Save your car's value.

Most of the time when an insurance claim or an accident report gets filed with the police department, that will show up on a vehicle history report like a CarFax. The unfortunate part about this is that once that is in the report, it affects the resale value of the car, even if the damage was minor.

No one wants to find their car in worse condition than when they left it, but accidents do happen. And even if the damage was minor, there are a few reasons why you may want to get a repair quote before you file a claim.

“How much is your deductible?” For those that aren’t aware, the deductible is how much money you are on the hook for when the insurance does a repair. If it’s $500 that comes out of your pocket and the insurance company covers the rest. This is an important number to know, because you have to pay this no matter what.

What most people may not know is that by handling inexpensive damage claims on your own, not only are you saving time but you may benefit in another way--your car’s resale value.

Most of the time when an insurance claim or an accident report gets filed with the police department or insurance company, that will show up on a vehicle history report like a CarFax. The unfortunate part about this is that once that is in the report, it affects the resale value of the car, even if the damage was minor.

If there are two similar cars for sale and one has an accident history and the other does not, a buyer would expect to pay less for the one that was in a collision regardless of the extent of the damages.

If you fix the damage without the claim, the likelihood of the collision showing up on the report is much lower.

Granted, this is only for minor stuff, and anything above it should clearly be handled by your insurer—that’s what it’s for.
But even the simplest things can be expensive to fix on modern cars. And knowing your deductible and the repair costs ahead of time for something minor could save you some hassle and maintain your resale value.
