Independent Automotive Damage Appraisers Association

IADA is a leader in the insurance/automotive industry in providing not only its members, but the entire industry, a forum for exchange of ideas and solutions to common problems in automotive appraisal and repair. Through national and regional educational seminars and the distribution of technical information, IADA members receive the diversity of training needed for appraisers to stay in the vanguard of this complex industry. Authoritative speakers address these seminars, not only on auto repair matters, but also on heavy trucks and equipment, motorcycles, boats, tires, plastics, high alloy metals, mig welding, new paints, measuring equipment, fire analysis, product failure -- a wide range of technical issues in our industry. For many years, claims executives of the self-insured and insurance industries have participated in these seminars so they may stay abreast of the fast-changing automotive field.

The IADA is also closely allied with other organizations whose goal is to upgrade the industry. Our members work closely with the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR) -- we support it fully and have served on its executive board.

The IADA is in a class by itself. There is no other group of appraisers -- independent or otherwise -- who have consistently associated with each other for more than 50 years while furthering the goals and standards of the appraisal industry. IADA members have built a solid reputation based on their commitment to providing quality automotive damage appraisals and evaluations at competitive fees. Objective appraisals provided by competent automotive specialists will improve your auto claim or fleet operations productivity and reduce costs while maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction. So, if you are looking to avoid needless auto repair over-payments and improve the accuracy of total loss or lease-end settlement information, IADA is the answer. If you are ready to develop a national or regional automotive damage appraisal, direct repair reinspection, or fleet vehicle condition appraisal service program for your company, call 800-369-IADA.
