How to Order a Market Value Assessment Report from Directdv

Updated

Directdv offers an online ordering path for its Loss of Market Value Assessment: the site's appraisal services page includes an "Order Your Market Value Assessment" section with an "Order On-line Report" link. To use it, start from the Directdv appraisal services page, read the market value assessment description, then follow the online order link and provide your vehicle and accident details. Directdv describes itself as a full-service appraisal company that has helped customers recover what they are owed since 1991, and it states that loss of market value can be assessed regardless of how completely the vehicle was repaired.

What the Market Value Assessment Covers

Directdv defines Loss of Value, or Diminished Value, as the difference between the market value of a vehicle with no accident history and the market value of the same vehicle with accident history. The company notes that this is a legally recognized element of property damage loss and can be assessed even if repairs were completed.

Directdv also warns that any deficiency in the claim or repair process may increase the loss in market value. If you are unsure whether your vehicle was properly repaired, the company suggests hiring it to inspect the vehicle and perform a full claim audit and repair critique documenting any evidence of repair. It adds that repair evidence is often not obvious to an untrained eye, and that if evidence is obvious to you, a qualified appraiser will likely find additional issues.

Steps to Order Online

  1. Go to the Directdv website and open the appraisal services page (the page titled "SERVICES | Directdv").
  2. Read the "Loss of Market Value Assessment" section to confirm this is the service you need.
  3. In the "Order Your Market Value Assessment" area, select the "Order On-line Report" link.
  4. Enter the requested vehicle and accident information so the assessment can be prepared.
  5. Submit the order and use the resulting report as evidence when pursuing your claim with the responsible party.

The site does not publish pricing or payment details on the page reviewed, so confirm cost and payment method during the order process rather than assuming the service is free.

What to Have Ready Before You Order

  • Vehicle identification details (make, model, year, and identification number).
  • Accident information, including date and the nature of the damage.
  • Repair records and invoices, if repairs have already been completed.
  • Any correspondence with your insurer or the responsible party about the claim.

Having these on hand supports a more accurate assessment and makes the report more useful when you submit your diminished value claim.

Related Services on the Same Site

Directdv also describes a Diminished Value Appraisal that involves a physical inspection of the vehicle after repairs. The company says it documents evidence of repair history, any omitted repair operations needed for a complete and proper repair, and any deficiencies in repair, safety, quality, function, and appearance, then provides an itemized list of claim- or repair-related deficiencies. If your concern is whether the repairs themselves were done correctly, that inspection service may fit better than a stand-alone market value report.

When This Order Path Fits

Choose the online market value assessment if your vehicle has been in an accident, repairs are complete or underway, and you want documentation of the value difference to support a claim. If you are unsure about repair quality or suspect the claim process missed something, ask Directdv about the inspection and claim audit option before or alongside ordering the report.
