Diminished value appraisals in Colorado
Colorado vehicle owners may want to document a potential market-value difference when a collision becomes part of a vehicle’s history.
Current RAS service coverage
Colorado is currently listed as a generally available service state, subject to the facts and any applicable service restrictions.
What a diminished-value appraisal documents
RAS reviews the vehicle, repair facts, available market evidence, assumptions, methodology, and appraisal reasoning. An appraisal is evidence, not a guarantee of insurance coverage, payment, or outcome.
Records worth preserving
Keep estimates, supplements, final repair invoices, photographs, vehicle information, prior-history records, claim correspondence, and relevant dated market evidence.
What makes a Colorado appraisal more supportable?
Clear repair records, accurate vehicle information, photographs, claim correspondence, and relevant market evidence support the appraisal reasoning.
