Support the local market value

Wisconsin OCI advises that an insurer’s offer may fail to reflect the specific vehicle’s condition, options or local market. Obtain written prices for similar vehicles from dealers and relevant advertisements when challenging the amount. Asking prices are evidence to evaluate, not conclusive sale values. The ordinary personal-auto settlement is based on actual cash value rather than a brand-new replacement.

Understand repair shop and parts choices

OCI explains that an insurer may suggest but cannot require a particular repair shop. If the chosen shop charges above the negotiated settlement, the owner may owe the difference. Similarly, requesting original-manufacturer parts rather than permitted aftermarket or used parts may create an out-of-pocket difference. Obtain written estimates and clarify disputed repair items before authorizing work.

Choose the service and evidence for your asset

Send unit identification, current location, damage photographs and the requested scope. Supplements need the baseline estimate and evidence for added operations; desk review needs specific questions.

Heavy trucks, trailers, agricultural or construction equipment, ATVs, boats and aircraft require asset-specific scope and fee confirmation. Auto rules do not automatically govern these assets. Estimating is not a safety, seaworthiness or airworthiness certification.

Estimating, policy appraisal and property valuation are distinct

A damage estimate does not appoint an appraisal-clause appraiser, umpire or adjuster. These roles have separate requirements. We do not decide coverage or guarantee payment.

Home and mortgage valuations require separate credentials, lender ordering and any applicable appraisal-management compliance. This page does not confirm an available real estate provider network.
