Frequently Asked Questions
What is the appraisal clause for a total loss in Georgia?
Many auto policies include an Appraisal Clause that lets you hire your own independent appraiser
when you disagree with the insurance company’s Total Loss value (ACV). Your appraiser and the
insurer’s appraiser attempt to agree on a value; if they cannot, an umpire may be used depending on the policy. Very rarely does it reach that level so no need to worry.
When should I use the appraisal clause for my totaled car in Savannah?
Use it when the insurer’s CCC One or Mitchell report seems low, uses weak comps,
misses options, misreads mileage/condition, or does not reflect the Coastal Georgia market. An independent
appraisal helps document a supported ACV.
What is included in a total loss appraisal (ACV) review?
We will check how off the initial value is with our data and give you our thoughts for free. We will be honest if it is worth going through the appraisal process.
What is a diminished value claim after repairs in Savannah?
Diminished Value is the reduction in market value that remains after a vehicle is repaired.
Buyers and dealers often pay less for an accident-history vehicle. A diminished value appraisal quantifies that
market impact for a claim review.
How fast can I get a total loss or diminished value appraisal in Savannah?
Most reports are delivered in about 24–48 hours after we receive the needed documents/photos and
vehicle information. Complex cases and high-end vehicles may take longer.
Are your appraisals accepted by insurers?
Our reports follow recognized valuation methodology and are formatted for insurance review, including appraisal
clause situations and diminished value documentation.

We are an independent car appraiser serving Savannah, Chatham County, and the greater Coastal Georgia area, specializing in diminished value claims and total loss car value disputes for Georgia vehicle owners.

Most reports are completed within 24 to 48 hours using verified comparables, confirmed options and condition, and dealer level pricing so your claim has the documentation it needs.
