Typical scenarios
Similar repair operations appear on separate estimate lines
If several repair estimate lines concern the same damaged part, the total may raise questions. Similar operation names do not always mean duplication: some work may be included in another operation or performed separately.
Dismantling reveals vehicle damage absent from the first inspection record
If a repairer reports additional damage after removing outer parts, its absence from the first record does not establish its origin. Some areas may have been inaccessible, but later deformation could also relate to another event. Each addition needs a component and recording stage.
