Diminished value appraisals in Texas
After a collision in Texas, a vehicle can be fully repaired and still carry an accident history that affects how buyers, dealers, or other market participants view it.
Current RAS service coverage
Because RAS is domiciled in Texas, this is a primary service market. Every request is still reviewed for the vehicle, accident, repairs, documentation, and applicable requirements.
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.
