Everyone knows that a vehicle loses value after a wreck and this loss is called "diminished value". Nobody is excited to own or purchase a vehicle that has been wrecked for so many reasons. Most dealers and consumers will substantially reduce their offer to purchase your vehcile if it has been previously wrecked. You will need help with your diminished value claim and Wreck Expert is here to help. 

An UNBIASED diminished value appraisal is necessary to determine how much your specific loss of value might be. If you recieve a diminished value offer from an insurance company, how do you know who produced it and how do you know that it is fair? We are happy to provide you with a free diminished value review to help you understand how to proceed.  

We look forward to educating and serving you throughout this process. Our experienced team will put you in the best position to get what you deserve.

If your vehicle is declared a total loss and covered by insurance, you will be offered a total loss settlement. We suggest that you get this in writing so that you have an opportunity to review it. Once you are presented with an offer, if you like the offer and think it is fair then accept it and be done. If you don't like the offer or think that the offer might not be fair, allow us to review your claim and provide you with our initial opinion. You deserve what is fair.

We offer vehicle inspections to help provide information, documentation, and recommendations. We often inspect vehicles after a customer brings them home from a car dealership or from a body shop. Unfortunately, we often find that consumers think they received what they paid for, but after our inspection they feel like they we just involved in a fraudulent transaction. Let our inspectors at Wreck Expert help you resolve this major issue.

When you look for a body repair shop to work on your vehicle, it’s important to take the time to find a great one. The devil is in the details and details take time and cost more money. Trying to figure out what shop is willing to follow your vehicle's repair proceedures is what you should demand.

Asking your neighbor or friend for a body shop referral will only let you know who provided good service along with a happy customer. What is missing from that conversation is the most critical part. For those reasons, you should not choose a shop until you understand a few critical details. 

Some questions to get documented from a shop that will either make you feel good or will raise some red flags are: 

Are they a preferred body shop for the insurance company? 

Do they guarantee to follow your vehicle manufacturer’s repair procedures? 

Will they ONLY use new original manufacturer parts?

Do they have the necessary equipment required to perform a proper repair?

Will they notify you if the insurance company (assuming one is involved) wants to underpay for your damages?

Do they use salvage, used, reconditioned, refurbished, and/or aftermarket parts? 

Are they pressured or rushed to get the repair done faster? 

Will they be providing any repair cost discounts to the vehicle owner or the insurance company? 

Have they had to re-repair or buy a vehicle back due to an improper repair? 

Will they put in writing answers to all of the above? 

Are their sublet vendors "certified / qualified" to do their work?

These are some of the important questions to ask when choosing a body repair shop. In addition, you can ask us at Wreck Expert to see if we have inspected any of their completed vehicles. We are here to help you choose wisely and minimize your future frustrations.

This system is often referred to as a Crash Data Recorder (CDR) or and Event Data Recorder (EDR). An EDR recording is designed to record specific vehicle data that has been recorded once there is a triggering event. This data is recovered by an expert to help determine what occurred around the time of the wreck. 

The length and type of data recorded will depend on the EDR's specific system. It is very common for a personal injury attorney or an insurance company to request this data before the car is sold or scrapped. WreckExpert has the equipment and expertise necessary to recover EDR data from a majority of vehicles.

In a perfect world, it would be easy to determine if the used car you’re buying is really in the condition you’re being promised. With Wreck Expert, we are that much closer to providing a worry-free used car buying process. Before buying a used car, it’s important to know that CARFAX® has limitations and it doesn’t NOT INCLUDE all damages / wrecks. For this reason, CARFAX even recommends that you should get your car professionally inspected. While most service mechanics inspect areas like tires, brakes, and exhaust, Wreck Expert inspects vehicles for prior body damages and potentially unsafe repairs.

If you have already purchased a vehicle and want it inspected, we do that too.

If you were in an accident where the other person was at fault, you may be entitled to reimbursement because you were unable to use your car for a certain amount of time. We will help you navigate loss of use and unreasonable rental car claims. If someone else caused the wreck, you are entitled to make a loss of use claim for reimbursement during these times. Wreck Expert can walk you through this process every step of the way.
