What if additional damage not included in the original appraisal is discovered while the vehicle is being repaired?
Your original appraisal is for “visible damage” seen during the inspection. Although every attempt is made to be as thorough as possible, at times additional “hidden damage” is discovered during the repair process. If this happens, the repair facility should contact the original appraiser who will then come to that facility to write a supplemental appraisal for any loss-related damage.
