Getting an estimate be careful about giving your VIN (vehicle identifcation # ) out.

August 26, 2014 by aleks auto body

I recently learned that if you are getting an estimate from one of the big companies that use either Mitchell or ADP estimating software, the value of the damage on your vehicle will end up on a CARFAX or CARProof report.

The software they use is based on an online system. Once they enter your VIN # into the software it downloads the pricing for parts.

What most people don’t know is that your estimate can be uploaded and then sold off to an insurance company or a vehicle history reporting website.
