A desk appraisal or an assessment applies when we are NOT physically inspecting your vehicle. An assessment is based on relevant facts and data provided by the client to the appraiser but do not account for any repair related issues or concerns. Since the burden of proof is proportional to the loss amount, Desk Appraisals are offered if:

• It’s a Third party Diminished Value claim with relatively low payout, ($2,000 or less).
• The vehicle is NOT available for a physical inspection
• The repair amount is relatively low
• If you live out of State

Please Note:

- If the insurance company demands a physical inspection, then a full appraisal is required, please select the $225 Diminished Value appraisal option above.
- The amount paid for the assessment shall apply towards the full appraisal if an inspection is executed at a later date.

TOTAL LOSS- AUTO

Please visit our dedicated total loss Website:

An appraisal is a judgment  of an item’s actual value . Experience, education and honesty are essential traits every appraiser should have.

Since we specialize in diminished value and total loss auto appraisals, the cost of our service is proportional to the time and effort required to exercise our expert opinion. Never hire an appraiser that works on a contingency basis or a percentage, every appraiser should have a published fair and exact fee schedule. Beware of appraisers who quote you inflated or unrealistic Diminished Value amounts.

Inherent Diminished Value:

By simply being involved in an accident, your vehicle loses resale value and potential buyers will eliminate it from their shopping list. In the same fashion a criminal record will affect a person’s ability to find employment, your vehicle’s history report will directly influence the buyer’s opinion and their respective offer. In addition to this, a damaged and repaired vehicle is never the same as an undamaged vehicle. Most claims fall under this category.

Repair Related Diminished Value:

This occurs when your vehicle is not repaired properly and the body shop exhausts all means of rectifying the problem. If this is the case, a physical inspection is mandatory to estimate a monetary compensation for poorly repaired items. Please click here for more details.
