I am very proud to be invited to speak (see attached Autobody News ABAT Conference on Processes Necessary to Repair Vehicles 8.31.2015) at the September 2015 ABAT Conference on Processes Necessary to Repair Vehicles. This conference is right in tune with what our company Vehicle Value Experts has to offer Auto Body Association of Texas (ABAT) members, consumers and lenders alike.
It is our contention at Vehicle Value Experts the single most deciding factor in the "Process to Repair Vehicles" is in fact "The Vehicle Value."
When the Insurance Companies provide Claimants and Body Shops with unsupported Market Vehicle Value Reports with below Market Values everyone looses. When in fact the wrong Vehicle Value is used as a Bench Market as to the deciding factor as to the Collision Repair more times than not the vehicle is deemed a Total Loss and the Body Shop looses the job and the customer.
Under our Spoke and Hub Theory (see attached HUB AN SPOKE THEORY) by the claimant and the Body Shop getting Vehicle Value Experts involved early on in the process more vehicles are repaired thus protecting the five profit centers (Body Labor, Frame Labor, Paint Labor & Materials, Parts and Sublet) of the Body Shop as well as keeping the customer.
Vehicle Value Experts has developed proprietary software models designed to assist the consumers rights as to Appraisal Clause and Inherent Diminished Value. I have attached for your review Texas Department of Insurance Automobile Insurance Made Easy ACTUAL WEBSITE ARTICLE (focus on the highlighted section on page 11) and Texas Department of Insurance Diminished Value Commissioners Bulletin. I will touch on each of these in detail during my speaking engagement at the ABAT Conference on September 25th.
What Vehicle Value Experts has to offer consumers, Body Shops and Lenders is a Proven Tool to combat the wrongful devaluing of Motor Vehicles by the Insurance Companies. Thus allowing more Vehicles to be repaired and ultimate retention of more customers.This is our Mission Statement.
Vehicle Value Experts will also cover with the attendees at the seminar a detail insight into Inherent Diminished Value Claims as well as point out The Texas Department of Insurance Bulletin on Diminished Value Claims.
In closing, each and every time a legitimate claim for collision damages is denied, the insurance company rings the cash register at the consumer and Body Shop expense. Together we can detour this by educating our clients and members a like as to the tools available at hand.
