My Lotus was hit, while parked, by a driver insured by Allstate. They
refused to pay dimininution of value on the vehicle for four months. I
contacted Appraisal Group of America and Terry provided me an appraisal of
the fair market value before and after the accident. The judge reviewed
the appraisal and awarded me the legal maximum in California. Monica and
Terry have been great to work with, and in the unfortunate situation this
happens again, I won't hesitate to come back.
Mr. Dean - California
Thank you very much for the lease trade in appraisal. You made this service very
easy, quick, and affordable. It was not difficult at all and very professional.

Dear Terry, Monica, Joni and Appraisal Group of America!
I wanted to say thanks again for your help. My 2003 Toyota Camry was in a
wreck that caused over $6500 worth of damages. Allstate insurance wanted to
fix it. I did not want my car back especially since the damage was over 50%
of the car's value not including the diminished value. I contacted Appraisal
Group of America, requested a diminished value quote, and sent it over to Allstate
insurance. This brought the new claim amount to $10,400 and they decided to total
out the vehicle instead. Allstate will be mailing me a check in the amount
of $12,888.61
I used the money to buy myself another car that's never been wrecked, which is
what I was driving before the accident!
Thank you guys so much!!!!!!!

Thanks for all your help. You got me $5000.00 instead of the $700.00 they
offered me. Your service really saved me a financial burden when I decide to
sell my truck.

Thank you Monica and staff for the tenacious diligence and going to bat for
me during my settlement claim. Farmers insurance declared my 1989 Porsche
944S2 a total loss and gave it 'excellent' condition marks but were
insistent on a FMV of $7,300. I looked around with fervor and felt this was
unacceptable for a replacement 944S2 in comparable condition. I argued for a
month with Farmers insurance until I ran across Autoloss.com. I even
submitted a Porsche Club of America (PCA) Valuation form stating the FMV for
my car was on average $9,540 prior to contacting Appraisal Group of America
and yet still no budging on Farmers part.
After filling out the free quote Monica called the next day and we had a
half hour conversation and she was confident in getting me $9,200 - $9,900.
The week before Christmas she calls and says they reached a settlement price
of $10,091!!! I just received my check on New Years Eve. I could have not
asked for better service!
Thank you so much!

Monica -
Thank you again for your enormous help and expertise. As you know, after my
2007 Volvo was involved in an accident earlier this fall, I was disappointed
with the insurance company's "diminished value" they had assigned to the
vehicle as a result of the accident. The amount of diminished value
clearly was much lower than I anticipated, and without your guidance I would
never had recovered the lost value of the Volvo from the accident.
Not having worked with you before, I honestly was skeptic with the
results. In the end, I can honestly say working with you was such a very
positive experience. You exceeded my expectations! In the end - you helped
with all the details of the transaction, from scheduling third party
appraisers to umpires to receiving the final settlement payment from the
insurance company. Bottom-line, the experience was great, and the financial
benefit of using your company was worth thousands of dollars!
Thanks again,
Dick Sullivan - Executive Vice President, Atlanta Falcons
Good afternoon AGA,
I just wanted to update you on the results of this claim. Progressive's initial offer
was 50% of what our claim had suggested, $4600. They tried to use the GA
formula and that the parts that were replaced were all Toyota quality excuses. Following
the claims process suggestions they wanted to get their own appraiser and to come
look at my truck. I agreed 100% to this. They called me the following day
with a new offer without even looking at the truck. They said that they would
agree to 30% of the vehicle's value or $8000. I could have argued a bit more,
but felt that it was a fair offer in such a short amount of time.
My check has been sent out today so I should have it next week.
I want to thank you guys for your outstanding customer service and the
speed in which this case was dealt with. I will make sure I tell everyone
I know about your services.
God Bless and Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Dear Monica and Staff,
I have settled with Progressive Ins Company. We have agreed on a
diminished value claim of $5920.00. Monica, I am satisfied with the results.
Thank you for your help. Thank you for your website. Your experience, your published claim report,
and the diminished claim manual were exactly the tools that I needed to pursue this claim.
Thank you so much.
Charlotte Baggett - Food Lion DC-4
Thanks for your help against Allstate. Due to your hard work, customer service,
and follow up we ended at $6,037 for diminished value on my 2004 Nissan.
Thanks for your help.
Keith M. - Texas
Allstate agreed to give me $5,500 for my Diminished Value claim on my 2002 Honda.
Thanks for helping me fight with them. The follow up with your company was excellent
and the Diminished Value manual was perfect. I could not have done it with you.
I will refer everyone to you. You really do fight for us and I really
enjoyed working with you. I spoke with many companies and your company was
the only company I felt really worked for the consumers.
God Bless..

After I was hit while driving my 1993 Volvo 240 Wagon Classic, Farmers
Insurance offered me $3700 as a total loss value. The vehicle was a limited
edition and had been in excellent condition with low mileage and had always
been well-maintained. I knew I could never get a vehicle of that quality
for the amount they offered so I tried to negotiate a better settlement with
them for more than a month. I also tried to get help from my own insurance
company, USAA, but had no success. I was about to accept the offer out of a
need to move on, but as a last-ditch effort I searched online to see if
anyone could help get me better settlement. I found Appraisal Group of
America and submitted an online form, not knowing what to expect.
Terry called within a day of my form submission and walked me through the
process. Within a few days he and Monica had created an appraisal report
that valued my vehicle at over $6900. Less than a week after they sent the
valuation to Farmers, they offered to settle with me for the full amount
requested - nearly twice as much as their original offer! I was amazed and
grateful for the fast, friendly, and effective work of Appraisal Group of
America. I recommend them enthusiastically!!

Dear Terry and Monica,
I just wanted to thank you for helping me settle a diminished value claim of
$5610 against Nationwide Insurance. Nationwide originally wanted to give me
$938. The appraisal report that you created was phenomenal and it helped me
get more than what I bargained for. This whole car accident was such an
ordeal for me and you made it so easy for me to get through this difficult
time. Your expertise and customer service was superb and I will highly
recommend you to my family and friends. You would always respond to my
emails. Again thank you, thank you Terry and Monica for your continued
efforts. I will always be grateful to both of you.
Thank You,
Kena- Atlanta,GA
Dear Appraiser Group of America,
I just wanted to write to let you know about the excellent
service that we have received from your company. Very rarely do you find a
company that will, so to speak, "go to bat for you" when you're up against an
insurance company and get results. Gary Fisher of Appraiser Group has worked on
two cases for us so far, the 1st case he got the insurance company
to pay more than 200% over what their original offer was and in the 2nd
case more than 100%. I would wholeheartedly refer anyone who disagrees with
their insurance offer to Appraiser Group of America. Thank you for your
service.
