How much does a report cost?

Diminished value reports cost $299. Total loss appraisals are $449.

How long does the process take?

Most reports are completed within 2 business days after we receive the required documentation.

Do you work nationwide?

Yes. We provide vehicle valuation services for clients throughout the United States.

What information do I need to get started?

We’ll typically need your VIN, photos, and claim information. Once you begin, we’ll let you know exactly what documentation is needed.

Which service is right for my claim?

The right service depends on your situation. If your vehicle was repaired after an accident and lost market value, you may need a diminished value report. If your vehicle was declared a total loss and you disagree with the insurance company’s valuation, a total loss appraisal or appraisal clause service may be appropriate. We also provide independent valuations for specialty vehicles and unique claims. If you’re unsure which service you need, contact us and we’ll review your situation and recommend the best option.

Will my insurance company accept your report?

Our reports are designed to withstand scrutiny through transparent methodology and documented market evidence. They have been submitted to insurance companies, attorneys, independent appraisers, and the courts nationwide. See the list of Insurance Companies we have worked with in the past.

How We Can Help

Every claim is different, but they all have one thing in common: you need an accurate valuation backed by evidence.

Whether you’re pursuing diminished value, challenging a total loss offer, invoking your appraisal clause, or valuing a motorcycle, RV, or commercial vehicle, Premier provides independent, market-based appraisals supported by real-world sales data.

Every assignment is prepared by an ASCAA Certified Appraiser using nationally recognized USPAP appraisal standards. Before you purchase a report, we review your file to determine whether the available evidence supports a measurable loss in value or a reasonable basis to challenge your insurer’s valuation.

Our job is to determine what your vehicle is worth and provide the evidence to support it. You’ll receive an independent appraisal along with clear guidance on how to present your valuation to the insurance company.

Learn how the process works in our Claims Guides or explore your state’s laws and insurance information in our State Guides.

A Simple, Transparent Process

How It Works

Getting started is straightforward. We’ll guide you through every step and keep you informed from beginning to end.

We review your vehicle, claim details, repair documentation, mileage, equipment, and other factors that may affect its market value.

We research comparable vehicles in the market to establish the data needed to evaluate your diminished value or total loss claim.

Comparable vehicles are analyzed and adjusted for relevant differences to create a consistent, supportable market comparison.

Your completed valuation report presents our findings, methodology, comparable vehicles, adjustments, and supporting market evidence.

A Better Way to Value Vehicles After an Accident

At Premier Vehicle Valuation Specialists, every diminished value report and total loss appraisal is prepared by an ASCAA Certified Appraiser using the Premier Market Comparison Method (PMCM), verified comparable market data, and accepted appraisal standards.

Unlike generic diminished value calculators and predetermined formulas, our reports are supported by verified comparable vehicles and real-world market data.

We let the real market determine your vehicle’s value.
