DVAC is an outstanding business! They guided me through every step of the process. When the insurance company initially denied my diminished value claim, I took the case to small claims court—and both Richards were there to support me online during the hearing! I successfully recovered the full amount of my claim. Communication with Emily and Richard was excellent throughout. Using DVAC is a must—thank you for everything!

This business helped us tremendously!! Progressive was really trying to tell us they would only give 1k on 10k worth of damage. DVAC was able to help us by sending the report & progressive called & said they’d have the check sent out in two days. Don’t play w these insurance company’s, know what you’re entitled to & pay the bit that it costs to get that report from the experts !!

Richard and Emily provided me a valuable service while I was trying to hold my insurance company accountable for a fair total loss settlement. I am so grateful for them and highly recommend.

Lost my car in an accident with no injuries but the at-fault insurer was giving me a really low price considering the upgrades and personalizations I had put on the car. - I had negotiated with the adjuster myself, and came to DVAC to ensure that the valuation price was an acceptable price, and they were very helpful! They provide a free consult, they ask for your reports and run the numbers to make sure you know what price you should ask for your vehicle before you go back to the adjuster. I had a good price before going to them, and they sadly were not able to help me get a better price because I was already there, and they advised me to take the valuation settlement. Their fees are reasonable and their customer service is amazing. Highly recommend the team at DVAC, the countless amazing reviews speak for themselves. Keep it up guys 🙂

So happy I worked with Richard and his team with my accident. Whole process was quick and smooth. Richard, I want to thank you for helping me with my appraisal clause! It resulted me getting a bigger check than what my insurance was offering. Appreciate you!

Contacted Diminished Value Appraisal Claims of Hampton Roads for a free consultation after attempting to negotiate with the insurance company and receiving a second low ball market valuation from CCC One in which they picked comps as far away as 500 miles (and I presume vehicles that had been in prior accidents). They ran the numbers and their valuation was 2k/25% higher than the CCC One valuation. We invoked the appraisal clause and the insurance's appraiser agreed to the number in full. I absolutely recommend contacting and working with Diminished Value Appraisal Claims of Hampton Roads.Edit:Contacted Diminished Value Appraisal Claims 6months later for a consultation after receiving a repair estimate from the insurance company to ask about a diminished value claims. They kindly walked me through the details of what would warrant a diminished claim. My case did not qualify but I appreciate having the peace of mind. I would give them another 5 star rating if I could.

What is Diminished Value?

Even after repairs, your car may lose resale value due to its accident history—known as diminished value. Many buyers avoid damaged vehicles or expect a discount, but you have the right to file a diminished value claim. Some insurance companies won’t inform you of your right to an independent appraisal and often minimize payouts. With accurate data and a strong claim, DVAC ensures you get the compensation you deserve.
