Amloss FAQ’s

What is Diminished value? And why is it important?

After a vehicle has been involved in an accident, the value of the vehicle drops due to having structural or mechanical damage. This drop in value is known as diminished value. This drop in value is usually associated with damaged cars having problems down the road, or not having the original parts that they came with from the factory. For example, a front-end Collision on a vehicle may only need a new panel now, but later on the vehicle may have serious alignment issues. So if you were to take two identical vehicles that are the same make, model, and year but one was in an accident and one was not, you would expect to get much less for the vehicle that was in an accident. Even with quality repairs done, an accident on a vehicle’s history report can be a big red flag when it comes time to let go of your vehicle.
