Photo Imaging
Photo Imaging is necessary for verification purposes, so we use digital photographs for each appraisal. The photos help to properly capture and catalogue damage. We store all photos and documents directly in our Online Appraisal System for a minimum of 7 years.
Actual Cash Value
Actual Cash Value means “replacement cost less depreciation”. Canavan’s uses multiple vehicle valuation tools to settle total loss claims quickly, efficiently and fairly.
Canavan’s uses the latest software systems available from the most distinguished companies in the business, Mitchell and Audatex. We use the Connect and the consolidator dispatch appraisal system in all our locations so Insurers can download and upload any assignments. For each file, Canavan’s sends automated notifications to the adjuster with information on the responsible appraiser as soon as it has been assigned by our dispatch team. To keep on top of every file, Canavan’s uses an automated electronic dispatch tracking system to control how many assignments each appraiser has at any given time.
When we bring all these resources together on your appraisal or inspection, it is guaranteed to result in top-notch customer service.
