Vehicle ID

The Vehicle ID section of the Valuation Request Worksheet provides a detailed description of the vehicle. If you have the Vehicle Identification Number, much of the information can be determined automatically. Because valuation data changes from month to month, any change to the Loss Date field makes it necessary to refresh the vehicle information. For example, reentering the VIN causes the system to re-query the database and retrieve the most current information.
