PEMCO CCC Report
Received a PEMCO CCC Report and concerned about your vehicle’s value? Get expert help reviewing the comparables, adjustments, and vehicle details before accepting your settlement.
Understanding the Valuation Behind Your PEMCO Settlement
After PEMCO determines that a vehicle is a total loss, one of the most important steps is establishing what that vehicle was worth immediately before the loss.
If your claim includes a CCC vehicle valuation report, that report contains much of the information used to support the estimated market value.
Instead of looking only at the final settlement figure, it’s worth examining the details behind it. Vehicle specifications, mileage, equipment, comparable vehicles, and adjustments can all influence the result.
Understanding those details gives you a better basis for deciding whether the valuation appears reasonable or deserves further review.
What Should You Look for in a PEMCO CCC Report?
A valuation report contains a lot of information, but several areas deserve particular attention.
Vehicle Identification
Confirm that the year, make, model, trim, drivetrain, and other specifications accurately describe your vehicle.
Mileage & Equipment
Check the recorded mileage and make sure important factory-installed options and packages are properly represented.
Comparable Vehicles
Review the vehicles used as market comparisons. A strong comparable should reasonably match your vehicle in the characteristics that affect value.
Valuation Adjustments
Differences between your vehicle and the comparables may result in adjustments. Understanding these adjustments can help explain why the final value differs from the advertised prices you see in the report.
Final Market Value
The final figure should make sense when considered alongside the vehicle information, comparables, and adjustments used to develop it.
Why Your PEMCO Valuation May Deserve a Closer Look
A settlement can appear detailed and professional while still leaving legitimate questions about how well the underlying data represents your particular vehicle.
Some areas worth investigating include:
A Different Trim or Configuration
Two vehicles from the same model year can have substantially different values because of trim, drivetrain, engine, or equipment differences.
Missing Factory Options
If valuable factory packages or equipment aren’t properly accounted for, the report may not present a complete picture of your vehicle.
Poorly Matched Comparables
Vehicles with significantly different mileage, equipment, condition, or configurations may provide weaker evidence of your vehicle’s market value.
Adjustments That Need Explanation
If an adjustment meaningfully reduces the valuation, you should understand what it represents and how it was applied.
Market Evidence That Doesn’t Line Up
If similar vehicles in your relevant market consistently show different values, it may be worth investigating why the report reached its conclusion.
None of these automatically proves the valuation is incorrect. They are simply areas that deserve careful review before accepting a settlement.

How Comparable Vehicles Affect Your PEMCO Valuation
Comparable vehicles can have a major influence on the value shown in your report. But a vehicle shouldn’t be considered a strong match simply because it shares the same make, model, and year.
When reviewing comparables, important differences can include:
- Trim level and configuration
- Mileage
- Engine and drivetrain
- Factory packages and equipment
- Vehicle condition
- Geographic market
- Overall similarity to your vehicle
The adjustments applied to those differences also matter. A useful valuation should provide market evidence that reasonably represents the vehicle you owned before the loss.
Before Accepting the Settlement, Check These Details
You don’t need to understand every line of the report to perform a useful initial review. Start with the details most likely to influence value.
Is Your Vehicle Described Correctly?
Verify the trim, mileage, drivetrain, engine, and other specifications.
Are Your Options Accounted For?
Check for factory packages and equipment that distinguish your vehicle from lower-equipped versions.
Do the Comparables Make Sense?
Look at how closely each vehicle actually matches yours rather than focusing only on its advertised price.
Are the Adjustments Reasonable?
Review adjustments involving mileage, equipment, condition, and other differences.
Does the Final Value Match the Evidence?
Step back and consider whether the report as a whole supports the value assigned to your vehicle.
If several areas don’t seem to line up, a professional review can help provide clarity.
What Can You Do If the Valuation Seems Too Low?
If you disagree with your PEMCO total loss valuation, start by identifying why rather than simply requesting a higher amount.
For example, you may find an incorrect trim level, missing factory equipment, inaccurate mileage, or comparable vehicles that don’t closely represent yours.
Document the specific concern and gather relevant information that supports your position. Depending on the issue, you may be able to ask PEMCO to review or correct the valuation.
If a meaningful disagreement over vehicle value remains, an independent appraisal may be another option. Your policy may also contain an appraisal clause that outlines a process for resolving valuation disputes.
This is a good place to internally link to your PEMCO Appraisal Clause page.

Frequently Asked Questions About PEMCO CCC Reports
A CCC Report is a vehicle valuation report that may be used during a PEMCO total loss claim. It brings together information about your vehicle and relevant market data to help establish an estimated value.
Comparable vehicles provide market evidence for estimating what a similar vehicle may be worth. The usefulness of those comparisons depends on how closely they match your vehicle in trim, mileage, equipment, condition, and other value-related characteristics.
Advertised prices and calculated vehicle values aren't necessarily the same. Differences in mileage, equipment, condition, location, and adjustments can affect the comparison. If the difference is significant, reviewing the underlying data can help explain why.
If you disagree with the valuation, you can raise specific concerns and provide supporting evidence. If the disagreement over value remains unresolved, an independent appraisal or other options available under your policy may be worth considering.
Yes. We can independently review the report, evaluate the vehicle information and market evidence, and explain whether there are meaningful valuation concerns that deserve further attention.
