Initial appraisals often list visible damages only. In some cases, there is additional loss-related damage that is discovered after the repair process has begun. If additional loss-related damage to your vehicle is identified, your repair shop will advise the appraiser who wrote MetLife Auto & Home’s estimate. The appraiser will then write up a supplemental estimate that includes the additional damage, and a second check will be issued to you from MetLife Auto & Home.
