About Collision Safety Consultants
Independent vehicle damage appraisals, total loss valuations, diminished value assessments, and pre-purchase and post-repair inspections.
What we do
Documentation before decisions.
After a vehicle collision, the questions can be complicated. What is the vehicle actually worth? Did a repair restore its condition and safety? Does the insurance valuation reflect the vehicle's equipment, mileage and condition? Collision Safety Consultants helps vehicle owners examine those questions through independent appraisal and inspection services.
Our services include diminished value assessments that document how accident history may affect a vehicle's resale value; total loss valuations that review the numbers behind an insurer's offer; and inspections that assess vehicle condition before purchase or after collision repairs. We also help clients understand the documentation involved in repair cost disputes and appraisal clause claims. Whether a policy permits a particular dispute procedure depends on its terms and applicable law.
Collision Safety Consultants maintains a network of offices across the United States, with additional locations in Canada and Australia. Customers can contact their local consultant to discuss their vehicle and find out which services are available. Our corporate office is in Belmont, North Carolina, and our Northern Florida location is represented by Marty Smith in Fernandina Beach.
Our goal is to give vehicle owners clear, well-documented information when important decisions about repairs, valuation and compensation need to be made. We do not promise a specific claim outcome, but we can explain the appraisal process and the records that may help support your position.
