Insurance Vehicle Appraisal
Whether you're setting coverage or challenging a claim, an independent appraisal gives you documented, defensible value — free of any insurer's incentive to keep the number low.
Overview
Insurers rely on valuation tools built for volume, not for your specific vehicle. That's fine for a routine claim and a real problem for a modified, collector, or well-kept vehicle worth more than the software says.
Mike's independent appraisal documents true value with market evidence, giving you the leverage to secure proper coverage or a fair settlement.
When you need a vehicle appraisal
- Establishing an agreed value before you need it
- Disputing an underpaid or lowball claim settlement
- Insuring a modified, collector, or specialty vehicle
- Providing your carrier with independent documentation
