Here's what to do when you insurance says your car is totaled
August 29, 2020
You were in an accident and your insurance company says your car's totaled. Just like any business, your insurance company's out to make as much money as they can and spend as little as possible. Your claim is cutting into their profits. They're going to safegaurd their money by minimizing your claim settlement. Unless you're highly skilled in insurance negotiations, you need a professional on your side.
Auto Appraisal Network - Detroit can help you determine the prior loss appraisal amount of your vehicle to assure you get what you're owed. Our professional, experienced appraisers know exactly what to do to assure you the greatest payout for your vehicle. Unless you're an expert in cars and insurance claims, you wont get every dollar your owed. For over thirty years, I've helped clients maximize their collision or comprehensive auto claim settlement.
Let's see if you're an expert. Ask yourself these six basic questions:
1.) What's the difference between two stage and quad-coat paint finishes?
2.) Does your car have LED, Xenon, or Halogen headlamps with or with directional capability?
3.) Does your car have adaptive cruise control? If so, was it an option or standard equipment?
4.) What is tread depth?
5.) What accessories on your car are OEM vs AM?
6.) What is a build sheet?
If you can't answer all six questions confidently, you're losing money on your claim. You need to contact Marty at Auto Appraisal Network - Detroit today.
