Key Appraisal Needs:

Estate and probate valuations
Pre-purchase inspections before you make an offer

We offer extremely thorough in-person appraisals for classic and custom cars and trucks, hot rods, and resto-mods. Why use a service that has little, if any, knowledge of collector cars or todays classic car market? It doesn't make sense. You've spent a lot of money on your ride, now protect it with a proper appraisal. If a hurricane destroys your six figure ride and your insurance company wants you to settle for half, you'll wish you'd gotten an appraisal.
