## Story

**When settling a heavy equipment damage claim with your insurance company and getting a speedy appraisal, it’s not always a timely process. That’s where Property Damage Appraisers, Inc. stands out among the competition. According to** **Overdrive Online****, the damage appraisal firm outranks the national industry average cycle time, which is 10 business days, with its impressive four business days turnaround time.**

**PDA currently has more than 250 franchise offices across the U.S. and has been offering accurate estimates to its customers since 1963. In each of its offices, PDA has heavy equipment specialists and the latest innovative internal optimizing software that “allows reps in those offices to quickly match its appraisers’ skills to any need in any area of the country,” said Overdrive Online.**

**“Time is a big differentiator for PDA,” said PDA Vice President of Sales and Marketing Doug Mountain. “Nationally, our cycle time average is just four days. Time is money for anyone working behind the wheel.”**

**In 2020, PDA is gearing up to launch Heavy Equipment / Specialty 24-hour Inspection, based on the popularity of its** **Same-Day Service** **for automobiles. PDA’s promise is to deliver a quality Heavy Equipment / Specialty Inspection within 24 hours or the inspection is free. This will allow their clients to make a decision in a timely manner on what to do with these valuable pieces of equipment. By getting this inspection information within 24 hours, it will allow their clients to save thousands of dollars in storage and downtime on Heavy and Specialty Equipment.**
