Diminished Value

The loss in value of a damaged vehicle is known as diminished value. The amount of diminished value of a damaged and repaired vehicle depends on several factors including pre-loss value of the vehicle, nature and severity of the damages, and the quality of repairs done. 



The full original value of the vehicle will likely never be regained, but taking your vehicle to a reputable Non-DRP repair shop that performs quality repairs will minimize the loss in value.
