That should eliminate quite a few... shouldn't take more than a cursory inspection of the cars to eliminate a lot more. Your average estimator is a lot brighter than most people realize - like cops, they have lots of experience, have seen it all, and have heard all the excuses twice.
You'd be amazed some of the shit people try to put over on them. Was talking to one once, said a guy tried to claim he came out to his car and found a bunch of damage from someone ramming a shopping cart into it... yeah, except the damage also had clearly visible concrete powder in the gouges, from scraping it across something like a light-pole base or jersey barrier or other stationary heavy object. Estimator called him on it on-the-spot and the guy fessed up.
