I contacted RJ at Wreck Tech after doing a google search. I had been fighting with State Farm for over a month on the Cash Value of our 2019 Honda CRV. I believed that State Farm was coming in about $1500 too low. When I contacted RJ, I was informed that State Farm should be using the value of the car at the date of the accident (almost 1-year back). He did a quick check and thought the Cash Value should be at least $5000 more. I hired Wreck Check and received an appraisal about 1-week later. Then State Farm contacted me about 4-days later with a settlement that was $6500 more. The process with Wreck Check exceeded all of my expectations, and I would highly recommend RJ and his team.

Wreck Check is A#1 in my opinion. They delivered a fair payout from my insurance company, Liberty Mutual; that I would not have received without them. I was originally offered $1440 in the diminished value claim that I sought. Wreck Check could only get “their” representative to offer as high as $5500. By being patient and going through the process, which did require patience and persistence on my part; they were able to send the case to a fair umpire and get my payout to $7350. Now… I wouldn’t do myself what they did for only $450. Wreck Check was always available to take my calls, and some long periods of no communication occurred in this process. It’s because there was no new news to be had. Insurance companies and their representatives will stall the process and argue their side until many customers get totally frustrated and give up. That’s where a little patience pays for its self. Thank you to Peyton, Penny, and RJ from the Wreck Check staff that earned every dime they were payed!!! I “HIGHLY” will recommend your services to anyone looking not to get cheated by their insurance company!!! Again… Thank You!!!

My Wife was involved in a wreck where another driver ran a red light. Fortunately, no one was hurt. We found out that the other driver’s insurance was with the same company as ours, not the best of situations. We fully expected our 6-month-old car would be declared as a total loss. Our insurance company insisted on repairing it – they spent well over $38,000 on repairs. Leaving us with a car that had a value significantly lower than on the day of the wreck. The 17c (Georgia law) offer for diminished value was unacceptable. I checked around and found RJ at Wreck Check Atlanta. RJ provided us with a comprehensive and detailed adjustor’s report. RJ suggested a Lawyer and we proceeded to sue our insurance company. The case never got to court. They settled base, solely, on the strength of RJ’s report. Great report, great service and well worth the money for his professionally produced report.

Rj was great, he has a great team behind him. Brittany always answered the phone and any questions I had even if they were redundant to information that had already been sent. Rj did his job to the tee USAA offered me a mere 1300 dollars on a 2018 Audi that had 20,000 dollars worth of damage and after Rj did his thing we settled for over 11,000. Rj is a great family man and you can tell he does this job truly to help others thank you again.

Let's make this quick and to the point. If you are involved in an accident, you should trust no one other than Wreck Check Atlanta and RJ Sweeney to handle your diminished value claim. RJ was very clear in his communication and composed a thoughtful and thorough presentation outlining and documenting his claim to my insurance company. When my insurance company rendered their decision, RJ promptly advised me that he felt I was owed more, and directed to me to an independent umpire. When the umpire rendered his decision, RJ sent me a follow up email outlining how I should proceed. He was there for me through every step of the process. Recovering what I was owed was a lengthy and complicated process. RJ took all of the guesswork out of the diminished value aspect of my claim. I would 10 out of 10 recommend RJ Sweeney and Wreck Check Atlanta. He is truly an expert in his field.

Wow! I never knew anything about Diminished Value Disputes prior and I was given RJ's name after my daughter was in a not-at-fault accident in her brand new, 1 week old car. Her first big purchase as an adult. RJ walked us through initiating the dispute and then he took over and got us exactly what he said he was. Almost 7 times more than what the insurance was willing to pay. I have already told everyone I know that he is their guy if the get into in accident. Hopefully we won't need him again but we know who to call. Thank you RJ for everything you have done for us and making the process so effortless on our end.

