Separate the two figures
A repair estimate describes anticipated repair work. The app’s depreciation figure compares its estimated pre-accident and post-repair vehicle values. Do not add the two together and present the result as a confirmed bill or payment. Read the value-loss comment and the repair breakdown as separate outputs based on the information supplied.
Check the vehicle information
Review the make, model, year and mileage you entered. Missing or incorrect details limit how useful the estimate can be. The photos show visible damage at the time they were taken; they do not establish the vehicle’s full history or its actual sale price. Keep that distinction in mind when discussing an app-generated report with someone else.
Understand what the percentage represents
The displayed percentage belongs to the app’s estimated value comparison. It is not a verified market valuation, an insurer’s decision or a promise of compensation. CarDamage is a tool for understanding and documenting an initial assessment. Use an appropriate professional assessment when you need a confirmed vehicle valuation.
Keep a clear record
Export the PDF with the damage photographs, repair-cost breakdown and value-loss explanation. Keep the context and assumptions visible rather than sharing a percentage on its own. This makes the report easier to understand later and helps you prepare specific questions. Detailed analysis and reports are Pro features; check the App Store for the subscription options available in your region.
