The First Offer.

When a vehicle is totaled, the insurer decides its actual cash value (ACV) — and that first number is almost always low. We build the market-backed valuation that forces a fair settlement.

What "total loss" really means

A vehicle is typically declared a total loss when the cost of repairs exceeds roughly 65–80% of its pre-loss value. At that point the insurer stops paying for repairs and instead offers you the vehicle's actual cash value.

How actual cash value is set

ACV is the vehicle's market value the moment before the loss — based on make, model, year, mileage, condition, options, and upgrades. Insurers lean on valuation tools that routinely undervalue clean, well-optioned, or low-mileage vehicles.

  • Comparable local sales the insurer "missed"
  • Trim, packages, and upgrades left off the valuation
  • Condition and recent maintenance that raise value
  • Improper deductions and condition adjustments

You can dispute a low offer

You have the right to challenge a total-loss offer. But convincing an adjuster takes industry knowledge and documented evidence — not a phone argument. If our free claim review shows you were low-balled, our total-loss valuation report gives you the leverage to settle for what the vehicle was truly worth.
