Car Appraiser Falkensee – On-Site Accident and Valuation Reports

Last updated23 October 2026

AYTI Vehicle Appraisals

Falkensee lies directly on the border with Spandau, and many journeys lead to Berlin every day. If an accident happens along the way or you are planning to sell a vehicle, we come to you free of charge and inspect your vehicle independently.

Falkensee, Brandenburg

Independent car appraiser for Falkensee

Falkensee has grown considerably in recent decades. Many families live in the residential areas of Finkenkrug, Falkenhagen or Seegefeld and depend on the car – often on two. Accordingly, we frequently see parking and manoeuvring damage in residential streets, rear-end collisions in commuter traffic towards Spandau and damage in shopping centre car parks.

Our services in Falkensee

We prepare accident reports, short reports and valuation reports and check used cars before purchase. We tell you honestly in advance what scope makes sense for your case.

Accident reports in Falkensee

We document the damage completely, calculate the repair route and record the repair time and loss in value.

Used car check

Before you buy, we check paint, panel gaps, rust and traces of repair and show you whether the vehicle has been in an accident.

Short report for minor damage

For manageable damage, a short report or a cost estimate is often sufficient.

Appointment at your location

We come to you in Falkensee free of charge and offer appointments as quickly as possible.

Why you should choose your own appraiser after an accident

The other party’s insurer has an interest in settling the claim cheaply. An independent expert commissioned by you, on the other hand, documents all the items you are entitled to. In addition to the repair costs, these include loss in value, loss of use or hire car costs. If the accident was not your fault, you can usually choose the appraiser yourself, and the other party’s insurer bears the costs.

Documenting vehicle condition transparently

We record relevant damage and features in a structured way.

Thorough damage assessment

We examine the damage with a trained eye for detail.

Clear documentation

You receive understandable documents for your next steps.

Values and damage in view

We record value-relevant factors that match your request.

When an appointment in Falkensee makes sense

A report is worthwhile after an accident that was not your fault with visible damage, before buying or selling a used car, for parking damage where the person responsible is unknown and if you want to know whether a repair is still worthwhile on an older vehicle.

Independent and transparent

We document the condition of your vehicle objectively and transparently.

Appointment by arrangement

We agree the place and time of the inspection with you individually.

Vehicle appraisals in Falkensee and the surrounding area

We come to all districts of Falkensee and to neighbouring places such as Dallgow-Döberitz, Schönwalde-Glien or Brieselang. All we need for the inspection is a parking space with sufficient light – in the residential areas usually your own driveway. If the vehicle is at a towing service or garage after an accident, we inspect it there.

Common reasons in Falkensee

Rear-end collisions in commuter traffic towards Spandau
Parking and manoeuvring damage in residential streets and driveways

Valuation before selling the second car

Report, costs and settlement

The report states the repair costs, repair time and – depending on the case – loss in value, replacement value and residual value. The other party’s insurer settles the claim on this basis. In the case of an accident that was not your fault and above the minor damage threshold, it usually also bears the appraisal costs. You can find general information on our page about vehicle appraisal costs.

As a car appraiser for Berlin & Brandenburg, we are also there for you in neighbouring Spandau, in Nauen and throughout the rest of Havelland.

Valuation report before a sale

Anyone selling a car in Falkensee often deals with interested buyers from all over Berlin. A neutral valuation report describes the condition, equipment, mileage and previous damage and shows how the value is made up. This creates trust and makes price negotiations easier – especially for well-maintained vehicles with a complete service history, whose advantages are difficult to convey in adverts.

For the valuation, we need the vehicle, the registration certificate, the service book and – if available – invoices for repairs and accessories. The inspection takes place at your location. You receive the report in writing with photos so that you can present it directly to interested buyers.

After the accident: the most important steps

Secure the accident scene and look after anyone injured.
Take photos of the vehicle positions, damage, registration plates and surroundings.
Note down the details of the other party and of any witnesses.
Do not sign an admission of guilt and do not let yourself be pushed towards a particular garage.
Inform your own insurer and arrange an appointment with an appraiser.

If possible, leave the vehicle unchanged until the inspection. Foreign paint and abrasion marks help to attribute the damage. If the car is no longer roadworthy, have it towed – we will then come to where it is parked. If the other party’s insurer has already called and offered its own appraiser, you usually do not have to accept. More on this on our page about the appraisal for third-party liability claims.

Residential streets, driveways and garden damage

Falkensee is characterised by detached houses, narrow residential streets and driveways with gates, hedges and fences. A lot of damage happens here while manoeuvring: a post that is overlooked, a neighbour reversing out of the driveway or a branch that falls on the roof during hedge trimming.

Objective documentation is particularly helpful for damage between neighbours. It avoids disputes because the damage is recorded objectively. We record which components are affected and note whether the damage matches the account of how it happened.

Commuting to Spandau: accidents in rush-hour traffic

Many people from Falkensee cross the city boundary every day to Spandau and on into the city centre. Rear-end collisions are common in rush-hour traffic. In such accidents, damage to the rear is often underestimated. Behind the bumper there are cross members, crash absorbers and sensors which are not always visibly damaged.

After a rear-end collision, we recommend not just looking at the visible scratches but having the vehicle professionally inspected. If you are affected through no fault of your own, you can choose the appraiser yourself. The costs are then usually borne by the other party’s insurer.

We arrange an appointment at your home, workplace or garage.
We inspect the vehicle and explain the findings to you directly on site.
You receive the completed report and know what happens next.

Free initial assessment by photo

Many questions can be clarified before the appointment. Send us a few photos of the damage from different angles and briefly describe what happened. We will get back to you with a free initial assessment: whether a report is needed, who is likely to bear the costs and which documents you should have ready. This way you quickly know where you stand and do not lose any time with the settlement.

If the insurer has any queries, we remain available to you. We explain individual items of the report and comment professionally on cuts, as far as technical questions are concerned. Legal questions are best clarified with a traffic law solicitor, for whom the report serves as a basis.

Minor damage or a report? How to decide in Falkensee

After a minor bump in Falkensee, the question quickly arises as to whether a report is necessary at all. In the case of an accident that was not your fault, the other party’s insurer usually covers the appraisal costs if the damage exceeds the so-called minor damage threshold. This is usually set at around 750 €. Below that, a cost estimate or a short report is often sufficient.

The problem: whether damage is below this threshold is difficult to judge from the outside. Modern bumpers conceal brackets, sensors and impact beams. A scratch that looks like a few hundred euros can become significantly more expensive with paintwork, spare parts and calibration of the parking sensors.

As a car appraiser for Falkensee, we therefore offer you a free initial assessment based on photos. We tell you openly whether a full report is worthwhile or whether a simpler document is sufficient. This way you are not left with appraisal costs and do not give away any claims in the case of more serious damage.
