Was your car totaled or repaired?

We calculate your estimate differently depending on what happened.

We use your document only to calculate your estimate. We do not share or sell your information.

What this is, and what your report looks like

Your insurer's report. Your evidence. Your money.

After an accident, carriers use their own tools to minimize what they owe you. We read those numbers and show you what a fair recovery could look like.

Your insurer's valuation report is usually a PDF titled something like "Total Loss Valuation" or "Vehicle Valuation Report" from CCC or Mitchell. It's in your settlement packet, or you can request it from your adjuster.

Diminished value is the gap between what your car was worth before the accident and after, even once repairs are done. You can seek it from an at-fault driver's insurer as part of a liability claim. This is a recognized claim type, not a loophole. We are not your attorney and this is not legal advice.

First offer $10,821. The client got it to $14,798 on her own before hiring us, so we count only the increase after that.

Referred by her body shop. We produced no document: we advised by text and email on comps, her written response and the appraisal clause, and checked the settlement breakdown. The insurer's first offer was $40,916 and its own appraiser later said $34,970; she negotiated the $43,000 herself (10/13/2026). No kit was purchased. Not counted in paid-customer figures.

I was skeptical how this would all work when I first contacted [us] but I have been pleasantly surprised. The process has been easier and faster than I imagined, no doubt due to your diligence and quick responses to all my questions and requests. I am extremely satisfied with your work and the settlement that you were able to generate for our stolen vehicle.

Zoheb was amazing. I couldn't have done this without his guidance. … His communication was great any time I had a question or needed his assistance he was on top of it. Thank again Zoheb for all your help. We greatly appreciate you.
Bay Area client, total loss. A review of our free coaching; she negotiated the settlement herself · Trustpilot, 5 stars

Where this started: our founder’s own family car. The insurer said $17,262; the paperwork got it to $29,155 in writing, $11,643 more like for like. Not a client result, and not counted above.

Results vary. Every claim is different, and some recover less or nothing above the insurer's offer. Not legal advice. Figures come from each claim’s own documents.

Questions

Straight answers.

What does 'made whole' mean in an insurance context?

Made whole means that after a covered loss, you should be restored to the same financial position you were in before the incident — no better, no worse. In a total-loss claim, that means receiving the fair market value of your vehicle before the accident.

Is 'made whole' a legal right I can enforce?

The principle of indemnity and made-whole doctrine appear in both insurance law and policy language, but the specific rights available to you depend on your state, your policy, and the facts of your claim. An appraisal clause in your policy is the most common enforcement mechanism short of litigation.

What is an appraisal clause and how does it work?

An appraisal clause is a provision in most auto policies that allows either party — you or the insurer — to demand an independent appraisal when there is a disagreement about the value of a vehicle. Each side selects their own appraiser; if the two appraisers disagree, a neutral umpire decides.

Does my insurer have to honor an appraisal award?

In most states, a properly completed appraisal process results in a binding award. Your insurer is required to pay the appraised amount even if it is higher than their original offer.

What if I already accepted the settlement?

If you signed a release of liability, your options may be limited depending on the language of the release and your state's laws. If you have not signed, you still have options — and we can help you evaluate them.

The first offer is where the insurer starts. Check yours before you sign.

It’s free and takes a couple of minutes. You’ll know whether the number holds up.
