Appraisals

We offer Insurance Valuation Appraisals for classic cars of all makes.
Bob DeShane has written hundreds of appraisals for satisfied owners over the last twenty or so years. We provide multi-page reports that describe in detail every aspect of the vehicle condition complete with multiple colour photographs.

The process of carefully creating and assembling a good appraisal that will be accepted by insurance companies takes time. Generally, it is best to do the preliminary work out of doors or where adequate room and lighting is available to fascilitate the capture of complimentary photographs. Additionally, we gather current pertinent information and if available, we like to include historical references, where fitting and available such as restoration information and dates. Once we have everything that we need, more time is spent in our office while we assemble the finished report.

Our standard reporting practice provides for one client's copy nicely bound and one unbound copy for the Insurance Broker. We will also provide digital copies and even correspond directly with the Insurer on your behalf, if requested.
The pricing for our appraisal service is reasonable in keeping with current generally accepted fees and reflective of the effort and value provided. Currently, our fee is $200 at our shop. We will travel if requested.
