About Us
Our experience is built on more than two decades of working throughout the collision repair and insurance industries.
That includes experience with:
- A major national insurance carrier
- Program shop collision repair facilities
- Dealership-owned collision centers
- Independent appraisal services
- Program shop reinspections
- Field inspections
- Total loss evaluations
- Estimate reviews
- Supplement documentation
Working within each of these environments has provided a practical understanding of how successful claims are handled—from the initial inspection through final repair.
That perspective allows us to communicate effectively with adjusters, repair facilities, and vehicle owners while maintaining objectivity throughout the process.
Having spent much of our career working within an insurance environment, we understand the importance of:
- Timely inspections
- Consistent estimating practices
- Accurate documentation
- Professional customer interactions
- Reliable communication
- Quality control
- Meeting service level expectations
- Protecting your company's reputation
Our objective is to make your claims process easier—not more complicated.
Today's vehicles are more complex than ever.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), multiple material types, OEM repair procedures, calibration requirements, and evolving repair standards demand more than simply writing an estimate.
They require an appraiser who understands the repair process, recognizes potential hidden damage, and documents findings thoroughly.
Every inspection performed by DB Appraisals focuses on:
- Accurate damage identification
- Thorough photographic documentation
- Vehicle option verification
- Tire tread measurements
- Damage measurements when appropriate
- VIN and ownership documentation
- Total loss documentation
- Clear estimate documentation
- Professional communication
The result is a report that supports claim decisions and provides confidence for everyone involved.
