HOW IT WORKS
An accident history can affect what buyers and dealerships will pay, even after quality repairs. Find out whether an independent appraisal makes sense before you spend money.
UNDERSTAND THE LOSS
Imagine two comparable vehicles: the same year, model, trim, mileage, and condition. One has no reported accident history. The other received significant collision repairs. A buyer may value them differently.
Diminished value is the remaining loss in market value attributable to the accident after repairs. The amount depends on the vehicle, damage, repairs, and market evidence. Your repair invoice alone does not establish that loss.
BUILD YOUR EVIDENCE
South Florida Independent Auto Appraisers examines the available records, researches comparable vehicles, and explains the evidence supporting its conclusions. Your report presents:
We identify missing information and distinguish verified facts from assumptions. An appraiser reviews the evidence and makes the final valuation decision.
Your preliminary review is free. Submitting a request does not commit you to purchasing an appraisal.
Sofia, your intake assistant, guides you in English or Spanish. Tell us about your vehicle and accident, and share the documents you have.
An appraiser reviews your information and may request additional documents before recommending a paid appraisal.
If we recommend proceeding, you’ll receive a clear fee and service agreement to review before signing and paying.
We review the available vehicle and repair records, research comparable vehicles, and document material differences and the basis for adjustments. We consider the relevant valuation date and explain the sources, limitations, and assumptions used.
Repair estimates, final invoices, photographs, and claim information help your appraiser evaluate the case. Missing documents or unverified history may require further review.
Your report provides a documented valuation you can submit when pursuing diminished value from the responsible party or their insurer. It gives you evidence to support your position in a discussion or disputed claim.
An appraisal does not guarantee payment, a settlement amount, insurer acceptance, or a legal outcome. Coverage and available recovery depend on the circumstances. Contact us before ordering if you are unsure whether an appraisal would be useful.
