Your shop’s job is to repair the vehicle correctly. Your customer’s problem is everything outside of that—insurance pressure, confusing claim processes, unclear updates, and financial loss after repairs. This is where Nexus Claim Services and Repair Vision step in to protect your customer and make your shop look like the one that actually cares.
Nexus Claim Services: Safeguarding Your Customer’s Finances
Most vehicle owners don’t realize how much money they can lose after an accident—even if the car is repaired perfectly. Nexus steps in to ensure your customer doesn’t get financially shortchanged in the process.
Diminished Value (DV)
After the repair, the vehicle is worth less on the market—this is a fact. Nexus files the diminished value claim for the customer, using real valuation data and repair documentation. This helps recover the loss they’d otherwise never see.
Total Loss Representation
If the vehicle is totaled, customers often get low-balled every single time. Nexus negotiates the valuation directly with the insurance company, ensuring:
The vehicle is valued correctly
All options are counted
Market region is accurate
The customer doesn’t get short-changed
No customer should lose thousands because they didn’t know how to argue a valuation. Nexus handles that.
RTA / Appraisal Clause (When the Insurance Company Digs In)
When insurance refuses to pay what’s fair, Nexus triggers the Right to Appraisal (RTA) process and represents the customer. We bring in independent valuation and negotiation, bypassing the adjuster entirely.
Translation: The customer doesn’t have to fight. We fight for them.
Texas Public Adjuster Service
In Texas, a Public Adjuster can legally:
Advocate for the policyholder
Negotiate the claim amount
Ensure full and correct payment
Nexus is licensed to handle this legally and professionally. No drama. No guessing. Just representation that gets results.
Repair Vision: Clear, Personal Communication with Your Customer
Your customer doesn’t need daily calls. They need clarity and trust. Repair Vision allows your shop to:
Record a short walk-around video during teardown or updates
Speak directly to the customer (audio is built in)
Add a quick note explaining the next step
Hit Save → Send
The customer instantly understands what’s happening and why.
Why This Matters
When the customer sees the damage and hears the explanation, they trust you. They stop calling constantly. They don’t panic when supplements are needed. They feel taken care of.
How They Work Together
Repair Vision shows the customer what was found and what’s next.
Nexus uses that same documentation to defend the repair, handle supplements, and protect the customer’s financial interest.
Your shop looks:
Transparent
Professional
Customer-focused
The customer:

Feels protected
Doesn’t get financially burned
Everybody wins—except the insurance carrier trying to save money.
