Diminished Value Appraisals
Professional Valuations. Exceptional Outcomes.
Recover the Lost Resale Value After an Accident!
Even after a vehicle has been flawlessly repaired following a collision, its historical market value drops simply because it now has an accident on its Carfax or vehicle history report. This permanent loss in resale value is known as Diminished Value. At KMC Auto Claims, our Diminished Value Appraisals accurately calculate and document this financial loss so you can recover it directly from the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
Insurance carriers often use outdated formulas (such as the infamous “17c formula”) to minimize or deny inherent diminished value claims. We counter their automated lowball math with detailed, real-world market assessments, proving exactly how much equity your vehicle lost the moment it was damaged.
You May Be Entitled to a Diminished Value Check
Was your car just repaired after an accident? Insurance companies don’t want you to know that you are often entitled to a check for the diminished value even if your vehicle was repaired. Filing a diminished value claim can be painless if you work with a professional that knows the ropes. We routinely get customers thousands of dollars owed to them after a claim.
