Diminished Value Claims in Macon

Even with quality repairs, your car loses market value simply because it has an accident history. This is called diminished value, and Georgia law protects your right to recover it.

RJ’s diminished value assessments for Macon drivers:

• Establish your car’s true pre- and post-accident value.
• Reference OEM repair standards and ADAS safety recalibrations.
• Provide reports that hold up in Georgia courts and insurer reviews.
• Help clients consistently recover thousands more than initial insurer offers.

Post-Repair Inspections in Macon

Central Georgia drivers often discover hidden repair issues long after their insurer claims a job is complete. RJ’s independent post-repair inspections uncover:

• Frame or structural misalignment.
• Incomplete calibration of advanced safety systems (ADAS).
• Non-OEM or substandard replacement parts.
• Refinishing flaws and concealed damage.

These inspections protect your safety, resale value, and future claim rights.

Appraisal Clause & Total Loss Support

If your insurer undervalues your claim, Georgia’s appraisal clause allows you to appoint an independent appraiser. RJ has extensive experience serving Macon clients in this capacity.

Services include:

• Appraisal Clause Negotiations with insurance companies.
• Total Loss Assessments to establish fair market value.
• Gap Insurance Estimates for accurate replacement costs.

RJ’s negotiation skills and technical authority provide Macon drivers with leverage against insurer tactics.
