The value beyond the repair

A repair restores your car.
What about its value?

A vehicle can be properly repaired and still be worth less because of its accident history. That potential difference in market value is called inherent diminished value.

Our independent appraisal documents an opinion of that loss, giving you a clear, evidence-based starting point for your claim.

What is diminished value?

Inherent diminished value is the potential reduction in a vehicle’s market value that remains after proper collision repairs because of its accident history.

Does an appraisal guarantee an insurance payment?

No. An appraisal is an independent opinion of value. Eligibility, recoverability, claim procedures, and outcomes depend on your state, insurance coverage, and individual circumstances.

What does the $389 fee include?

The service includes an independent assessment, a professional written report, an initial demand letter template, and assistance with insurer responses and negotiation or escalation where applicable, subject to the service terms.

What documents should I have ready?

Available repair estimates, final itemized repair invoices, and photographs are useful. Have your VIN, mileage, accident date, and claim information ready as well. Ownership documentation may be requested when needed.

Will insurance reimburse the appraisal fee?

Reimbursement is not guaranteed. The fee may be included in your demand, but whether it is recoverable depends on the circumstances of the claim.

Can you appraise classic or modified vehicles?

Yes. Classic and collector appraisals start at $299, with final pricing subject to scope confirmation. Standard market-value, modified, and specialty appraisals are quoted individually.
