What this service will cover
After a repair, a vehicle with an accident history is worth less than one without — that gap is diminished value, and it's often recoverable. For a total loss, carriers frequently undervalue the vehicle. This service is being built to produce an independent, documented opinion clients can submit to support a claim.
In the meantime, if you have an urgent diminished value or total-loss situation, call and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help yet or point you elsewhere.

The appraisal clause
Many policies contain an appraisal clause for resolving valuation disputes. An independent appraisal is the instrument that process runs on — building this service to that standard is the goal.
Frequently asked questions
