TOTAL LOSS OFFERS
The software number is not final
Your insurer’s total loss figure came out of valuation software fed by regional averages. You are entitled to your own opinion of value. We build a certified actual cash value report on your specific Colorado vehicle: its trim, its options, its condition and its mileage.
DIMINISHED VALUE
Repaired still reads as wrecked
A clean repair does not erase the accident from the vehicle history report, and Colorado buyers price that history in. A diminished value appraisal documents the gap between what your car was worth before the wreck and what it is worth after it.
HAIL AND HIGH COUNTRY
Values the national tables miss
Summer hail hits the Front Range every year, and mountain trucks, campers and lifted rigs trade in a market that national valuation tools barely sample. We comp those vehicles against real Colorado sales instead of a generic national average built somewhere flat.
WHY Colorado OWNERS CHOOSE US
A market shaped by altitude, weather and mileage.
Colorado vehicles live hard. Front Range commuters stack highway miles between Fort Collins and Pueblo, mountain rigs run winter passes on studded tires and a lift kit, and summer hail lands on Denver, Aurora and Greeley with depressing regularity. That mix shows up in valuations: national tables read a four wheel drive pickup or a hail dimpled wagon as ordinary inventory, and Colorado buyers do not.
So we comp to the market your vehicle actually sells in. Every report is built remotely from guided photos, your paperwork and Colorado sales data, then delivered as a certified appraisal you can hand to an adjuster, an attorney or an executor.

FAQS
FAQs about vehicle appraisals in Colorado
Do bankruptcy courts require a professional appraisal?
[faq-start]
- What does a Colorado appraisal cost?
- Is the appraisal done in person?
- The insurer already sent a total loss offer. Am I too late?
- My car was repaired after hail damage. Is it worth less now?
- Do you appraise classics and work fleets?
- Appraisals start at $250 flat. Total loss and diminished value reports are $300. Divorce, bankruptcy, classic car, estate and fleet appraisals are $250, with bulk pricing on fleets. You get the number before you book.
- No. Outside Texas every appraisal is remote. You shoot a guided photo set on your phone, send us your paperwork, and we build the report from there. Most reports are delivered inside 24-48 hours.
- Usually not. Send us the offer and the carrier’s valuation report before you sign a release. Most policies contain an appraisal clause that gives an independent certified value formal standing in a dispute.
- Very likely. A repaired car carries an accident record that follows it into every future sale, and a diminished value appraisal puts a documented number on that loss for the at fault carrier.
- Both. Classic and collector appraisals are $250, and fleet work is $250 per unit with bulk discounts. Call 281-709-3436 or email dewayne@lonestarautoappraisal.com and we will scope it on the spot.
