Since we specialize in diminished value and total loss auto appraisals, the cost of our service is proportional to the time and effort required to exercise our expert opinion. Never hire an appraiser that works on a contingency basis or a percentage, every appraiser should have a published fair and exact fee schedule. Beware of appraisers who quote you inflated or unrealistic Diminished Value amounts.

Inherent Diminished Value:
By simply being involved in an accident, your vehicle loses resale value and potential buyers will eliminate it from their shopping list. In the same fashion a criminal record will affect a person’s ability to find employment, your vehicle’s history report will directly influence the buyer’s opinion and their respective offer. In addition to this, a damaged and repaired vehicle is never the same as an undamaged vehicle. Most claims fall under this category.
Repair Related Diminished Value:
This occurs when your vehicle is not repaired properly and the body shop exhausts all means of rectifying the problem. If this is the case, a physical inspection is mandatory to estimate a monetary compensation for poorly repaired items. Please click here for more details.
