When the Claim Isn’t Routine
Four situations where an estimate alone will not settle the question.
The shop says one thing. The owner says another.
The mechanical failure may — or may not — be accident related.
The repair is complete, but something doesn’t look right.
The estimate is substantial and someone needs an independent second opinion.
That’s when Cornerstone gets the call.
