Highway accidents in Arizona tend to cause the most significant vehicle damage — and consequently, the highest diminished value claims. Collisions on the I-10, I-17, Loop 101, Loop 202, and US-60 often occur at speeds of 55 to 75 mph, resulting in extensive structural damage, airbag deployment, and frame deformation. When your vehicle sustains this level of damage, the repair history on your Carfax creates a substantial reduction in market value — often $2,000 to $8,000 or more, even after a perfect repair.
Orlando Auto Body specializes in high-severity collision repairs that require advanced structural work, frame straightening, and full panel replacement. Our three Valley locations are equipped with state-of-the-art frame measuring systems, and our I-CAR Gold certified technicians follow factory repair procedures to the letter. Every highway accident repair we perform is backed by our lifetime warranty and uses OEM parts. But we also go further: we include a free $450 Diminished Value Appraisal Packet that accounts for the severity of highway-speed damage in your DV valuation.
Insurance adjusters know that highway collisions cause more damage, but they won't volunteer to pay you diminished value. In fact, many adjusters will try to minimize the repair scope to reduce costs. At Orlando Auto Body, we advocate for the full repair your vehicle needs — and we document the extensive nature of the damage in your DV packet. If you were in a highway accident within the last two years and the other driver was at fault, your claim could be worth significantly more than a typical fender bender.
