What we do

Wrecked sedan with front-end damage under inspection lighting

Total Loss Appraisal

$299

per report · Free consultation

When the insurer declares your vehicle a total loss, their valuation sets your payout. An independent appraisal documents what the vehicle was actually worth before the crash.

Classic Car & Auto Appraisal

$299

per appraisal · Free consultation

A defensible statement of value for classics, collectibles, restorations, modified vehicles, and everyday cars — for insurance, estate, donation, or sale.

Exotic Car Appraisal

$299

per appraisal · Free consultation

High-value exotics and supercars demand more than a book number. We document market value with marque-specific comparables, option and rarity analysis, and photo-documented condition.

Diminished Value Report

$309

A repaired vehicle is worth less than one that was never wrecked. A diminished value report quantifies that loss so you can claim it.

Overflow and outsourced estimating for body shops — written to industry procedures, documented for the carrier, and managed through supplement approval.

Why an independent appraiser

The insurer's number is not the only number

Carrier valuation reports are built from their own data. An independent appraisal gives you a documented second opinion you can put on the table.

Documentation that holds up

Photo evidence, comparable market research, and clearly stated methodology — formatted for the appraisal clause, an umpire, or an attorney.

Repair-side experience

Decades of collision repair background means damage, procedures, and supplements are read accurately, not guessed at.

Who we work with

Accuracy and experience, delivered to every side of a claim.

Vehicle owners

You get an advocate, not a sales pitch. We educate you on what your vehicle and claim are actually worth, so you are never pushed into accepting an undervalued payout.

Insurance companies

You get accuracy you can rely on. Our valuations and reports follow documented methodology and real market data, so settlements move faster with less dispute.

Body shops

You get experienced estimating capacity. OEM procedures, justified supplements, and turnaround that protects your cycle time.

Expert witness & umpire services

Available upon request for attorneys, appraisers, and carriers. Call for pricing.
