Service
Repair Estimate Review
ARMA reviews repair estimates, diagnoses, scopes, parts, labor, exclusions, and technical logic before the client authorizes costly work.
Who it's for
Owners or buyers who received a repair estimate or diagnosis and want an independent technical read before authorizing the work.
What's included
- Estimate and scope review
- Distinguishing necessary work from questionable or unclear items
- Questions prepared for the yard or contractor
- Final recommendation: proceed, negotiate, get a second quote, or do not authorize yet; the decision is the client’s
- A practical summary of the findings
What's not included
- ARMA does not perform the repair
- ARMA does not guarantee the yard's or contractor's final price
- ARMA does not replace the yard's own diagnosis process
- ARMA does not negotiate directly with the yard unless separately agreed
- ARMA does not certify hidden conditions not covered by the estimate
When it makes sense
Use this service when a repair estimate is expensive, unclear, or raises questions, and before the client authorizes the work.
How ARMA works
ARMA reviews the estimate and any diagnosis provided, evaluates scope and technical logic, and delivers a practical recommendation together with the questions the client should raise with the yard.
Frequently asked questions
Where does ARMA provide this service?
ARMA is based in La Paz and also serves Los Cabos and other locations in Baja California Sur, Mexico. This review is done remotely with the estimate and the documents you send.
What will ARMA tell me?
A recommendation (proceed, negotiate, get a second quote, or do not authorize yet), which items look necessary and which look questionable or unclear, and the questions to raise with the yard or contractor.
Does ARMA talk to the yard for me?
Not directly, unless separately agreed. ARMA prepares the questions so the client can raise them with the yard.
What should I send?
The estimate or quote, any diagnosis or report from the yard, and photos if you have them.
