School zone accidents may occur at lower speeds, but they still create diminished value. Any collision that results in a repair and appears on your vehicle's Carfax report reduces its market value — regardless of the speed at which it occurred. Arizona's school zones see frequent rear-end collisions, sideswipes, and intersection accidents during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup, particularly along busy corridors like Southern Avenue, Baseline Road, and Guadalupe Road in the East Valley.
Orlando Auto Body's I-CAR Gold certified technicians repair all severity levels of collision damage, from minor bumper impacts to moderate panel damage. Every qualifying school-zone accident repair includes a free $450 Diminished Value Appraisal Packet that documents the market impact. Even if the repair cost is relatively low, the DV claim may be worth $1,000 to $4,000 or more for newer vehicles.
Parents — if you were rear-ended in a school zone drop-off line or sideswiped in a school parking lot by another driver, your vehicle lost value that the at-fault insurer owes you. Call Orlando Auto Body today for a free DV assessment.
