## Claim process

01. **First Call And File Setup** The first conversation is about facts, not estimates. We take the claim number, the carrier, the adjuster's name and the loss date, then ask what happened and what the vehicle is. A forty two foot diesel pusher with a torn slide room is a different intake from a cargo van with a crushed rear door. That five minute call determines whether the vehicle should come in now, and what the owner should photograph before it moves.

02. **Getting The Vehicle To Yorba Linda** All work happens at the Yorba Linda facility, so the vehicle has to get here. San Juan Capistrano owners usually drive up the 241 or Interstate 5, which is about twenty six miles and thirty five minutes outside of commute hours. If the unit is not drivable, the owner arranges transport, and their policy may address that cost. We schedule the arrival so a stall and an estimator are actually available rather than having the vehicle sit.

03. **Damage Report And Written Scope** A collision estimator writes the damage report at the facility. This is not a walk around with a clipboard. Roof, seams, penetrations, structure, slide operation, glass and driver assistance hardware are all checked whether or not they appear in the reported loss, and moisture readings are taken at every roof penetration. The output is a written scope in construction terms, with photographs, that a carrier reviewer can follow without needing anything explained by phone.

04. **Carrier Submission And Inspection** The scope goes to the carrier with the photograph set attached, and we ask for an inspection date if one is required. Where the carrier has already written an estimate, we submit ours alongside it and identify the differences line by line instead of arguing about the total. Adjusters are far more receptive to a document that says here is the operation, here is the construction detail behind it, here is the photograph.

05. **Teardown And Hidden Damage** Nothing comes apart until teardown is authorized. Once it is, the panel comes off and the vehicle tells the truth. Framing, bond lines, wiring, plumbing runs and slide mechanisms are inspected and photographed from fixed positions with a scale in frame. Structural members are measured against specification rather than eyeballed. On most collision files of any size, this is the step where the real number appears, and it is usually higher than the opening one.

06. **Supplement And Revised Approval** Teardown findings become a supplement, submitted with the photographs attached and each operation tied to a visible condition. If the carrier wants to reinspect, we hold the vehicle in its torn down state until the appraiser has been, because a reinspection after reassembly proves nothing. Approvals are confirmed in writing in the claim system. Verbal agreement on the phone is welcome and it is not what we build a schedule on.

07. **Repair In Sequence** Work runs structure first, then panel, then refinish, then systems, then interior. That order is not a preference. Straightening after a panel is bonded means doing it twice, and paint before mechanical work means a fresh finish gets handled by people carrying tools. Parts are ordered against the projected teardown completion date so components arrive when the vehicle is ready for them rather than sitting in a rack while the schedule slips.

08. **Quality Control, Documentation And Delivery** Before anything is released, the vehicle goes through a documented multi point check: structural measurements against specification, finish inspected against the adjacent panel in daylight, water test on any repaired seam or opening, slide cycled through full travel, and a post repair scan on driver assistance hardware. The owner receives the completed photograph record with the final invoice, and the file closes with the carrier rather than being left open.
