How much does a report cost?

Diminished value reports start at $299. Total loss appraisal pricing varies depending on the type of claim and services requested.

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.
