⚠
Honest limitsWe judge only what the photos, video and documents show. We don't see, drive or lift the car, and there's no warranty of condition. Value ranges are market value opinions, not certified appraisals. Problems that don't show, or were hidden, can't be found this way. For a high-dollar car, use us to decide whether an in-person look is worth paying for.

Who we are

Every report is reviewed by an appraiser with 15 years in the trade and 5 years appraising vehicles, backed by a research desk that pulls auction comps and history. Research and drafting are AI-assisted, and an appraiser reviews, corrects and signs every report. On the buyer side we never take money from the seller of a car we review.
