How to Read an Audatex Autosource Valuation Report
Walkthrough of the Audatex Autosource total-loss report.
Published April 28, 2026 · Updated May 2, 2026
Bottom line
Audatex Autosource reports compress adjustment detail into a single 'market value' result, making them harder to dispute. Always request the full underlying detail and verify the comparable selection, condition grading, and option crediting independently.
Where Audatex Autosource is used
Audatex Autosource (a Solera product) is used by Cincinnati Insurance Company and many other smaller carriers.
Why Audatex reports are harder to read
Audatex's report format emphasizes a single 'market value' result and tends to collapse the adjustment detail. Many claimants accept the first offer because there are not as many details to observe and challenge.
This is why checking with an independent appraiser to confirm fair value is a must.
How to challenge an Audatex valuation
Request the full report. Verify each comparable. Pull your VIN through NHTSA to confirm the correct year, make, model, and trim package. Make sure that the carrier used apples to apples comparable vehicles.

Your consultation and offer review are free. The Appointed Appraiser Service is $495. It includes the Appraisal Research, our appointment as your appraiser under your insurance policy's appraisal clause, determining the amount of loss with your insurer's appraiser, and the appraisal award letter.
At least $1,000 more, or your fee is waived. This applies once we accept your consultation and serve as your appraiser. The starting point is your insurer's offer on the day we accept. If the appraisal award, or a higher offer your insurer makes instead, is less than $1,000 above it, we waive our $495 Appointed Appraiser Service fee. If an umpire is needed, the umpire's fee is separate. We pre-authorize your card only after we accept your consultation, so there's no upfront payment.
