Get Your Free Estimate →Even after professional repairs, your vehicle is worth less than it was before the accident. This loss is called diminished value, and in Texas, you have the legal right to recover it from the at-fault driver's insurance company.
Elektrica Consulting provides IACP certified diminished value appraisals for Austin, Texas and surrounding areas. Our appraisers use AI-assisted analysis and industry-standard methodologies to determine the exact amount your vehicle has lost in market value.
Our appraisers hold International Automotive Appraisers Association certification — the gold standard recognized by insurance companies and courts.
We combine expert appraisal with AI analysis of real market data, comps, and historical sales to deliver reports insurance companies respect.
We only get paid when you do. Our fee is 33% of the diminished value recovery — if we don't win, you don't pay.
Most appraisals delivered in 3-5 business days, not weeks. We know time matters when you're dealing with insurance claims.

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.
Most diminished value claims settle within 30-90 days. Complex cases or disputes may take longer, but we handle all negotiations.
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.
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.
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.
We're not a national appraisal mill. We're local to Austin, Texas and we specialize in the Texas insurance market. We know how State Farm, GEICO, Allstate, Progressive, and USAA handle diminished value claims in Travis County. We know which body shops Austin drivers trust and what dealerships pay for trade-ins.
Our appraisers hold IACP certification — the same credential insurance company appraisers have. We speak their language and deliver reports they can't dismiss.
And we use AI-powered analysis to find market comps, analyze repair quality, and calculate fair diminished value faster than manual appraisers. That means you get paid faster.
