After my 3 had $10,500 worth of repairs done this month, I went and got 4 appraisals online, including one from KBB showing pre-accident value. To send to State Farm for my diminished value claim. Because no matter how good the work it, it now has an accident history and that equals less value.

State Farm emailed me today, saying I didn't meet burden of proof to show my particular vehicle value before and after the accident that was all the other guys' fault.

Suggestions? I talked to Tesla and a couple car insurance places about getting an appraisal, and they were all like "Huh? Derrrwhaaa? Appraisal? We don't do appraisals."

It doesn't surprise me that State Farm will play it like this, so what's my best next move?
