Diminished Value Appraisals

When you have been involved in an accident and your vehicle has been repaired—even back to its pre-accident conditions—your vehicle has a diminished value.

A diminished value appraisal will provide you with a report of the difference in market value of the vehicle before and after the accident and repairs. 

Simply put, thousands of dollars are at stake. An accurate, third-party diminished value report can give you the evidence you need to help you recoup the lost value of your vehicle when filing a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance company.

An auto accident and subsequent repairs can be stressful enough. Let East Coast Auto Appraisers ease your mind by providing you with an accurate, third-party diminished value report that you can use to help recover lost market value from the at-fault insurance company.

Dave L.
Cumberland, MD

INCIDENT
2010 Dodge Challenger struck while driving. Thorough repair by body shop.

INSURANCE
Covered repairs for $5,000. There were some new issues with the car and it was decided to trade. After the accident, the value of the car plummeted and the trade did not come close to the loan payoff. The insurance company said it had done all it could to help.

EAST COAST ACTION
Several appraisers I contacted said it wasn’t worth getting a diminished value appraisal. Then I called East Coast and Jason came to my house and did a thorough appraisal.

RESULT
The insurance company paid me an additional $2,750, allowing me to complete the pay off and trade on a newer car.

CLIENT REPORT
When other companies wouldn’t come through, East Coast
Auto Appraisers did. Thank you for a job well done!
