When an accident goes on your vehicle's record, its market value drops — even after a perfect repair. Prevalu builds the appraisal report that documents exactly what you lost and what you're owed.
The moment an accident appears on your vehicle history, its resale value drops — permanently. Dealerships see the Carfax flag. Buyers offer less. And insurance companies are counting on you not to notice.
This gap between what your car was worth before the accident and what it's worth after is called diminished value. On a typical vehicle, it ranges from $2,000 to $15,000. On newer or premium vehicles, the loss is often much higher.
Most people never recover a dollar of it.
