Why All Seasons Appraisal?
While automobile estimates are more of an exact science, recreational vehicle estimates are not, and will not be in the foreseeable future. Software available to insurance companies to assist in calculating estimates fall short due to the models available, the floor plan variations within those models as well as the constant changes that take place during production. Most repair facilities know that insurance companies do not have experts in the areas of RV’s and inland marine or even access to component costs and they take advantage of this by charging excessive per hour rates, inflated labor time and above retail part prices on their estimates.
This is why All Seasons Appraisal should be your first choice.
