Property Damage Appraisers INFO

Property Damage Appraisers, Inc. (PDA), the nationwide leading independent damage appraisal firm, is revolutionizing the industry by providing consistent quality products at speeds never experienced before across the United States, including guaranteed Same-Day Service, using a combination of technology and human expertise. PDA completes over 420,000 appraisals a year for heavy equipment, over-the-road truck, specialty equipment, auto, RV, boat, motorcycle and property damage through our national team of more than 600 local appraisers in more than 250 offices. Established in 1963, PDA's corporate headquarters is in Fort Worth, Texas.

 

PDA holds the nation's industry-leading cycle time of less than two days** for auto, but if you need an estimate even faster, its Same-Day Service guarantees an estimate the same day, or it's free.

If you don't want to upgrade to Same-Day Service, but still want an estimate the next day, PDA's Next-Day service option reduces downtime, helps close claims faster and improves the customer experience.

PDA is the first independent appraiser to offer Same-Day Service for auto damage estimates. Now, available in markets across the U.S.

**Cycle time claims are based on a monthly average of estimate cycle times across all PDA offices, calculated in business days.

PDA delivers accurate estimates the first time - saving you time and money.
