Why Elektrica appraisals?

Traditional appraisals take weeks or months and rely on one person's opinion. Our certified appraisers use AI-assisted tools to deliver accurate, data-backed reports in days, built on thousands of real transactions and settlements.

Real market data

Our appraisers pull from Manheim auction sales, JD Power analysis, and Black Book valuations, the same sources dealers and insurers use.

Settlement history database

AI tools match your claim against hundreds of prior settlements by damage type, vehicle model, mileage, and impact location, giving our appraisers a head start.

Days, not months

An AI-assisted workflow means our certified appraisers deliver complete, defensible reports in days, not the weeks or months you'd wait elsewhere.

LOPs accepted

We accept Letters of Protection from law firms for both appraisals and rentals, so a firm's clients can get their report without paying out of pocket.

“Jed and the team did an amazing job assisting us with both EV rental, car repair, and diminished value claims for an accident that we were in last year. Jed made sure to keep us in the loop the entire process.”

Daniel Perez3 weeks ago

Frequently asked questions

What is diminished value?
Diminished value is the difference between what your vehicle was worth before the accident and what it's worth after repairs. Even after a perfect repair, a vehicle with an accident history is worth less on the market. In Texas, you have the right to claim this loss from the at-fault party's insurance. Our certified Elektrica appraisers use AI-assisted tools to accurately calculate this loss.
How long does the process take?
Our certified appraisers deliver completed reports in days, not weeks or months, thanks to AI-assisted tools that speed up research and analysis. The full claim process after that typically takes a few weeks to a few months depending on the insurance company's response.
Do I need a lawyer?
Not always. Many diminished value claims settle with a certified appraisal and negotiation. If the insurance company denies your claim or refuses a fair settlement, you may wish to consult a Texas attorney about your options.
Can I get a rental car while my vehicle is being repaired?
Yes, rentals are booked on Elektrica Rentals at https://elektricarentals.com/tesla-rental-austin/.
Do you accept LOPs (Letters of Protection)?
Yes. We accept Letters of Protection from law firms for both diminished value appraisals and car rentals. This means a firm's clients can get their appraisal without paying out of pocket; payment comes from the settlement. If you're a law firm looking to partner, reach out and we'll get you set up.
What if my car was totaled?
We also do total loss appraisals. If your insurance company is undervaluing your totaled vehicle, our AI-powered assessment provides an accurate market valuation to help you negotiate a fair payout.
