Figures come from completed Premier files; total loss figures are pre-tax, pre-deductible actual cash values, and diminished value shown is Premier’s appraised figure. Results vary with the vehicle, the damage, and the market, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about diminished value claims, total loss appraisals, appraisal clauses, and our vehicle valuation services.
How much does a report cost?
Diminished value reports cost $299. Total loss appraisals are $449.
How long does the process take?
Most reports are completed within 2 business days after we receive the required documentation.
Do you work nationwide?

What information do I need to get started?
We’ll typically need your VIN, photos, and claim information. Once you begin, we’ll let you know exactly what documentation is needed.
Which service is right for my claim?
The right service depends on your situation. If your vehicle was repaired after an accident and lost market value, you may need a diminished value report. If your vehicle was declared a total loss and you disagree with the insurance company’s valuation, a total loss appraisal or appraisal clause service may be appropriate. We also provide independent valuations for specialty vehicles and unique claims.
If you’re unsure which service you need, contact us and we’ll review your situation and recommend the best option.
Will my insurance company accept your report?
Our reports are designed to withstand scrutiny through transparent methodology and documented market evidence. They have been submitted to insurance companies, attorneys, independent appraisers, and the courts nationwide. See the list of Insurance Companies we have worked with in the past.
