Have you been in an auto accident where the other driver was at fault and you weren’t?
If you have, You’ve suffered Diminished Value.
The at-fault driver’s insurance company owes you for your Loss of resale value, not just the repairs. DV Appraisal provides the Proof of your loss of value and the documentation you need to recover your loss of resale value.
Out of no fault of your own, you’ve lost thousands of dollars in resale value. If the person who hit you took $1,000 from you it would be considered theft and you would have a right to recover your money. But, due to the way the law was written nearly a century ago, you could now lose that same thousand dollars in resale value, and insurance companies pretend they don’t owe you that . We call this “Friendly Fraud” or Diminished Value.
What is Diminished Value? At no-fault of your own, your vehicle is now worth thousands less even if it’s been repaired to what they called pre-loss condition. It may not feel or drive like it did before. Even if they did return it to 100% pre-loss condition, your car or truck now has a damage history and may be branded for life with a negative Carfax® or AutoCheck® Report reducing the value of your vehicle.
That’s not fair. In a perfect world, the insurance company would just replace your car. But, the world isn’t fair and insurance companies only care about their bottom line. DVAA’s Loss Value Appraisal provides the credible proof and documentation you need to recover your loss of resale value, also known as “Diminished Value”.

Why Choose Diminished Value Auto Appraisers?
Credible Automotive Experience
Your DVAA appraiser will have a minimum of 10 years of automotive dealership experience evaluating the overall value of vehicles. Be aware, many online DV appraisal companies are run by ex-body shop repair estimators or ex-insurance reps with no previous experience evaluating the overall value of a vehicle.
Government Certified Appraiser
When Hiring an Auto Appraiser, make sure they are certified by a U.S. Government Entity. Otherwise, the appraisal may not be considered credible. We are government certified and licensed auto appraisers. #V34-075
Credible Valuations
Some appraisal companies inflate their valuations in an effort to entice you to use them because they have the largest value. Largest doesn’t mean you’ll settle for more, normally it’s the opposite. Most insurance companies have figured out who provides credible appraisals that follow known appraisal standards, and who provide inflated values that are picked out of the air.
USPAP STANDARDS
Many Diminished Value sites claim to be USPAP complient, but most don’t even follow the basics. U.S.P.A.P. stands for the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. This is the most widely recognized Appraisal standards and is what makes our appraisals credible.
BRICK AND MORTAR LOCATION
DVAA has a real long term physical location. Not a UPS office, Post Office, Residence or Vacant lot that many fly by night online apprasail companies rely on. Many online Diminished Value Companies are actually located at a UPS Store, Vacant Lot or Closed Car Wash.
