VDA SOLUTION
Why should you use our outsourced estimating solution?
As the UK's first and only BS10125 accredited outsourced estimating department, why wouldn't you?
Artura was born to set the new standard in Estimating, for too long repairers have been losing huge amounts of revenue through poor, lazy or overworked VDAs. Not only that, exposing themselves to potential backlash through failure to identify key safety-related issues when estimating a vehicle.
Our service is proven to be self-funding. The additional revenue generated through thorough estimation covers its cost and beyond, ensuring increased profitability for your business at zero cost to you. Additionally, our agreed pricing structures with major insurers not only reinforce this but also create stronger relationships between you and the insurer, improving authorisation times dramatically and benefiting everyone involved – owner, insurer and repairer alike.
