REPAIR RECORD

Start with what the estimate says.

Repair operations are quoted from the document and grouped by the work they describe.

BODY / PANELRepair or replace listed partsSource · final repair estimate

STRUCTUREFrame or unibody operationsOnly included when the estimate shows them

VEHICLE COMPARISONS

Match the cars before comparing prices.

Year, model, trim, drivetrain, mileage and market area all affect whether a listing belongs in the comparison.

MODEL YEARYear range recordedTRIM & DRIVEDetails noted where availableMILEAGECompared as a rangeMARKETLocation kept in view

ACCIDENT HISTORY

Separate clean history from reported damage.

Listings need a traceable history source. Unknown or conflicting records stay out of the measured group.

No accident reportedSource recorded where available

One accident reportedDamage details noted where available

Multiple accidentsSeverity kept distinct

RESULT & LIMITS

Show a figure only when evidence supports it.

Small samples and missing history matter. The report should say when the available cars cannot support a reliable comparison.

Not every repaired car has a recoverable loss.

Whether you can recover diminished value depends on the facts, the responsible party, available coverage, your state and the market evidence. If the car was totaled, a separate diminished-value claim generally does not apply. The free screening can help you identify questions to check before spending money.
