CLASSIC VEHICLE APPRAISALS
Record the value of your vehicle with the insurance company
We can help you.
Read More...There are several classic car insurance companies, not just one. Make sure that you go with an insurance company that requires a written appraisal for your vehicle. That way the insurance company has a record on file as to the condition, options, modifications and value of your precious vehicle. I have been doing classic car appraisals for over 20 years and know how the insurance companies work. Once your car is stolen and burnt or loaded on to a container headed for overseas markets, there is no way of proving to the insurance company what your vehicle looked like, or its condition if it is not first verified with a full written appraisal done by an independent appraiser.
Classic car Insurance companies that do not require an appraisal usually have a much higher yearly premium to accommodate the losses that they may incur due to the absence of a recorded appraisal. If you have ever had an accident or have ever had a car written off that is not a classic vehicle, you know how hard it is to argue with the insurance company as to what the vehicle looked like. It is imperative to protect your precious vehicle with a written recorded vehicle appraisal.
Qualifications
There are many individuals who claim to be appraisers or claim that they know all there is to know about classic vehicles. Make sure that you get an appraisal from someone that is accredited and has credentials and experience in the automotive industry. Many insurance companies will not accept an appraisal unless it is from someone who has credibility in the insurance industry.
We have over 40 years of experience in the automotive industry with experience in automotive repairs, in the body shop industry, classic vehicle resale market, classic automotive importation, and in the automotive insurance claim industry.
We are professional, precise, experienced, honourable, and pay attention to detail.
Procedure
We will come out to inspect your vehicle and record the information of the interior, exterior, and drive train and take the necessary pictures. This procedure usually takes about 30 minutes. The vehicle information and a cover letter with the pictures, is then generated into a report that is sent to you for review, and is then sent to the insurance company for review.
In the chart below is a sample or rough guide as to what the insurance premiums are for classic cars per year and over a five year period.
