MY INSPECTION - APPRAISAL SERVICE:

I have decided to set up this web site because of the growing National and International demand for my Inspection and Appraisal Service. I provide very comprehensive written and photographic reports of inspections for all kinds of vehicles, either in free trade or on auction - including but not limited to Classic Cars, Muscle cars, Antiques and Special Interest vehicles. Because of the Internet's anonymity the demand for fast and ACCURATE pre-purchase inspections of vehicles has risen dramatically. No wonder, prices for Classic cars have risen exponentially and an equal increase in fraud was just a matter of time.

I also provide appraisals for domestic Insurance applications. For most insurance policies an Actual Cash Value appraisal is required every 5 years or an interval according to their guidelines. My Reports can also be used for estate planning or settlement, theft, accidents, charitable donations, divorce settlements and taxation purposes. I will make sure to state the fair, exact replacement value of your vehicle based on the quality of the car and parts/services used.

Unfortunately some cases end up in Court where technical aspects of Vehicles are under scrutiny and I would be available to provide this service in US Courts. I have worked for and with European Customs to apply forensic methods to determine the origin of certain questionable VIN's in vehicles to be registered. I have pretty much seen it all so little throws me off anymore.

I get my main business from pre-purchase inspections for buyers who may be considering a vehicle and are uncertain of the condition, originality or true value. This can be either a buyer who is NOT knowledgable enough or lives too far away from California to check the vehicle himself.

Is the vehicle a bondo bomber?

Does the VIN belong to this car?

Did the car have any significant accidents in the past and if so, how well was it fixed?

Is the car REALLY a numbers matching car?

Does the car represents the price the seller is asking?

Just send me out with a few days advance notice! I'm very easy to work with and I'll work with you to set up an appointment that suits both you and the seller. I strongly suggest this service, just look at my testimonials page! You would NOT be the first one who got taken in a long distancew deal and the fun of owning a classic car goesd down the drain! Especially with cars like these:
