TOTAL LOSS OFFERS
The insurer’s number is not yours
The settlement figure your insurer sent came out of valuation software. You are entitled to an independent number. We build a certified actual cash value from Washington comparable sales, documented condition and every option and upgrade actually fitted to the vehicle.
DIMINISHED VALUE
Repaired is not the same as unhit
A properly repaired vehicle still carries an accident record, and in a market where buyers research everything, that costs real money at resale. A diminished value appraisal measures the gap between pre accident value and current value, and documents it.
WEST SIDE, EAST SIDE
One state, two vehicle markets
A crew cab in Bellevue and the same truck in Yakima do not sell for the same money, and an insurer’s software may not care which one you own. We comp your vehicle to the Washington market it actually trades in. That gap is often the whole dispute.
WHY Washington OWNERS CHOOSE US
Expensive to replace, hard to comp, easy to lowball
Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, Kent, Everett, Tacoma and Federal Way run heavy commuter traffic and a used market where late model trucks, crossovers and electric vehicles hold high numbers. Vancouver trades with the Portland market next door. Spokane and Yakima are a different state entirely, with more work trucks, longer highway miles and their own comparable sales.
Rain, mountain passes and long weekend drives also mean Washington vehicles carry gear: racks, tires, tow setups and campers that no valuation program credits. We document the vehicle, comp it in the market it actually trades in, and deliver a certified report for a claim, a court file or an estate. Remote, photo guided, flat priced up front.
