Diminished Value Appraisal By A Licensed Auto Appraiser

Why Hire Ken Nix?

  1. Each Appraisal is prepared and signed by Ken, not a staff member.  (We may be a little more expensive than our competitors, because you get what you pay for. In most instances, the cost of your Diminished Value Appraisal is a recoverable part of your claim.)
  2. We only work for Consumers. Although we will perform 1 appraisal for an insurance company each year as we’re not biased. (for some reason, we never have any takers) Beware as many appraisers receive the majority of their business from Insurance Companies and are motivated to give you a low valuation on your vehicle.
  3. We use the professional paid version of Kelley Blue Book instead of the Free Online Version most Diminished Value “Appraisers” use.

    1. It enables us to request historic KBB data immediately, (need a value from 3 years ago, no problem, the free KBB.com doesn’t give you that option).
    2. The paid version provides auction data, certified pre-owned data, lending value, and Reasonable Market Value.
    3. Values Change weekly. Your claim could be worth hundreds or even thousands less if your loss happened in December 2012 and it’s now January 2013.
    4. More Accurate data and documentation increases your chances of a larger settlement.
  4. We perform a damage history report on each vehicle to show your vehicle’s previous history of no accidents.
  5. We perform a market sampling of similar vehicles in your used car market in determining your vehicle’s Retail Market Value.
  6. Each appraisal is developed by Ken, not a staff member. Because your appraisal is unique, it has more credibility with the insurance company and in Court if need be.
  7. Ken personally audits your Final Bill from the Body Shop to determine the type and amount of damage your vehicle suffered.
  8. Internationally known automotive expert & Founder of Volkswagen Owners Club which now has over 30,000 members worldwide.
  9. Ken has over 35 years experience in Sales and Negotiation and provides phone support when you purchase an appraisal, on negotiation tactics.
  10. Full Appraisals similar to the one below starting at only $149.00
