Diminished Value Appraisal

Even a perfect repair leaves a mark: a vehicle with an accident on its record is worth less. A diminished value appraisal documents that loss so you can recover it.

Overview

After a collision, your car may drive like new but carry a permanent hit to resale value simply because the damage is now on its history. That lost value is often recoverable — but only if you can document it.

Mike quantifies the diminished value with a clear, independent report you can submit to the at-fault party's insurer to support your claim.

When you need a vehicle appraisal

  • Your vehicle was in an accident that wasn't your fault
  • Repairs are complete but the car's value has dropped
  • An insurer denied or lowballed your diminished-value claim
  • You need documentation to support a demand or dispute

Questions

Frequently asked

It's the difference between what your vehicle was worth before an accident and its value afterward — a loss that persists even after quality repairs because the accident is on record.

Third-party diminished-value claims are recognized in Georgia when another driver is at fault. An independent appraisal documents the amount; this is not legal advice.
