    I got 2 good ones for you guys.First PDA appraisal.They adjuster doesn’t come he sends his wife with a camera and clip board to take pics and info then he writes them at home.She isn’t licensed.Hes just lazy.@nd barker claims will no longer send out adjuster to do supp sheet they tell me fax it when done and we’ll try to get you paid:laugh: thats no problem because it will never leave the property till it is paid.The barker job is a 98 s10 that both frnt rails are 8inches to the left frame time alone is enough to total it but hey what the hell I’ll fix no problem.damn the cost full speed ahead.

    ta be honest i have better luck dealing with the independent adjusters than the company adjusters they always seem ta be more generous than lets say a progressive or safeco adjuster that acts like he is spending his kids inheritence or his own money the independents that ive dealt with seem ta now what companeys allow what an i never have ta supplement as much ive even had em raise my labor rates thats why if the adjuster is an independent i always make sure the car is inside an tore down for em they always seem ta want to take care of me an my lttle shop cant say that for company appraisers though:blink: :blink:

    Don’t Independants get paid to write supplements, so they need to write as much (or more??) damage initially so they don’t waste more time on the rebound?

    I actually got by mistake a bill to their contractor for 285.00 to come write an estimate so take your gas and driving time and it doesn’t add up to much.I think they get paid a bonus on how little they write.
