What Is Diminished Value?
Diminished Value for Washington Drivers
You did everything right — but your car’s value still paid the price.
You were hit out of nowhere, through no fault of your own.
The other driver’s insurance company repaired your car, and it looks great — flawless even. But months later, when you go to sell or trade it in, you discover something no one told you: your auto accident diminished value cost you thousands.
Or worse — maybe the insurer already paid you $500 in diminished value, only for you to learn later that the real loss was $5,000.
Don’t let that be your story.
Claim Complete Auto helps Washington drivers uncover their car’s actual value after repairs and recover what’s rightfully theirs through accurate diminished value appraisals and expert claim support.
- What Is a Diminished Value Appraisal? -
After your car is repaired, it often loses market value because of the repair itself. Even if the repairs were perfect — there are simply factors that cannot be replicated outside of the factory environment and changes in the molecular structure due to processes necessary to complete a repair. This unseen value drop is called Inherent Diminished Value, and insurance companies rarely bring it up. Yet, it’s a loss you’re entitled to recover.
- Why Diminished Value Matters -
A diminished value claim helps restore you financially to 'pre-loss' condition. Whether you plan to sell, trade, or keep your car, the diminished value caused by a loss affects your long-term equity. Knowing the accurate amount gives you leverage and ensures you don’t absorb hidden financial damage from an accident that wasn’t your fault.
