Refurbished vehicle headlight unit on a workshop bench

Motor claims still settle a large share of headlight files with a full assembly replacement, even when the reflector and electronics are intact. EDK Automotive sits in the claims chain as a repair-first assessment partner: we document the failed component, repair it where it is sound to do so, and return a file-ready report rather than a parts invoice for a complete unit.

Claims handling process

Built to sit beside existing workshop networks and claims platforms.

01

Referral

The unit arrives from the policyholder’s workshop or through your existing claims logistics.

02

Assessment

We separate lens, housing, LED module and bracket damage so the file is not treated as a single “replace headlight” line.

Repair

Work is limited to the damaged component; units beyond repair are stated as such, not dressed as a repair.

File pack

Fault, work carried out and post-repair checks are written up for the claims handler.

Claim types we typically see

These are the damage patterns that most often do not need a complete assembly.

Evidence for the claims file

Reporting lists the diagnosed fault, the repair performed and the result of sealing and function checks. Format can follow your handler’s template on higher-volume partnerships so the document lands in the file without re-keying.

Settlement cost without cutting the vehicle short

Repair-first processing lowers average parts spend on headlight lines while restoring the same lighting function the policy is meant to cover. It also avoids writing off housings and electronics that never failed.

Geography of intake

Claims originating in Heidelberg, Mannheim and the surrounding Rhein-Neckar area can use local drop-off. Files from the rest of Germany and neighbouring markets move on carrier schedules into Wiesloch, so cycle time stays predictable even when the damaged vehicle is not near our bench.

FAQ

Does repair change the claim value compared with replacement?
It typically reduces parts and labour versus a full assembly, because only the damaged component is addressed.
Can you say repair or replace before the claim is closed?
Yes. Diagnosis states whether damage is limited to a repairable part or whether replacement is the appropriate outcome.
What goes into the claims documentation?
Diagnosed fault, work performed, and post-repair function and sealing checks — enough for a handler to support the file.