I don’t recommend RJ Sweeney I personally spent hours with the dept of justice explaining his behavior towards a disabled veteran. He brags and breaks the privacy act what he gets others in their settlement which at no time did my client release that. Also, he is very unprofessional and thinks he is educated. I wouldn’t recommend this young man they went on vacation and the umpire rendered his decision prior to any negations he lost over 12k my client because of RJ Sweeney lack of interest due to his own personal family vacation. He took it knowing he was going on vacation instead of turning it down to a real public adjuster with experience. Please stay away from this company and the owner.

I don’t recommend this business at all RJ a claimed to know the umpire and get my claim processed. He couldn’t even get a half way point and also has no respect for disabled veterans. He still owes me 150 for taking my money for the insurance payment to the umpire I had to call Wells Fargo PayPal and two other agencies go to a real public adjuster not one that goes on vacation and let’s the umpire do as he wants. He blames the umpire and the insurance company he went on vacation and before he returned Monday the umpire made his decision don’t waste your money with this public adjuster go with someone more reputable and professional.

RJ is very knowledgeable. He walked me through getting a settlement when the insurance company wanted to play hardball. He was with me every step of the way. He is always available to answer questions and explain the process. Each time I contacted him either by phone or email he responded immediately. I would recommend him if you need a third party appraisal. He was great to work with. I knew nothing about diminished value so I researched and I found his company. Give him a call if you need help with a Diminished Value claim. He will work hard to get you a fair settlement

I normally don't have time to write reviews but RJ was so efficient I had to share with the world so others can know this is the right person for this job. After payment I received my appraisal with supporting documents then RJ guided me through dealing with the insurance company. After following his guidance I was offered $3,800 in less than a month. Initially, the insurance appraiser offered a lower number but RJ negotiated a higher number for me. So yes he negotiates the best price for you. I had no idea about Diminished Value and I am happy I googled and found this company. Look no further if you are unsure about who to trust in this process. Thanks, I will share the amazing work you do with others as much as possible. I love getting what I deserve from the INSURANCE Company.

RJ went above and beyond to exceed even my wildest expectations to an extent I didn't know was possible. From the moment he answered my initial call to the last emails with my insurance company, he made me feel as if I was his number one priority. He never wavered when it came to facing down obstacless and roadblocks set in our path by a greedy insurance company, laser focused on paying me as little as possible by using unethical and shady business practices. I paid RJ 300 dollars for his services, and he made me over $5,000 in the span of less than a week. My. Insurance company was trying to give me less than 25k for my total loss BMW. I knew I was being taken advantage of, but they just blew me off when I called them out on it with factual information. I felt helpless. Then I found Wreck Check Atlanta and RJ Sweeney. Easily one of the best decisions I ever made was to make that call and retain his services. I can't thank him enough for what he did to help me and my family navigate such a stressfull time and come out the other side better and happier than before. Can't recommend this company enough, honestly.

RJ was very thorough, helpful, punctual, and professional helping me with the appraisal and insurance submission instructions. He ended up helping me negotiate a $7,500 settlement for diminished value of my vehicle. I would recommend him highly to anyone needing the same services, and would most definitely hire him again. Thank you for your help, RJ!

I was hit from behind at a stoplight in my Lexus SUV. The other driver was at fault but his insurance company was only paying me $1,000 for the diminished value. So, the Lexus repair shop gave me Wreck Check Atlanta number and I called RJ to do a diminished value report so I could get more money. RJ helped me throughout the entire process and provided me attorney name and number who does diminished value cases. I settled outside of court for $6,000. Having the diminished value report done made the difference in my case. When it comes to diminished value on vehicles the person and company you want to hire is RJ Sweeney’s Wreck Check Atlanta Company. Thank you, RJ, for all the help you provided me during my case! Best Regards, John M

