Standard Auto Diminished Value Report

Description

Specialized Claims Synergy provides an independent, professional diminished value evaluation for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light trucks. Each assignment is reviewed using our proprietary SCS-MIDM™ methodology, which considers the vehicle’s pre-loss market position, repair severity, structural and safety-system involvement, repair burden, accident-history disclosure impact, age, mileage, and available market evidence.

This service includes a complete vehicle-specific analysis and a professionally prepared written diminished value report designed to explain how the final opinion was developed. The report is intended for use by vehicle owners, insurance carriers, claims professionals, attorneys, TPAs, and other parties who need a documented third-party evaluation rather than a generic calculator or unsupported percentage.

Initial Cost: $275

Pricing applies to ordinary passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks, and similar non-specialty vehicles. Unusually complex assignments, extensive additional research, litigation support, field inspections, specialty vehicles, or other services outside the standard scope may require additional fees. SCS will notify the client before performing additional billable work.

Payment of the applicable fee is required before the completed report or final deliverable is released.

What is included: review of submitted repair documentation, vehicle and loss information, diminished value analysis, market-based reasonableness review, and a written SCS report with the final opinion.

Important: The repair estimate and available supplements should be provided with the assignment. Final opinions are based on the documentation and market information available at the time of review and are professional appraisal opinions, not guarantees of a specific claim settlement or sale price.
