A rear-end collision on the Berlin ring road, a dent in a business park car park or the value of your car before a sale: as your car appraiser in Ludwigsfelde we come to you free of charge, arrange appointments as quickly as possible and give you a free initial assessment. We work across Berlin and Brandenburg, and Ludwigsfelde is part of our service area south of the capital.
Ludwigsfelde, Teltow-Fläming district
Your car appraiser for Ludwigsfelde and the surrounding area
Ludwigsfelde borders Berlin to the south and is closely linked to the capital by the A10 and the B101. Many people commute daily to Marienfelde, Lichtenrade or the city centre, and there is heavy delivery and works traffic in the industrial estates. Rear-end collisions at traffic lights and motorway slip roads, lane-change accidents and manoeuvring damage in large company car parks are therefore common. We inspect your vehicle where it is parked: outside your home, in your employer’s car park or in villages such as Genshagen, Löwenbruch, Siethen or Gröben. We also cover the neighbouring municipalities of Blankenfelde-Mahlow and Großbeeren.
Services for vehicle owners in Ludwigsfelde
We prepare accident and damage reports, value vehicles before a purchase or sale and record evidence when the course of events is disputed or the other party is unknown. We discuss which type of report suits your case by phone before the appointment.
In short: A vehicle report in Ludwigsfelde usually costs from €150 to €350 (short report) or from €300 to €700 (damage report), depending on scope. The call-out is free, and after an accident that was not your fault the at-fault party’s insurer generally pays.
Accident report when someone else is at fault
If another driver caused the accident, we determine repair costs, repair time and any diminished value as the basis for the claim.
Car valuation report
For a sale, inheritance, separation or your insurer we assess the condition, equipment and market situation of your vehicle.
Evidence after dents and hit-and-run
If the person responsible is unknown, we secure foreign paint, impact height and deformation before rain or a car wash removes them.
Free call-out
We come to your home, your workplace or your preferred garage in Ludwigsfelde.
Why your own appraiser matters after an accident
Shortly after an accident the other party’s insurer often gets in touch and suggests its own expert or a partner garage. That expert, however, works for the insurer. An independent appraiser you instruct yourself records every item you are entitled to: repairs, loss of use, diminished value and, in the case of a total loss, the replacement value. After an accident that was not your fault you are generally free to choose your appraiser.
From the town centre to Siethen
Residential street, business park or village road: we record the damage where your vehicle is.
Commuter traffic accidents
We document rear-end collisions at slip roads or on the B101 with impact pattern and damage path.
Documents for the claim
You receive photos, a cost calculation and all values the insurer needs to check the claim.
Measuring on the vehicle
Paint thickness measurement, frame measurement and reading control units reveal hidden damage.
When an appointment in Ludwigsfelde makes sense
A report is worthwhile after any accident caused by someone else that left more than a small scratch, after parking or manoeuvring damage with an unknown culprit, before buying a used car privately and whenever you need written proof of your vehicle’s value.
Your appraiser, not the insurer's
Even if the other party's insurer offers an expert, you can generally still instruct us.
Appointment at work

Vehicle reports in every part of Ludwigsfelde
Besides the town centre, Ludwigsfelde includes several rural villages such as Genshagen, Löwenbruch, Siethen, Gröben and Kerzendorf. Distances between fields, avenues and woodland are long, but that makes no difference to you because the call-out is free. A parking space at home, a company car park or your garage yard is all we need. If the car can no longer be driven after the accident, we come to the towing company.

What the report from Ludwigsfelde contains
The report contains the repair costs, the expected repair time and, where the case requires it, diminished value, replacement value and residual value. The at-fault party’s insurer settles the claim on this basis, and you have a factual foundation if individual items are cut. Fees for a damage report are usually from €300 to €700, for major damage from €700 to €1,200. If you were not at fault, the other party’s insurer generally pays the appraiser’s fees. All prices are on our page about the cost of a vehicle report, and details for third-party claims are on the page about the liability claim report.
As your car appraiser for Berlin & Brandenburg we also work in neighbouring towns, for example Zossen and, on the Berlin side, Marienfelde.
After an accident in Ludwigsfelde: the right steps
- Switch on hazard lights, put on a high-visibility vest, set up the warning triangle. On the motorway, go behind the crash barrier.
- If anyone is injured, give first aid and call the emergency services on 112.
- Take photos of both vehicles, the number plates, their final positions and the surroundings.
- Note the name, address and insurer of the other party and the contact details of witnesses.
- Do not sign any admission of guilt; call the police if there is a dispute or injuries.
- Call us and we will arrange an appointment as quickly as possible.
Please leave the vehicle unchanged and unwashed until the inspection if possible. Foreign paint, abrasion and deformation help to attribute the damage later. If you are unsure whether a report is worthwhile, send us a few photos in advance.
Checking used cars and determining vehicle value
Many appointments in Ludwigsfelde have nothing to do with an accident. Anyone buying a used car privately usually waives the warranty and should know before signing whether the car has previous damage. We measure the paint thickness on all body panels, check panel gaps, underbody and repair traces and read the control units if needed. Details are on our used car check page.
For a valuation report, care condition, optional extras, mileage, service history and known previous damage all feed into the market assessment. A standard valuation usually costs from €150 to €350, a detailed one from €350 to €750. The report helps in price negotiations, with an inheritance or separation and with your insurer.
Company vehicles and commuter cars
Many vehicles in Ludwigsfelde are used for work, from the field sales estate car to a tradesperson’s van. If such a vehicle is off the road after an accident, a fast and complete inspection matters so that the repair can be approved quickly. That is why we record the expected downtime as well as the repair costs.
For high-mileage commuter cars we check carefully which traces come from the current accident and which are older. This separation protects you from the insurer cutting items by pointing to previous damage.
Wildlife collisions on the roads around Ludwigsfelde
Many roads between the villages run through fields and forest, and deer and wild boar cross especially at dusk. After a wildlife collision, inform the police or the local hunter and ask for a wildlife accident certificate, because partial comprehensive cover often does not pay without it.
We then document the damage including hair and blood traces, impact height and all affected parts, so that your insurer can clearly attribute the wildlife damage.
Free initial assessment for Ludwigsfelde
Not sure whether you need a report or whether a repair estimate is enough? Send us photos of the damage and a short description. We give you a free initial assessment and tell you openly which route makes sense. Afterwards we come to you free of charge on request, whether to the town centre, Löwenbruch or Gröben.
Short report for minor damage
Not every damage needs a full report. If the damage is likely to be below the minor damage threshold, usually set at around €750, a short report is often the right solution. It contains photos, an expert description of the damage and the expected repair costs and usually costs from €150 to €350.
Whether your damage is below or above that line cannot always be judged from the outside. Behind a slightly dented bumper there may be broken brackets, shifted sensors or a damaged cross member. If in doubt we clarify this during the inspection and then recommend the right type of report.
