Bottom line

Audatex Autosource reports compress adjustment detail into a single 'market value' result, making them harder to dispute. Always request the full underlying detail and verify the comparable selection, condition grading, and option crediting independently.

Where Audatex Autosource is used

Audatex Autosource (a Solera product) is used by Cincinnati Insurance Company and many other smaller carriers.

Why Audatex reports are harder to read

Audatex's report format emphasizes a single 'market value' result and tends to collapse the adjustment detail. Many claimants accept the first offer because there are not as many details to observe and challenge.

This is why checking with an independent appraiser to confirm fair value is a must.

How to challenge an Audatex valuation

Request the full report. Verify each comparable. Pull your VIN through NHTSA to confirm the correct year, make, model, and trim package. Make sure that the carrier used apples to apples comparable vehicles.

Frequently asked questions

Is Audatex 'fairer' or 'less fair' than CCC?
Neither inherently. The methodology is similar; the practical outcome depends on how diligently the adjuster sources comparables and credits options. Audatex's report opacity makes it harder to spot errors, which often disadvantages the claimant.
