Streamline first notice of loss and repair management

When an accident happens, fast and professional response is critical. Element streamlines the process with a dedicated accident intake system and repair management oversight.

We handle:

  • 24/7 accident reporting and first notice of loss (FNOL). For lower damage accidents, drivers can share photos with our repair network, who can then prepare estimates remotely, saving time and avoiding unnecessary shop visits.

  • Roadside assistance and towing coordination.

  • Rental and replacement vehicle setup to minimize downtime.

  • Repair reviews and negotiations by in-house ASE-certified and ICAR-trained certified accident adjusters to ensure fair pricing.

  • Communication through an automated workflow to speed up the repair process, enhancing productivity

With Element, every step of the accident process is managed efficiently so your drivers are supported and your vehicles get back on the road faster.

Gain better returns on salvage sales

When a vehicle is deemed a total loss, managing salvage recovery can be a complicated, time-consuming process. Element simplifies it by overseeing the entire salvage sales process.

Element’s salvage sales net you the best return by offering.

  • A salvage network consisting of more than 150 targeted salvage buyers who want your damaged vehicles as their first choice. Direct bidding eliminates auction selling fees.

  • The convenience of winning bidders picking up your vehicles from the shop where it is located, eliminating additional transportation fees (where possible.)

  • An average turnaround of sale proceeds of less than 15 days.

By handling the details, we help you maximize net returns while reducing administrative burden.
