Why are estimates so different in price?
Whether your estimates are from repair facilities or insurance companies it is very difficult to compare them unless the damages are very minor. There are many reasons why they may at times seem very far apart. Normally they are simply not estimating all the same items and operations. This it not to say that either or any of the estimates are wrong, but one shop may feel a hidden item is likely to be damaged, based on past experience, and write it on the estimate. Another shop may only write what is visible at the present time before the vehicle is dismantled. What really should be important to you is that when the vehicle is completed, it is safe and properly repaired…and did you know…the final bills will most often be very similar.
