Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, February 19, 2013

He who has the biggest advertising budget wins! CarFax has convinced the American Public that it cannot survive without them.

Take a look at this awesome article on CarFax that we found in the Florida Independent Auto Dealers Association Magazine. This is the type of "industry insider" information that DamageMAX shares with consumers to help you make educated decisions.

No Collision Coverage

Joseph Coupal - Friday, February 15, 2013

You just wrecked your car and you have no collision coverage. Your car was towed by the police "somewhere" and all you got was a piece of paper from the officer at the scene that tells you to call between 8am and 4pm to find out where your car is…

Let the games begin!

Your tow bill will be somewhere north of $200, maybe twice that if the vehicle was off the road and had to be winched back up. Storage racks up at $25-75 per day and there will be some sort of administrative fee because the “sky is blue”!

DJ Harrington Named Spokesman for DamageMAX

Joseph Coupal - Thursday, February 07, 2013

Renowned automotive industry veteran will represent the leading buyer of damaged vehicles at industry events and on television, radio and the internet

ATLANTA AND NEW YORK – DJ Harrington was named spokesman for DamageMAX, the leading buyer of damaged vehicles. Dr. Harrington will represent DamageMAX at industry events, in advertising campaigns and on the internet. Known as the "CAR-diologist" DJ has over 50 years of automotive industry experience.

Dr Harrington chose to represent DamageMAX because of its many benefits to damaged vehicle owners: "For years I have worked with car dealers and body shops - 9 times out of 10 they unable to assist consumers that can't afford to, or simply don't want to repair their wrecked vehicle. DamageMAX solves this problem for the consumer as well as collision repair facilities and automotive retailers." Dr. Harrington added: "DamageMAX will buy your wrecked vehicle and give you the freedom to go get a new vehicle – fast." A motor vehicle accident happens nearly every second in the United States. Many of these drivers may be better off selling their damaged car AS-IS than opting for repairs. DamageMAX can help with the decision and will even buy the damaged car if it is in the consumer's best interest.

DamageMAX leverages the experience of industry insiders to bring cutting edge advice that will get our customers back on the road,” said Michael Lasini, founder of DamageMAX. “Until now there has not been a good option for consumers with damaged cars, but DamageMAX will buy any damaged vehicle, anywhere in the United States. Our mission is to help consumers make a fast, educated decision and minimize their financial exposure. Many consumers fall victim to tow and storage yards that assess daily charges and hefty administrative fees. For years, consumers without physical damage insurance coverage have had no alternative but to pay out-of-pocket or simply abandon the vehicle in favor of relief from these exorbitant charges. DamageMAX is a game-changer and friend of the consumer”.

DamageMax is on LinkedIN

Joseph Coupal - Wednesday, February 06, 2013

Thanks for viewing the DamageMAX LinkedIN site. DamageMAX is the leading buyer of damaged, inoperable and problem vehicles.

Our goal is simple: change the paradigm in auto body collision repair and damaged vehicle replacement. DamageMAX is changing the way consumers think about auto accidents and collision repair. Just like broken household appliances are replaced instead of repaired, the new economics of collision repair now dictate that many broken vehicles should be sold instead of repaired.

DamageMAX buys damaged, wrecked and mechanically distressed vehicles anywhere in the United States. It's all done virtually with no physical inspections. We work off digital images & estimates (when available) and a brief physical description from the owner of the vehicle. We buy any vehicle, anywhere regardless of condition or value. We also provide guidance to consumers so they can make informed decisions.

70,000 people wreck their vehicles in the US each day - almost 1 every second. Each one of those people is unprepared for an accident and they have no idea what to do or who to call. They are victim to a process they have never experienced and have no control over! Half of these drivers will be under-insured, un-insured or at fault and will get no reimbursement for repairs. To add insult to injury, their vehicle will most likely be towed to an unsavory impound yard and held hostage for storage at predatory rates--most tow yards will only take cash as a form of payment.

DamageMAX is a game-changer!

We help people make fast, informed decisions about their damaged vehicle and get them some financial relief. For decades, most people just handed the title of their vehicle over to the storage yard or body shop and walked away. Most damaged vehicles are worth more than you think if you can make a quick decision and get it moved before the storage charges mount.

So the bottom line is…

  • DamageMAX gives consumers cash for damaged vehicles they don’t have the desire or means to repair
  • DamageMAX helps consumers deal with vehicle storage/impound yards
  • DamageMAX helps consumers trade their damaged car if you owe more than it's worth
  • DamageMAX can helps consumers find a good repair shop

Please let your colleagues and stakeholders know about DamageMAX. Our customers are raving fans and our unparalleled track record speaks for itself.


Insurance Direct Repair Programs (DRPs) and your Wrecked Car

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, January 29, 2013

A recent J.D. Power and Associates survey indicates that wrecked vehicles are not being repaired right the first time. The 2013 U.S. Auto Claims Satisfaction Study (released January 2013) indicates that while insurance companies and body shops are repairing vehicles faster, the quality of repair is suffering. Contributing to lower satisfaction is a decline in the percentage of vehicles being fixed right the first time.

"While insurers have made significant progress in the past 12 months to improve the efficiency of the claims process, the repair providers have not kept pace," said Jeremy Bowler, senior director of the insurance practice at J.D. Power and Associates. "Failure to repair a vehicle correctly is critical to the customer experience as average satisfaction scores tumble over one hundred points for those who had to bring their vehicle back for repeat repairs."

