Diminished value claim documentation
Your car was repaired.
Its value may not have been.
A repaired accident can permanently reduce what buyers and dealers will pay. We quantify that loss and prepare a professional claim package you review and send yourself.
- No account needed
- Estimate is free
- About 2 minutes
- 30-day refund policy
Built to be checked, not believed
Each of these is a product fact you can open and verify on the methodology, pricing, and legal pages.
No account needed
See your estimate without an email, password, or sign-in.
Free estimate first
You see your range and the factors behind it before any payment.
No cut of recovery
Flat published price. Whatever you recover is yours.
Method published
The calculation is deterministic and published in full.
Private documents
Uploads stay in private storage and are never publicly linkable.
30-day refund policy
One-time package. The refund terms are written down, not implied.
How diminished value works
Three steps. You stay in control.
This is a self-help documentation product. You review every figure and you send your own correspondence.
01
Tell us about your vehicle and accident
Eight questions. No account and no email before the result.
State, fault, timing, vehicle, and repair.
02
We calculate and document the loss
A transparent range, the factors behind it, and a documented ask.
Every number comes from a published calculation, not from a model.
03
Submit your claim package to the insurer
You send the report and letter yourself. We never contact the insurer.
One-time $89. No percentage of recovery.
Why this exists
Repairs restore the car. They do not erase the record.
Buyers and dealers price a documented accident. The gap between a clean-history vehicle and the same vehicle after a repair is what a diminished value claim documents.
Two identical vehicles, two different prices
Illustrative- Comparable vehicle, clean history
- $30,000
- Same vehicle, repaired accident on record
- $26,500
- Potential diminished value
- $3,500
Illustrative figures chosen to show the idea, not an estimate for any specific vehicle. The size of the gap depends on the vehicle, the severity of the documented repair, mileage, and what comparable vehicles are actually selling for in your market.
What you receive
A claim package an adjuster can read.
You are buying a valuation report, a demand letter, and structured follow-up — not a paragraph of generated text.
Valuation report
Vehicle, repair, documented range, every calculation step, and the 17c comparison.
Demand letter
Word
A factual letter to the property-damage adjuster. You review it and send it yourself.
Evidence worksheet
Included
Checklist and comparable-vehicle worksheet so the file is organised, not a pile of PDFs.
Follow-up kit
Word
What to do if they stall, quote a formula, or send a low offer.
Every document is generated from your confirmed facts and reviewed state content. View sample report.
Escalation kit
If the first demand is rejected, the next step should already be written.
The higher package is for that moment: a rebuttal, a complaint outline, and a small-claims outline, organised as a dispute toolkit rather than extra files.
Rejection rebuttal letter
A factual reply if they quote a formula or send a low offer.
Department of Insurance complaint outline
What to include, and what not to claim, if you file a complaint.
Small-claims filing outline
A structured next step if correspondence stalls.
Follow-up letters
If they do not answer, or answer incompletely.
Pricing
One-time packages. No percentage of recovery.

How this compares
A documented estimate sits between a free calculator and a signed inspection.
A physical inspection may be more appropriate for complex or high-value claims. We say so when your answers suggest it.

FAQ
Straight answers before you start.
Do I need an account to see my estimate?
No. You see the number before paying anything. After a purchase we email a magic link to your documents.
What does the paid package cost?
Two one-time options: Claim packet $89 and Claim packet + Escalation kit $129. We never take a percentage of recovery.
Is this legal advice or a promise of payment?
No. It is an informational estimate and a self-help documentation package. You review and send any letter yourself. Insurers may dispute or deny claims.
What if the insurer rejects the first demand?
The Escalation kit adds a rebuttal letter, a complaint outline, and a small-claims outline so the next step is structured. You still send everything yourself.
