The Real Impact of
an Accident

Even after professional repairs, an accident can permanently affect a vehicle’s market value. Buyers and dealerships often place a lower value on vehicles with an accident history, regardless of repair quality.

Our appraisal measures this loss using the vehicle’s condition, repair history, mileage, accident severity, and current market data to determine a supportable diminished value.

ACCIDENT HISTORY

A reported accident can permanently affect how buyers and dealers value your vehicle.

MARKET STIGMA

Even properly repaired vehicles may sell for less than comparable vehicles with a clean history.

MEASURABLE LOSS

We analyze real market data to document the difference in value.

Illustrative Example
$38,500
$34,200
Before Accident
After Repair
⚠️ Even after a complete, professional repair, this example vehicle lost an estimated $4,300 in market value.
