Gather documents
Keep the repair estimate, invoice, photos and vehicle history information.
VEHICLE VALUE
Understand value after a collision.
Even after a repair, accident history can affect resale value. The right documentation is the starting point.
THE SERVICE
What this work involves.
A diminished value question depends on the accident, the repair and the vehicle's market value. The shop's existing site discusses assessments and post-repair inspections as possible inputs.
HOW WE APPROACH IT
Three clear steps.
Review the vehicle
Ask about a post-repair inspection and what information it can provide.
Discuss the claim
Use the findings when speaking with the appropriate insurer or a qualified claims professional.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions.
Every repair is different. An inspection gives the most useful answer for your car.
Is diminished value paid automatically?
No. Eligibility and amount depend on the facts, policy and applicable rules.
Can the shop decide my insurance claim?
No. The shop can discuss repair documentation; claim decisions belong to the insurer or other responsible party.
