Independent Automobile Appraisers – it is an industry that has changed but, regrettably, not for the better and definitely not for the benefit of auto owners like you and I. From small-operators to companies that offer nationwide service, many independents court insurance companies as clients rather than private parties. One may concede that it makes perfect fiduciary sense. Once they land a big fish like Allstate, State Farm or Progressive, a steady income is virtually guaranteed. Making the job even more desirable is that these appraisers can produce “computerized” valuation and diminished value reports based on formulas, algorithms, valuation guidebooks such as NADA or, in many cases, simply offer their “expert” opinions. What is most interesting, however, is that those independent appraisal firms that accept assignments from private parties in valuation or diminished value disputes use the same shoddy, invalid methodologies simply because it requires minimal effort.

TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS ALWAYS FREE-OF-CHARGE
While it takes less than ten minutes to prepare a vehicle valuation report or diminished value appraisal using a formula, an independent appraisal company that performs actual research such as obtaining professional opinions from multiple new car dealers can spend hours arriving at a quantifiable figure. The St. Lucie Appraisal Company is one such independent auto, truck, RV and motorcycle appraiser that does just that.
