    I have a 2020 Honda CRV and was in a wreck last year. There was $11,000+ repair costs which my insurance company paid with no problem. My insurance company subsequently offered $800 in diminished value payment. I was given Jim Marshall's name. He prepared a professional appraisal which I submitted to my insurance company. They agreed to another $2,300 payment and insisted that was the maximum amount I could expect to receive. Thanks to Jim's guidance in negotiating with my insurance company, the final settlement amount is $7,600!!! It was a pleasure working with Jim. He is very professional and timely responsive. If I had not heard of Jim's service, I would have simply accepted the initial payment of $800 and never known the difference. I highly recommend Jim's company for this type of service.

    When my automobile was repaired, I called my insurance company and asked them how i should handle the diminished value caused by my no fault-accident (I was hit from behind). They could not/would not help me on what my diminished value was, so I initially dealt with the other insurance company. I called them to see what offer they would give me for car's DV. They gave me low amount compared to what i thought i should get. We did negotiate and they increased their offer a little. i researched appraisers and found DVCHECK. i spoke with them and decided to use them. They led me through the process and were very responsive to my calls and emails. Jim did a wonderful job for me. Jim worked with the insurance company appraiser whose appraisal was very low and was able to have him budge a little. Talking with JIm we decided to involve an umpire. The umpire's decision was higher than i was expecting and wanted and was more than pleased with his decision. Jim and DVCHECK were wonderful.
    I would highly recommend DVCHECK if you are in need of an appraisal and allow the experts to help guide you through the process.
    Hopefully I will never have to use them again, but if I do need an appraiser, they are the one I would call.
    Thank you again Jim and DVCHECK. You are in good hands with DVCHECK.

    A driver ran into my 2021 Ram 2500 which caused $36,000. damage. The Insurance company wanted to give me $4,000. for a diminished value settlement. Jim sent me his appraisal for $11,028. Today the insurance company agreed to Jim’s number and will be sending a check today!! Jim explained the process to me that allowed me to negotiate with the drivers insurance company

    I didn’t know DV appraisals were a thing until I was recommended to DV Check after a major car accident. My car sustained over $30,000 in damages and the insurance company only wanted to pay me a fraction for my diminished value. I contacted DV Check to do an independent appraisal which was delivered in a couple days. Jim walked me through the entire process and guided me every step of the way. They were extremely responsive, often times responding to my emails within minutes. In the end DV Check negotiated a settlement with my insurance company’s independent appraiser which was within $1000 of DV Check’s original appraisal! Had I not contacted DV Check, we would have gotten completely low balled. I would highly recommend DV check if you are in need of an appraisal and allow the experts to help guide you through the process.

    Unfortunately for us, our vehicle was struck—while parked in our driveway!—by an impaired driver. To add insult to injury, our insurance company grossly undervalued our vehicle, immediately declaring it a total loss / unrepairable, and offering us an insultingly low settlement / payout offer, about 50% of the actual market value of our vehicle.
    I researched experienced automotive appraisers specializing in diminished value and total-loss valuation situations, and found Jim Marshall and DVCHECK. I was immediately impressed with Jim’s no-nonsense approach and felt that he clearly understood our circumstances. We engaged DVCHECK’s services for a professional, independent appraisal and market valuation of our limited-production vehicle, and we were quite impressed and very pleased with the professionalism and completeness of DVCHECK’s appraisal.
    With DVCHECK’s appraisal in hand, we invoked the Appraisal Clause with our insurance company, and finally started making progress. Starting from a realistic valuation, the cost of repairing our vehicle was found to be less than the threshold for totaling the vehicle, and the insurance company ultimately paid to repair our vehicle and restore it to pre-accident condition, our goal from the very start. This favorable outcome simply would not have been possible without the professional appraisal from DVCHECK, and it was the best investment we could possibly have made.
    I HIGHLY recommend Jim Marshall and DVCHECK for other individuals feeling pressured into accepting the automatic “low-ball” offer from their insurance company following an auto accident and declared / presumed total loss. Our experience has proven that it IS possible to reverse an insurance company’s initial total-loss determination. Further, my strong advice is to NEVER accept an insurance company’s initial settlement offer if they decide to total your vehicle. Why? Insurance companies make money by minimizing what they pay out to claimants and policyholders.

    Jim and DVCHECK made the process of dealing with the insurance company beyond easy. For a small fee, Jim did all the research and gave us the letter and the diminished value report to submit a claim to the insurance company with detailed instructions and a timeline. We expected to go back and forth with the insurance company but weren’t worried because we had confidence that Jim would guide us through the entire process. The insurance company surprisingly didn’t put up a fight and agreed with Jim’s diminished value appraisal and gave us the amount (over $10k) we asked for. Thank you, DVCHECK! We literally couldn’t have done this on our own.

    I was rear ended in my wife's 2 month old car. After the repairs were completed through the responsible party's insurance, I tried to submit a diminished value claim myself. After arguing and arguing with State Farm they offered me a measly $500, when I was owed in the neighborhood of $3500 to $4500. They refused to budge any further and claimed that diminished value is a "negotiation tactic" by dealers, and that a properly repaired vehicle does not lose value. This is not true, particularly if you life in a diminished value state! After I got my appraisal from Jim at DVcheck.com, I submitted it to State Farm and got a call from an adjuster in 3 days. They offered me the full $3977 consistent with the appraisal. Thank you Jim for your expertise and professional report! I will recommend DVcheck.com to any friends or family in this situation without hesitation.
