Diminished Value Appraisal

Even after a proper repair, a vehicle with accident history is typically worth less than an equivalent vehicle that was never in a collision — buyers pay less for a car with a reported accident on its history, full stop. This gap is called diminished value, and it can come from the accident stigma itself, or from the quality of the repair.

Get Appraisal prepares independent, documented diminished value reports comparing your vehicle's estimated pre-accident value to its current post-repair value — evidence you can use when discussing your situation with your insurer or broker.

When you need this appraisal

• Your vehicle was repaired after an accident and you want to document the value it lost.
• You're disputing a total-loss settlement offer that you believe undervalues your pre-accident vehicle.
• You're planning to sell or trade a previously-repaired vehicle and want a defensible, documented value.
• Your accident or claim involves an out-of-province insurer, an uninsured/underinsured motorist situation, or other circumstances where value documentation may support your case.

What's included

• Estimated pre-accident market value based on comparable vehicles
• Post-repair value assessment based on current condition, photos, and repair records
• A documented methodology explaining how the diminished value figure was reached
• A written report suitable for sharing with your insurer, broker, or legal counsel
