DIMINISHED VALUE ASSESSMENTS
Your car is repaired.
Is its value?
An accident can leave a mark on your car’s market value—even after the repairs are complete. We help you understand what that loss could mean for you.
Tell us about your car. We’ll review the details and get back to you.
THE VALUE GAPExample

Different market value.
Potential diminished value$9,000
Example only. Your vehicle’s value depends on its history, condition, repairs, and market.
BEYOND THE REPAIR BILL
Fixing the damage
doesn’t always restore the value.
Diminished value is the difference between your car’s market value before an accident and its market value after repairs.
A buyer may pay less for a vehicle with an accident history than for a comparable vehicle without one. That difference is separate from the cost of fixing your car. We help you seek compensation for that lost value from the insurance company.

GOOD TO KNOW
A few common questions.
Can I claim diminished value if the accident wasn’t my fault?
Usually, yes. You may be able to seek compensation from the at-fault party’s insurer. Eligibility depends on your state, the facts of the accident, and applicable coverage. Payment is not automatic.
Does a repair payment include lost resale value?
A repair payment and diminished value address different losses. Receiving payment for repairs does not by itself establish that diminished value has been paid.
What should I have ready?
Your vehicle year, make, model, mileage, accident date, and repair status. Repair estimates, invoices, photos, and claim information may be helpful later; you don’t need to upload them for this first inquiry.
Will submitting this form commit me to a service?
No. This is an inquiry so we can review your situation and explain what we can offer. Any service scope and fees will be discussed before you decide to proceed.