Auto Insurers care about settling the claim fast and cutting their expenses. If you use their DRP the insures saves and you get nothing in return – quality drops, repair time increases, satisfaction wanes. If you go out of network for repair, you get a check quickly but usually for less than what is needed to repair the car (evidenced by the increasing of supplemental repair orders) and you are not compensated for diminished value!

If you choose to repair your vehicle you wait an average of 13.5 days for your car! And it probably won't be repaired correctly the first time. Add in CARFAX diminution and it makes sense to sell your damaged vehicle AS-IS.

Given all these facts, it is time for a paradigm shift. Just as you would not repair a broken television, clock or microwave, don't repair your wrecked vehicle. Sell it to DamageMAX and let us worry about what to do with your wrecked car. We buy damaged vehicles every day and specialize in your once-in-a-lifetime problem.

It your right not to repair your vehicle. You may request the settlement check and not repair the vehicle. If you wrecked your car and simply just don't feel comfortable driving the car again, please consider selling your damaged vehicle to DamageMAX. DamageMAX will buy your wreck and you keep the insurance check! Thought you could not have your cake and eat it too? Not so with DamageMAX!

You Can't Hide a Wreck from CarFax

Joseph Coupal - Thursday, January 24, 2013

I love it when people advertise their vehicle for sale "NO CARFAX HISTORY" or "CLEAN CARFAX REPORT" and they are selling a recently wrecked vehicle.

They will brandish a CARFAX REPORT on the vehicle and circle the Vehicle Identification Number and happily send you a copy via email. Indeed the CARFAX report will show that there are no accidents and no stigma history which would dramatically reduce resale value in the future.

NOTE: This is evidence for how CarFax Negatively impacts the value of a damaged vehicle – we said this before…

There is a slight problem however…

CarFax procures data from law enforcement, tow and other governmental agencies and there is a lag in time.

Example:

"Customer A" skids off road and hits a tree - a single vehicle accident. A tow is required to recover the vehicle. Police arrived on the scene and dispatched the recovery vehicle. Customer A decides to not report the accident to his insurance company and declares CLEAN CarFax. CarFax pulls data on vehicle tow from participating police municipality several weeks later and reports MAJOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT HISTORY – vehicle towed from scene.

In this example, the customer misrepresented the vehicle "knowingly" and they told you about it which takes them off the hook if you buy their vehicle in either damaged or repaired form. When the CarFax report comes through, don't be surprised - "CarFax Knows"!

DamageMAX can keep you out of harms way. Sell your wrecked vehicle fast with DamageMAX and leave the liability & disclosure compliance behind. DamageMAX will buy your wrecked vehicle for cash, wherever – whenever and give you the freedom to get a replacement vehicle and the peace of mind that you deserve after having an accident.

If you have comprehensive insurance coverage and your repairs are covered, you have the right not to repair your vehicle. You may request the settlement check and not repair the vehicle. If you wrecked your vehicle and simply just don't feel comfortable driving the car again, please consider selling your damaged vehicle to DamageMAX. DamageMAX will buy your wreck and you keep the insurance check! Thought you could not have your cake and eat it too? Not so with DamageMAX!

Vehicle Value Guidebooks and Your Wrecked Car

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, January 22, 2013

Your car has been in an accident and you need to sell your wrecked car.

How do you sell your wrecked car? Where do you start? The experts at DamageMAX can tell you where NOT to start…

Don't start with Kelley Blue Book - KBB's values are inflated specifically for Auto Dealers to use on window stickers for their used vehicle inventory. Kelley is notorious for very high retail figures that the dealer can discount deeply and make the customer feel better about the purchase price (like they got a better deal). Consider this…would you PAY Kelley Blue Book Price for a used car on a dealers lot? No! Then why would you ask Kelley Blue Book for your used car? Why emulate a process that you seek to avoid? Start high & work down? Car dealers get a bad rap for this same exact sales tactic but the average everyday person presumes to resort to the same strategy?

Folks the process is broken and due for an overhaul…

NADA Retail is more realistic and a guidebook that utilizes transactional data that comes from New Car Dealers in the US. That said, NEVER use retail as a starting point for pricing any damaged vehicle because that vehicle will never be CLEAN again, nor will it be RETAIL material.

CARFAX will show vehicle history that the vehicle has been in an accident. This is called STIGMA history and it is indeed derogatory.

Car Dealers will not want your vehicle for trade-in, and they will unfortunately avoid giving you a trade-in figure at all costs. They will have no choice but to tell you it is better to sell on your own, because the number they are forced to give you will be so low, you will most likely leave the dealership incensed. Is this the dealers fault? No. Did they treat you unfairly? Absolutely not. Your vehicle is no longer worth what it was after a collision and it never will be. No matter how much you owe, or how attached you are to your car, it's worth at least 30% less after the repairs. This is proof that DIMINISHED VALUE exists and can be substantiated in every state.

Whether your wrecked vehicle is repaired or not, the best way to trade-in the vehicle is with a firm offer from DamageMAX – the damaged vehicle experts. Our Clean-Break TIP (Trade-in Program) lets you walk away from your wrecked car and ride today in a new vehicle at any new or used vehicle dealer in the USA!

It's your right not to repair your vehicle. You may request the settlement check and not repair the vehicle. If you wrecked your car and simply just don't feel comfortable driving the car again, please consider selling or trading-in your damaged vehicle to DamageMAX. DamageMAX will buy your wreck and you keep the insurance check and ride today in a new car!
