What we can do for you

Diminished Value in Seattle, WA

ChatGPT said:

In Washington, drivers can file diminished value claims if their vehicle loses value after an accident — even after professional repairs. At Total Loss NW, we offer Seattle diminished value appraisals to help you recover that lost value.

Even with quality repairs, a car’s accident history lowers its resale price. Many Seattle buyers hesitate to pay full value for a vehicle with a collision record. That drop in market value is your diminished value, and you have the right to claim it.

What we can do for you

Seattle Total Loss Experts

If your vehicle was declared a total loss and your insurance payout seems too low, you have the right to dispute the offer. Most drivers in Seattle don’t realize their policy includes an appraisal clause, allowing them to hire an independent appraiser to determine their car’s true market value.

At Total Loss NW, we represent Seattle drivers through the total loss appraisal clause process, ensuring you get a fair and accurate settlement for your vehicle.

Our licensed appraisers provide accurate total loss valuations for cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles nationwide. Most reports are delivered within 2 weeks, helping clients recover $4,000–$6,000 more than the insurer’s last offer.

With a flat $550 upfront fee and USPAP-compliant reports, our services are transparent, reliable, and recognized across the U.S. We handle all vehicles, including classic, luxury, and modified cars, ensuring you get the maximum settlement possible.

Desk Appraisal

If the claim review shows your vehicle is worth more than the insurer’s offer, order a flat-rate $550 desk appraisal. Payment is collected upfront, with no percentages or hidden fees.

Field Appraisal

For classic, specialty, antique, or uniquely equipped vehicles, a field inspection ensures all options and accessories are properly valued.

Fair Payout

In some cases, we negotiate directly with the insurer if they assign their own appraiser, ensuring you receive a fair settlement.

What Is Total Loss Appraisal

A Total Loss Appraisal is the process of determining the true market value of a vehicle that has been declared a total loss by an insurance company.

When a car is badly damaged and the repair cost exceeds its value, the insurer may label it a total loss. In that case, a total loss appraisal provides an independent, professional valuation of what the vehicle was worth just before the accident.

This appraisal is often used to dispute low insurance offers and ensure the vehicle owner receives a fair and accurate settlement.

Our Work Process

Our streamlined process makes it easy to get the appraisal you need—quickly and confidently. From free assessment to final report, we guide you every step of the way.

Free Claim Review

Start by requesting a Free Claim Review. I’ll evaluate the insurance company’s valuation and let you know whether the offer appears fair or if your vehicle is likely being undervalued. Most reviews are completed within just a few hours.

Invoke the Appraisal Clause

If the insurer’s valuation appears too low, I may recommend invoking the appraisal clause in your policy. If you choose to proceed, I’ll provide a formal Letter of Representation along with clear, step-by-step instructions on what to do next.

Full Appraisal & Representation

Once the appraisal clause is invoked, I take over completely. I will prepare a USPAP-compliant report, communicate with the insurer’s appraiser, negotiate for a fair valuation, coordinate the umpire process if needed, and keep you updated. My mission is to secure the strongest possible settlement for you.

Pricing

Flat fee of $550, covering the full USPAP appraisal, all representation and negotiation, communication with the insurer’s appraiser, and umpire coordination if required. No percentage fees, hidden costs, or surprises.

No-Risk Guarantee

If I take your case and the appraisal clause process does not increase your settlement by at least $1,000, I will issue a full refund of the $550 fee. This ensures zero financial risk in hiring Total Loss NW.

Timeline

Most cases are completed within 1–3 weeks. Once both appraisers connect, the process usually moves quickly, and needing an umpire is uncommon.
