Diminished Value of Oregon4.4

I worked with Diminished Value of Oregon for an appraisal on my Mustang, and overall I’m very satisfied with the service I received. The process did take some time, so this is not something I would expect to be completed overnight. That said, the finished appraisal was detailed, professional, and clearly put together with the intention of being useful in an actual insurance claim rather than just giving me a generic number. What impressed me most was the support after the appraisal had already been completed. I had several follow-up questions and requested clarification on parts of the report. Austin took the time to respond in detail and explain the reasoning behind the valuation, the repair calculations, the mileage adjustment, and the methodology they use. I also discovered that I had accidentally failed to properly provide a second repair supplement showing a higher final repair total. Even though the original appraisal had already been completed, Austin was still willing to review the additional documentation and correct the report once I supplied the proper supplement. That level of follow-through meant a lot, especially because the missing information was the result of my own mistake rather than theirs. Communication can take a little patience because they appear to handle a high volume of these claims, but in my experience the results were worth the wait. Austin remained helpful, answered my questions, and was willing to make sure the appraisal reflected the correct documentation. I would recommend Diminished Value of Oregon to anyone dealing with an insurance company after a significant vehicle repair. Just make sure you provide every estimate and supplement up front, be patient with the process, and give them the time needed to prepare a thorough appraisal.

I would definitely use them again. They offer a full set up packet to provide directly to the insurance company as well as a demand letter that will hold up in court!

My name is Joey Barrote, I recently had a total loss claim. I felt the amount the insurance company was going to pay me was way under its value. I invoked my right to have an outside appraisal. I hired Austin - DVOO, I'm sure glad I did. They were able to get a significant increase on my Total Loss. I would definitely recommend their services to anybody that needs to get an accurate value for their loss. Grateful Joey Barrote 👌
Sandy Thompson
Flawless, seamless. Followed through in a timely manner and provided me with everything I needed to get the claim to the finish line.
Matthew Itsasecret
Reached out and spoke with Austin after my accident. He talked me through the process. I was provided with tons of documentation and information and my claim was paid out in full as determined by Austin’s evaluation. Super easy! I highly recommend their services.

I worked exclusively with Austin Nix. I had never done this before so I was skeptical. Austin was very good about responding to phone calls. And I had a lot of questions. Austin was very patient with me, And eventually I ended up with close to $5000 with my claim. I will definitely recommend Diminished Value of Oregon to friends and family in the future. Thank Austin!

Worked with Ken and Austin on a DV claim. The document and rebuttal they provided were professional and concise. The communication could be slow at times but they made an effort to reach out when they could with guidance.
William Brace

Great experience with Ken and Austin! I got a sizable claim with their assistance!
Paul Iscool
Austin was a pleasure to work with. He explained everything and kept in contact throughout the process. While I settled for an amount a little lower than his appraisal, it was 100% worth getting it. Don't let the insurance company tell you you don't need to get one, because their appraisal may come in very low. You can use your own appraisal and come to the table armed to negotiate a better deal. As Austin mentioned, lawyers can work too and I was in contact with one but we ended up being close enough to his appraisal that it wasn't worth outside intervention. Again, I highly recommend DVOO or at least getting your own appraisal so the insurance company doesn't low ball the heck out of you!

I had a fantastic experience with Oregon Diminished Values! They were quick, attentive, and efficient from start to finish. The team took the time to thoroughly explain the process and ensured I understood everything along the way. They handled my claim with professionalism and delivered results faster than I expected. Highly recommend them if you need expert help with diminished value claims!

I can't say enough great things about Ken Nix from Diminished Value of Oregon. When my car was involved in an accident, the insurance company gave me a lowball offer of $3,328. I was devastated, but then I found Ken, and everything changed. He worked his magic, negotiating tirelessly to get me what my car was truly worth. Thanks to him, I ended up with a fair market value of $5,250—almost double the initial offer! Ken's customer service is absolutely amazing. He took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions, and kept me updated every step of the way. His dedication and professionalism are truly legendary. If you need a third-party auto appraiser who will fight for your best interests, look no further than Ken Nix. He'll go above and beyond to make sure you get the compensation you deserve. I highly recommend his services to anyone dealing with diminished value claims. Ken is a game-changer in the industry, and I'm so grateful to have had him on my side.

