We come to your vehicle, in the city center as well as in the commercial areas around the town.
* For accidents that were not your fault

Four steps lead to claim settlement (Regulierung). We handle three of them for you.

Describe your case in five sentences or send three photos of the damage. I will tell you whether a report is worthwhile and what we need.
One person supports your case from your first description to the delivery of the report. There is no central office and no changing contact. Call us and describe how the accident happened. Within a few minutes we tell you whether a report is worthwhile. This assessment does not obligate you to anything.
As an independent office of vehicle experts, we do not work for an insurance company. We work for you, the person whose car was damaged.
Our inspection
We determine the damage. We do not do the repair. This keeps our damage assessment clearly separate from any interest in repair orders. Six steps set the depth of the inspection.
In the Zirndorf commercial area there are often delivery vehicles and company cars, and the drivers change often. There, the history of a vehicle gets mixed up faster than with a privately owned car. A clean separation of prior damage is therefore especially important. If several people use the same vehicle, we also note the time of each case of contact damage. This keeps the link to the current event clear for the insurer too. Describe your case to us by phone and we tell you whether a report is necessary.
Our services
We clarify the right service beforehand by phone.
Right after the accident: the report states the extent of damage and the right repair method. It also includes repair costs, replacement value (Wiederbeschaffungswert), residual value (Restwert), diminished value (merkantile Wertminderung) and downtime. It covers cars, motorcycles, vans, trucks and trailers. Learn more.
Small damage: Clearly limited damage often needs only a repair estimate (Kostenvoranschlag). The comparison further below shows where a repair estimate is no longer enough. It also shows why a repair estimate is weaker as proof. See the comparison.
Document the value: For Youngtimers (modern classics, 15 to 30 years old), Oldtimers (classic cars, 30+ years) and other vehicles of special value, we determine market value, replacement value and condition grade (Zustandsnote). The grade shows the state of preservation on a scale from 1 to 5. An accident is not needed for this. Learn more.
After a reduction: If the reduced numbers differ from the actual damage, we look at the calculation and values again. We record in writing where the reduction is not supported. Learn more.
Three more real cases show this. The report states the amount for each case and lists every damage item separately.
On site
Zirndorf is divided into the core town around the market square and town hall, several incorporated districts and a larger commercial area in the south of the town. We come to your vehicle, whether it is in the city center, on a company site or at the accident scene.
As of December 31, 2025, Zirndorf had about 26,200 residents. It is the county seat of the Fürth district (Landkreis Fürth). The district office (Landratsamt) has been in Zirndorf since 2003. The vehicle registration office (Zulassungsstelle) for the whole district is also there, at Im Pinderpark 2, 90513 Zirndorf. Anyone who registers or deregisters a vehicle in the Fürth district usually goes to Zirndorf for it. This is true whether you live in Zirndorf, Oberasbach or Stein.

Three patterns shape the damage we see in Zirndorf. This is our observation from practice, not an official statistic.
The direct way
Contact damage in the city center or a bump at the FunPark often raises the same question: is a report worthwhile? Send us photos of the damaged area on WhatsApp. We review your case and name the next step. This creates no obligation.
This first assessment does not replace a report. It tells you beforehand whether a formal inspection is worth the effort.
For small, clear damage, a repair estimate is usually enough. Courts see the exact limit differently. It is usually between €750 and €1,000. The exact amount matters less. What matters more is whether the damage is obviously simple.
If the other party caused the accident, their liability insurance usually pays the costs in full. This applies to the Zirndorf core town as well as to a commercial area. With very small damage, a report is often not worth it. We clarify this beforehand by phone.
Nothing. The initial assessment by phone is a free initial assessment. It does not obligate you to anything. This applies to parking damage at the FunPark as well as to contact damage in the Zirndorf city center.
Review and payment usually take four to six weeks. If the settlement takes longer or the insurer reduces the payment a lot, this is a case for a lawyer.
Yes. This applies to your vehicle anywhere in the town, to the core town at the market square as well as to the commercial areas in the south.
An appointment is often free on the same day, otherwise on the next working day. This applies to the core town and the commercial area equally. A normal damage case needs 30 to 45 minutes for the on-site inspection. The finished report usually follows one day later.
Better not. Once the repair is done, the extent of the damage is hard to prove, for example after a bump in the FunPark parking lot or contact damage at the market square. Call us before the repair shop starts. An appointment in Zirndorf can usually be found at short notice.
Bring your vehicle registration certificate (Fahrzeugschein) and your contact details. If you already have a file number from the insurer or the police, bring it too. If the vehicle belongs to a business in Zirndorf, it is enough to also have a contact person on site. We clarify everything else there.
None directly. The report goes only to the insurer and the repair shop. The registration office does not receive it. It becomes important only after a total loss, for example to deregister a vehicle or to register a replacement vehicle.
In an accident that was not your fault, yes, no matter where the vehicle is, in the Zirndorf core town or in a commercial area. Suggestions from the repair shop and the other party's insurer are not binding. They are not a requirement. For a claim under your own vehicle insurance, however, your own insurer hires the expert.
No, Zirndorf is independent. The town is the county seat of the Fürth district and has its own town hall with its own administration.
Yes. This applies to company vehicles and commercially used vehicles as well as to private cars. We inspect them directly on the company site.
About five kilometers in a straight line, a little more by road. This has no effect on the inspection. We come to your vehicle.
You reach the independent vehicle expert directly by phone. There is no call center in between. The first assessment of your case costs nothing. It creates no obligation.
