What is Diminished Value?

Diminished Value (DV) is the loss in market value that occurs when a vehicle is wrecked and repaired. A reasonable consumer will not pay the same price for a wrecked, then repaired vehicle. Even if the repairs were done well, the vehicle will still lose value.

Total Loss Appraisals

When your car, light truck or SUV is determined to be a total loss, it is not unusual that the insurance company may make you an initial low ball offer that is below the actual fair market value of your vehicle. A total loss appraisal helps you recover the fair market value of your vehicle.
