Diminished value appraisals in Georgia
A collision record can affect the market perception of a repaired vehicle in Georgia even when the repairs were completed properly.
Current RAS service coverage
RAS currently lists Georgia as a generally available service state. Final acceptance is based on the specific vehicle, accident, repair history, and documentation.
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.
When should a Georgia owner request an appraisal?
Many owners begin after repairs are complete and repair records are available. Preserve records from the accident onward.
