Your independent car assessor in Berlin. I take care of your damage report.

After an accident that was not your fault, the other party's liability insurer usually pays the costs. In most cases we bill the insurer directly once you have assigned your claim to us, so you do not have to pay anything upfront. We clarify in advance whether this is possible in your case. If you caused the accident yourself, or for valuations for buying, selling or classic cars, we agree the costs with you in advance. All prices are listed under Costs and process.

Yes. In German, "Kfz" stands for motor vehicle, and in everyday speech many people simply say "Autogutachter" (car assessor). It is the same expert: after an accident they document and assess the damage to your car, and they also inspect motorcycles, vans and motorhomes. How to recognise a good assessor is explained under vehicle assessors in Berlin.

No. If the accident was not your fault, you are generally free to choose your own assessor. An assessor sent by the insurer works on the insurer's behalf. More on this under your rights after an accident.

Yes. We cover all twelve Berlin districts and the surrounding area, for example Schönefeld and Königs Wusterhausen. The inspection takes place wherever your car is: at home, at work or at the garage. You will find local information, for example for Mitte, Neukölln and Marzahn; all other areas are listed under service areas in Berlin.

Yes. We assess vehicles of all manufacturers, from Audi to Mercedes-Benz to VW, as well as motorcycles, e-scooters, e-bikes, motorhomes and vans. For many makes there is dedicated information, for example on Tesla or Porsche. The overview is under reports for all makes.

Often the same day. Call us or send us a WhatsApp message and we will give you a specific appointment.

Have your vehicle registration certificate (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I) ready and, if known, the other driver's name, licence plate and insurer, as well as the police reference number. We will clarify everything else on site. What matters right after the accident is listed in the checklist after an accident.

The accident damage report records the damage with photos and states the repair costs, repair time, replacement value, residual value and, where applicable, the diminished value. These figures are the basis for your compensation, including loss-of-use compensation or a rental car. The terms are explained in our car glossary.

For minor damage, a repair cost estimateis often enough. As a rule of thumb, the threshold is around €750. A full report also includes the replacement value, residual value and diminished value, and is the stronger basis for larger damage. We will look at your vehicle without obligation and tell you what makes sense.

Cuts are common. We check the reasons given and, if necessary, prepare a professional expert statement. For legal steps, we recommend a specialist traffic lawyer.
