How it works: No cutting or further damage necessary.

It’s about time

The OnSightLKQ system was developed to help you move through the floor covering replacement cost valuation process quicker, while offering a new level of service to your customers. Assessing the replacement cost value of the flooring early in the claim allows for a more informed decision regarding the restoration protocol. You and your customer will appreciate knowing the flooring allowance early in the claim so you can move forward with the completion of the restoration effort, and your customer can proceed in selecting their replacement flooring.

A NEW SOLUTION TO AN OLD PROBLEM

Lab evaluations are an excellent way to evaluate unique or potentially expensive flooring materials and should be used in those situations. OnSightLKQ is designed to help you determine which surfaces warrant a lab analysis and those that can be evaluated right then at the loss site without cutting the material! OnSightLKQ allows your customers to view and even participate in the deductive process of identifying the damaged flooring; reducing valuation pushback and increasing customer approval.

Use the OnSightLKQ Field Reference Guides and secured website to answer questions based on the manufacturing characteristics of the affected flooring to generate the valuation in minutes.

Get the accuracy you need, in a fraction of the time.

The OnSightLKQ database contains thousands of line items of floor covering manufacturing characteristics that will match virtually any carpet type and style with retail pricing for local market accuracy and like kind quality assurance.

A valuation report automatically generated.

OnSightLKQ creates a detailed valuation report for you, which can be immediately emailed to complete the assessment and move to the next phase of restoration.
