What if more damage is found after the facility starts repairs?

Finding additional damages during the repair process is normal. A vehicle involved in an accident may have damage that is not visible when the initial estimate is written but becomes visible once the repairs begin. Any adjustments made to the initial estimate are called supplements.

If additional damage is discovered while repairing your vehicle, the repair facility will contact the appraiser who wrote the original estimate to complete a supplement.

If you've been involved in an accident, you can take your vehicle to the repair facility of your choice. If you don't have a preferred repair facility when you file a claim, Esurance can help you select one through the E-star program.

E-star, the Esurance Direct Repair Program, features highly qualified repair facilities and guarantees repairs for as long as you own the vehicle. These facilities also allow you to monitor the progress of your vehicle repairs online.
