Walkthrough of the Audatex Autosource total-loss report — its compressed format, where adjustments hide, and how to challenge it effectively.

Published April 28, 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 State Farm, Farmers, Travelers, and many smaller carriers. Its market share among total-loss settlements is roughly 20%.

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 they cannot find the specific lines to challenge.

Always request the un-summarized detail. Audatex maintains the per-comparable adjustment math; the insurer's adjuster has it but doesn't always share it by default.

How to challenge an Audatex valuation

Request the full report. Verify each comparable. Pull your VIN through NHTSA to compare against Audatex's option list — Audatex frequently misses factory options.

Frequently asked questions

Is Audatex 'fairer' or 'less fair' than CCC?▼

Neither inherently. The methodology is similar; the practical outcome depends on how diligently the adjuster sources comparables and credits options. Audatex's report opacity makes it harder to spot errors, which often disadvantages the claimant.