So, let me first start by saying that I've never had a to do an insurance claim with a diminished value provision, but there's a first time for everything. I didn't know where to start, but I did know there were laws in Georgia that supported diminished value for your vehicle damaged in an accident. I went online and began doing research and that's how I found Wreck Check Atlanta. Lucky me! RJ is the consummate professional. His exceptional experience in working with the insurance companies and knowledge of the industry is what sets him apart from EVERYONE else. He made the process super simple. I reached out to him and he called me back promptly. He sent over an email requesting all the info he needed to start my case. I submitted the info, paid a small fee and he RJ went to work. It was worth every cent! He handled everything and kept in close contact with me throughout the process. He also advised me on how to communicate with my insurance company. It was just incredible and amazingly comforting, especially for someone who had never done this before. RJ nearly tripled the amount my insurance company initially offered me. If that doesn't convince you he's the right choice, nothing will. Don't waste your time with other companies. Wreck Check Atlanta IS the choice. RJ's knowledge, experience, professionalism, guidance and care sets him apart from all the others. Don't look any further...he's the best. Thank you, RJ!!

I was referred to Wreck Check Atlanta thru my brother who had a similar issue in getting his Diminished Value after an accident. I spoke to RJ at Wreck Check Atlanta & he helped me through the process. He was courteous & very knowledgable & up-front, his communication to me was very prompt in keeping me informed, he educated me of how the process works & I couldn't be more pleased of his tenacity to work toward a feasible resolve...all at a price that is more than worth it. I will not hesitate to refer all my family & friends to him in obtaining Diminished Value(DV). There may be others that may be able to get DV, but if you're reading this YOU CAN STOP SEARCHING & GO WITH RJ @ WRECK CHECK ATLANTA.

It went perfectly, RJ was able to get me 50% more of what insurance was offering. Don’t negotiate with any insurance. They will low ball you every single time. It’s standard procedure not to get you what your entitle to. Call wreck Atlanta RJ will help you.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Wreck Check and RJ. When one my friends referred me to RJ, I wasn’t sure if I would get the right value with Wreck check as there were quite a few cost effective providers. But let me tell you one thing - my decision to go with him really fetched me more than expected outcomes/results. RJ is one of the very few in the industry who understands the business and ecosystem pretty well, has an ability to effectively negotiate with various insurance provider and keeps the interests of the client ahead of anything else. He was very proactive in his communication, provided me timely advice whenever I was stuck along the process and helped arrive at a favourable outcome for me quite too soon. I would highly recommend RJ and Wreck Check for anyone who are seeking for these services in and around Atlanta

RJ was fantastic and brought a satisfactory result with my insurance company whom refused to settle for an acceptable amount for my car that was stolen. In less that 2 weeks Wreck Check was successful in providing an acceptable offer. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RJ and his services.

I contacted Wreck Check Atlanta when I reached a dead end in my attempt to get my insurance company to pay me fair market value for my Audi which was totaled in an accident. The adjuster was very rude and did not even consider my research, which showed that I could not replace my car with a similar model anywhere near the advertised prices, within a 500 mile radius. He basically said take it or leave it. He even decided that he would cut off my rental car payment now since he had determined what he would pay me for my car. Frustrated and on the verge of panic I did a Google search of automobile appraisers and found Wreck Check Atlanta. I immediately called and talked with RJ. After telling him my predicament, he told me that they were indeed under valuing my car. He told me how he could help me and his services would cost me $300.00. I thought about it and was wondering if it was worth it to pay him this amount in advance. Could he really help me? I reluctantly sent him the $300.00. I contacted the adjuster and told him that i was turning my case over to Wreck Check. I could tell that the adjusters tone was different after I told him this. He tried to convince me that I was wasting my time and that his offer would not change. Well wouldn't you know it, things changed after a few days when RJ got on the case. I don't know what he said or did to get that adjuster to budge but he eventually got me a settlement $4000,00 higher than what was offered. WOW! To say that I was initially worried about the $300.00 dollar fee is obvious, but believe me... it was worth it. I even offered him a bonus but he refused to take it. Now that is integrity, If you are being bullied by your insurance company, take my advice, don't think twice. call Wreck Check for a bigger check.
