Vehicle Appraisal Services

After a collision, a repaired car is usually worth less than an identical car that was never damaged — insurers call this diminished value, and their first number is rarely calculated in your favor. We inspect the vehicle, document the accident history, and produce a defensible appraisal you can submit to the at-fault driver's insurer.

This appraisal is built for a specific accident claim. If your car hasn't been in an accident, it isn't the right service for you.

When an insurer declares your car a total loss, their settlement offer comes from their own database, not an inspection of your specific vehicle. We appraise your car directly — condition, mileage, options, and local market comparables — and give you a report you can use to negotiate or formally dispute the offer.

If you already agree with your insurer's number, you don't need this.

Whether you're buying, selling, financing, or just want a defensible number for your records, we inspect the vehicle — remotely in most cases, in person when the situation calls for it — and provide a written valuation based on its actual condition, mileage, and current market comparables, not a generic pricing-guide estimate.

If your situation is more specific — an accident, a total loss, or a classic car — one of our specialized appraisal types will fit better and may be faster.

Classic vehicles rarely fit the pricing tools built for daily drivers — condition, originality, documentation, and rarity all move the number. We appraise the vehicle remotely in most cases, in person when the situation calls for it, and provide a report suited for insurance scheduling, estate and probate matters, financing, or a sale.

If your vehicle is a standard late-model car, our general Vehicle Appraisal will be faster and less expensive.

When a claim dispute goes to appraisal, each side hires its own appraiser, and the two work to agree on a value — with a neutral umpire stepping in only if they can't. We act as your appraiser in that process: inspecting the vehicle, documenting condition and comparables, and representing your number through to resolution.

This is for a claim that's already reached the appraisal-clause stage. If you haven't yet disputed your insurer's offer, start with a Diminished Value or Total Loss appraisal instead.

Heavy equipment holds value differently than passenger vehicles — hours of use, maintenance history, and attachment configuration all matter more than mileage. We inspect the equipment on site and provide a written valuation for insurance, financing, a sale, or a dispute.

If you're appraising a passenger car or truck, our Vehicle Appraisal is the right fit instead.

RVs combine a vehicle and a living space, and standard auto pricing guides only account for one of those. We inspect the chassis, mechanical systems, and interior condition together and provide a valuation for insurance, financing, a sale, or a dispute.

If you're appraising a standard car or truck rather than a motorhome or towable, our Vehicle Appraisal fits better.

Low production numbers, specialized parts, and a thin resale market mean exotic vehicles need an appraiser who actually knows the segment, not a generic pricing guide. We appraise the vehicle remotely in most cases, in person when the situation calls for it, and provide a report suited for insurance scheduling, financing, or a sale.

If your vehicle is a standard production car, our general Vehicle Appraisal will be faster and less expensive.

Motorcycles depreciate and hold value on a different curve than cars, and condition matters even more given how visible wear is on a bike. We inspect the motorcycle remotely in most cases, in person when the situation calls for it, and provide a written valuation for insurance, financing, a sale, or a dispute.

If you're appraising a car, truck, or RV rather than a motorcycle, choose the matching appraisal type instead.
