Ken Nix
Founder & Oregon vehicle appraiser
Ken’s background spans vehicle sales, automotive marketing and valuation. He began preparing diminished value appraisals in 2010, bringing practical experience with how vehicles are bought, sold and evaluated.
His automotive work and enthusiast communities helped build the knowledge behind Diminished Value of Oregon. Austin now serves as the main contact for the business.
Why we focus on Oregon
A useful appraisal needs more than a nationwide shortcut. Vehicle configuration, mileage, condition, prior history and the relevant market all affect value. Oregon claims also need care when discussing policy language and state law.
Our role is to develop and explain valuation evidence. Legal advice and representation require a qualified attorney. Any separately agreed public-adjusting work has its own scope and agreement.
One place to start
Use the full estimate page for a new request. We review the information you provide before recommending paid work. Physical inspections, repair evaluations and additional services require an agreed scope and additional fees.
