What is an Appraisal and Why Do You Need One?

An appraisal is the estimated value of property by an authorized person. If you own, a collector, antique or special automobile, a professional appraisal is essential. Not only does it give the owner the worth of his property, but it provides necessary information for insurance coverage, loan verification for financial institutions, personal property tax assessments, and valuation disputes. Our appraisal service covers all vehicles from model A's to Z-28s, street rods, race cars and your grocery getter.
