"100% recommend! David was easy to work with, upfront with costs and expectations, and prompt with a resolution. We went from a $7400 Total Loss offer to $9,960 payout! This is the resource the insurance agency doesn’t want you to know about!"
— Megan C.
"David was awesome. He was very attentive, knowledgeable, and uplifting throughout the whole experience! After my accident, my truck was totaled, and my insurance tried to lowball me by leaving multiple items off during the valuation and picking bad comparison vehicles. David fixed all of that and was able to raise my claim payment by thousands! Hiring him was totally worth it in my opinion."
2021 BMW 840i Diminished Value Corrected to $10,000
A customer’s 2021 BMW 840i was involved in an accident that resulted in roughly $11,000 in repairs. Once the vehicle was fixed, the next question was the one most drivers in Athens eventually face after a higher end repair: what did the accident history do to the vehicle’s market value?
The insurance company initially offered $4,000 for diminished value. The customer knew that number did not reflect what a late model BMW can lose after a documented collision, especially when the repair scope is significant enough to raise buyer concerns, dealership trade-in scrutiny, and resale pushback.
Collision Safety Consultants of Central Georgia stepped in to document the real market impact. We reviewed the repair scope, the type of loss, and the factors that affect how the vehicle is perceived and priced after an accident. The claim moved into the appraisal process, and after back and forth review, the diminished value was corrected to $10,000.
That adjustment put an additional $6,000 back in the customer’s pocket and served as a reminder that a low first offer does not have to be the final outcome when the documentation supports a different number.
Have these items ready and we can move quickly: your claim number, vehicle VIN, photos, repair estimate or final invoice, the insurer’s total loss valuation report if applicable, and any communication showing the current offer. Call or text, or send a message to get started.
