Fixed-price diagnostics

You know the price before we start.

Diagnostics are usually billed by the hour, so you don't know the cost until the job is done. We charge a fixed price for each stage. If a stage takes us longer than expected, the price stays the same. At the end of each stage we show you what we found, and you decide whether we continue.

For insurers & assessors

Independent vehicle inspections, carried out on site.

When a policyholder disputes a repair claim, we inspect the vehicle where it is and give our determination on the day. We determine whether the mechanical fault is impact related, and whether the insurer is required to repair it.

No towing costs

We inspect the vehicle at home, at work or at the repairer, so there is no cost to move it for an assessment.

No waiting on a report

The vehicle doesn't sit in a workshop queue for weeks. The determination and photo report are provided on the spot.

When to refer

Referring early costs less.

At the first complaint

One on-site inspection and an independent determination on the day. Many disputes can be resolved before they reach AFCA.

As a last resort

Towing, storage, weeks of case work and AFCA fees. By this stage, costs can exceed $20,000 before there is an answer.
