No upfront cost diminished value claim. (Contingency basis)

You can pay us after you collect your settlement, we are in the business of helping you collect your diminished value claim, not in the business of selling you a diminished value report!

You have concluded that you have a diminished value claim and now you want to collect what you are owed. How do you do that? The insurance company will tell you “the burden of proof of your DV claim is on you and we are not obligated to tell you  what the “proof” is”.

You may be able to get a buy offer from Carvana or CarMax and then make a case that the car “should be worth more, they are adjusting their offer for the accident history” but invariably the insurance company will tell you the lower offers are due to “market fluctuations or economic conditions” and they don’t establish diminished value.

  They may tell you that you need to get a diminished value report. There are lots of diminished value report providers up and down the page. What different types of reports and service do they offer?

There are many “formula 17c” type math based diminished value companies that do “computer generated” DV reports. Yes, everyone writes the diminished value report on the computer, a “computer generated” DV report is written largely by the computer. They have developed software that can take the vehicle VIN, miles and options list, factor in the accident details, and “generate” a diminished value report. The insurance companies give these types of reports little credibility.

The real issue is this, even if the diminished value company does the report with a math formula, what really matters to you is will they help you collect? Some will tell you they will handle the claim directly with the insurance company and that is not the case. The insurance company is not obligated to deal with the diminished value appraiser you select and therefore they will not. The insurance company is going to deal with you directly because they think it will be easier to push you around.

You are going to need help and unfortunately a lot of diminution in value vendors are simply not going to provide it, they are “grab the fee and flee” operators. You pay and when you submit the report to the insurance and encounter push back you are no longer able to reach the DV company on the phone or email. So get us to help you and….

Pay us after you collect. Don’t pay hundreds of dollars for a diminished value report that you don’t know is going to work. No risk – if you don’t collect you don’t pay! No need for a shady “guarantee”. 

 Lucky for you there is an easy way to sort all this out, reviews. Simply check reviews (and look online for complaints also, BBB and so forth). Sun Auto Appraisers has 400+ 5 star reviews (on the Home page or search Google for “Sun Auto Appraisers reviews) because we provide an actual service.

  We write you a diminished value report that is based on common sense. Our report demonstrates clearly that  your car lost a significant amount of value due to the negligence of the at fault driver. The report is based on a two step process involving  guidebook values and comps that establish the value of the vehicle just prior to the accident as well as it’s current value having accident history, the “bad Carfax”. Our reports produce results, if they did not we would have to charge big up front fees like everybody else.

  Here is the best part, we will help you. If the insurance company is difficult we will show you how to respond in a manner that results in you getting paid.

If you are wondering how much your diminished value settlement should be simply ask us. Call 863-852-6315 or email the repair estimate to sunautoappraisers@aol.com and we will give you a free diminished value estimate right now.
