinion is an independent technical document and can support further action, but the final decision depends on the procedure, the insurance contract, and the position of the relevant parties.

Do I need to bring the car from Warsaw for the inspection?

For a full assessment of the bodywork, we recommend inspecting the vehicle in person. Photos can be used for an initial consultation, but they don't show all the features of the deformation or the condition of previous repairs.
