Christiansburg and Blacksburg are in the New River Valley, west of Roanoke. Call to schedule an inspection, and if a trip doesn't make sense, Geoff can start from your photos and estimates.
Christiansburg is the county seat of Montgomery County, and neighboring Blacksburg is home to Virginia Tech. I-81 and US 460 connect the two towns to Roanoke, and the area has a large student population.
Many newer cars here are leased or financed. A diminished value claim may still be possible, but the leasing company or lender may have a say. See our guide on diminished value for leased vehicles.
Three sides to every claim. I've worked all of them. Geoffrey C. Albach has spent 33 years in the industry as an independent appraiser, a former insurance staff adjuster, and a collision repair operations director.