THANK YOU KEN! You are magic! I got over 30% more for my cars value than if I took my insurances offer! Without his help I would be thousands of dollars in debt for a car I no longer had. He's the best there is. I confidently recommend him to anyone.
Paulina Oberg
Ken Nix is the absolute best! A pleasure working with him. Literally, Ken solved in less than 24 hours our issue with State Farm Total Loss Claim we struggled with for nearly 6 months. Highly recommend!
Jean Murphy
Ken is fantastic, wonderful, and an amazing person to work with. He has helped me so much. My insurance was not giving me the right amount for my car and I didn't know to much about disputes or anything. Then I came across Ken's info and needless to say he helped me get $3,500 additionally compared to what my insurance was going to give me. I am so grateful Ken. I hope this helps anyone else. *Also, my insurance paid me back for hiring Ken so that was also noice.
Hannah Brown
Called and gave them my info, Ken called me back within minutes. I went over the situation with him and he gave me advise on how to proceed. I am thankful for his honesty and how he runs his business. I would recommend Diminished Value of Oregon to anyone that is needing help on how to navigate/ deal with insurance. Thank you!

My husband and I purchased a 2018 Keystone RV. It was delivered to us June 2, 2017. We were informed that the rv was damaged in transit. I consulted with Ken Nix of Diminished Value of Oregon. Ken informed us that we did in fact have a diminished value claim. Ken did his due diligence through research on the value of our rv. Ken met with us to take photos of the damage and he wrote a very detailed report that included a diminished value of approx $12,500. We sent a demand letter and report to the insurance company and within 2 days we settled for $10,000. If it hadn’t been for Ken Nix looking out for us, we wouldn’t have known what our options were. If there is a question of diminished value, go through Ken Nix of Diminished Value of Oregon. PERIOD. Thank you again Ken. You really are the best ! Steve and Peg Anderson

Ken did awesome. He knows very well how to deal with insurance. After the insurance asked for his report he advice me not to submit until the insurance hire an appraisal. If I did the insurance will hire someone to discredit his work. Once the insurance hire someone he was able to get me 2700 extra for my total loss value.

Ken Nix “ works Miracles🙏 If Ken wouldn’t of helped me I would’ve never ever been able to get the value out of my car that was brand new at the time I was in an accident, so I’m so thankful God put ken in my life and I would use diminished value of Oregon(Ken Nix) and refer him to all of my friends and associates. Thank you!!

FANTASTIC JOB KEN for getting 2k above my settlement claim with Progressive on my Mazda 6. My car was stolen and progressive gave me a fast settlement offer that I didn't like and I knew I could get more which is why I searched for a person like KEN. It did take time of course and then after 2 weeks from my car being stolen it was found and then the whole process started over in a way. At first progressive was going to fix my car and then they missed something which then they had to totalled my working car. Once the car did get totalled Ken got the negotiations on my cars value and got what i wanted out of my Mazda. Instead of 8k got 10.5k plus my payment I paid for him back from progressive. No joke you'll get the money back from your insurance company if the appraisal goes up by a penny. It's worth the gamble 100%. Not only did get my settlement and also my car wasn't destroyed and fully working I was going to buy my car back from progressive at first they were not going to sell it to me. Ken told me what to say and they sold it back for 1.6k which was awesome. Ken is a Wealth of Knowledge across the whole auto industry which I also work in and is very refreshing by that fact alone. Please be aware Ken can be a very busy guy but always professional. He will always talk with you when available and with reassurance to let the process work. Took me awhile to write this review Ken my apologies. I appreciate again all that you did and enjoyed the wealth of knowledge from you and our long talks. Kyle G 2013 Mazda 6

All I can say is Wow! Money and time well spent. My 2001 F450 was stolen from me in June and deemed a total loss by State Farm when it was recovered in July. I found Ken’s business and he went to bat for me right away. After almost two months of State Farm creating delays and trying to cover up communication saying it didn’t happen, Ken and his team were able to get me a little over 80% more than their original offer! If you have any hesitations I say swallow them and give this man a call, but please bare in mind that with anything in the world right now, if they’re good at their job, there will be delays (recent hurricanes, flooding, vehicle crimes rising etc). Be patient, and contact Ken with any concerns, he will settle any question you have. State Farm offered me $3,000 more than the original offer after they knew Ken was involved. That offer was still $7,000 less than Ken was able to get me even after paying my $1,000 deductible. Thank you again for your efforts Sir. I enjoyed every conversation and your personable approach to business. I wish you and your family good health and some time for yourselves also in this crazy world 👍🏼 -Levi Buchanan

Ken really pulled the most value of my 2015 Evo lancer which was a total loss. Originally farmers offered me 18k. I told them I would take 24k, and they said I wasn't an appraiser. Good thing ken is, cause I got more than that. The final payout was 28,250. Wow! He is an adamant professional and very thorough. You are in good hands also since he is local and knows the insurance claims system better than the rest. Most of all he will fight for you. Thanks Ken!
Bailey Kinkade
Ken helped me navigate multiple obstacles that my insurance company threw my way. We ended up getting 8K more for the vehicle than previously offered. I highly recommend this company for any low ball insurance offers!
