Diminished Value is the difference in market value, of a vehicle, pre and post accident. Regardless of the vehicle being repaired to industry standards, the resale value has diminished due to stigmas associated with loss.
We recommend a free pre-consultation for any of our services to determine which service best suits your situation.
Once the appropriate service is determined we create a customized report with your vehicle’s information.
It is our company policy to provide additional support within reason; however, we do not guarantee or warranty a specific outcome.
We will refer to an auto body repair report (Diminished Value & Total Loss Only) and/or will require certain information depending on the service selected.
