$199 Down / $299 Due After Insurance Offer
Comprehensive appraisal report combined with full claim representation with the insurance carrier to recover lost vehicle market value after an accident.
Invoked your own policy's Appraisal Clause after a lowball total loss offer? We serve as your appointed appraiser, determining your vehicle's Actual Cash Value (ACV) — the number your payout is based on — with a certified Fair Market Value report.
Official valuation reports required for probate courts, estate distribution, tax settlements, and asset division.
Certified appraisal documentation for financial institutions, credit unions, and private lenders verifying collateral worth.
IRS tax-compliant written appraisals for charitable vehicle donations exceeding federal standard thresholds.
Comprehensive, unbiased vehicle asset valuations tailored for marital dissolution settlements and court proceedings.
Even after a vehicle is repaired following an accident, its market value drops permanently simply because it now has a recorded damage history. When you sell or trade in your car, buyers will pay significantly less compared to an identical vehicle with a clean history. That lost financial value is known as Diminished Value.
At Estimate Consultants, we do not just hand you a report—we draft a formal, fully documented Diminished Value Appraisal and represent your claim directly on your behalf to recover exactly what we feel the vehicle is worth.
Fee structure: $199 Down to get started, with the remaining $299 due only after the insurance company delivers an offer. If our full fee ($498) is not covered in the resulting Diminished Value insurance offer, we guarantee a full refund of our $498 fee.
ASCAA Certified Vehicle Appraiser
Following over a decade working in, then managing high-volume paint and collision shop operations, Kevin transitioned into insurance field adjusting. While highly successful in the insurance estimate and appraisal field, Kevin quickly recognized that standard carrier protocols often left policyholders and repair facilities without a truly unbiased voice.
Driven to provide genuine integrity to automotive valuations, Kevin earned his professional certification as an ASCAA Appraiser and founded Estimate Consultants.
"A fair appraisal doesn't favor one party or the other, but you can rest easy knowing that every valuation we issue is thorough, documented, unbiased and complete."
