Diminished Value is the loss in a vehicle’s market value after it has been damaged in an accident and properly repaired.
Even when repairs restore the vehicle to its pre-accident condition, the accident history can negatively affect its resale or trade-in value.
Our independent Diminished Value appraisal documents this loss using vehicle-specific market data and comparable vehicles.
We then negotiate the diminished value claim with the at-fault insurance company on your behalf.

When your insurance company declares your vehicle a total loss, the settlement they offer is based on the vehicle’s Actual Cash Value (ACV).
If you believe their valuation is too low, an independent total loss appraisal can help determine the vehicle’s fair market value. We prepare an independent market valuation using comparable vehicles and recognized valuation data to establish a properly supported Actual Cash Value.
If your policy includes a Right to Appraisal provision, we can represent you and will work directly with the insurance company’s appraiser toward an agreed value.
