Auto estimates and appraisals in Las Vegas
Two estimates, one car, thousands apart. An estimate or appraisal is only as strong as what got written down. Every document VICE prepares is quoted in writing before work starts.
What’s included
An estimate and an appraisal are different documents with different jobs.
A shop estimate is a repair plan. An appraisal documents damage and value for review. A supplement records additional damage found after the first estimate.
- Repair estimate
- Insurance appraisal
- Supplement estimate
- Visible damage and operation list
- Parts, labor, and procedure entries

Keep the estimate, appraisal, and supplement distinct.

Get it in writing
Every document VICE prepares is quoted in writing before work starts. The carrier makes the claim decision.
One car, one document, one clear next step.
The estimate from photographs may not show everything teardown later reveals. The appraisal and supplement answer different questions in the record. VICE prepares documents in the format reviewing parties use and delivers them to you.
