Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a diminished value appraisal cost in Austin, Texas?

Our fee is 33% of the diminished value recovery. If we recover $5,000, we keep $1,650 and you get $3,350. If we don't recover anything, you pay nothing.

How long does it take to get paid?

Most diminished value claims settle within 30-90 days. Complex cases or disputes may take longer, but we handle all negotiations.

Can I claim diminished value if I was at fault?

No. Diminished value is only recoverable from the at-fault driver's insurance company. If you were at fault, your own insurance won't pay DV.

Does my vehicle qualify for diminished value?

Generally, vehicles under 10 years old with under 100k miles and clean title before the accident qualify. Luxury, near-new, and high-value vehicles see the biggest diminished value losses.

What if the insurance company denies my claim?

We negotiate on your behalf. If they refuse a fair settlement, we can refer you to our legal partners at Victory Legal Solutions for litigation.
