Before you request an appraisal
What are auto appraisals for?
An auto appraisal documents a vehicle’s value for a specific purpose and date. It can support a total loss dispute, a diminished value claim, financing, an estate, or a private transaction. Our primary focus is helping vehicle owners understand and document value in insurance matters.
How much does a car appraisal cost?
The initial case evaluation is free. The cost of an appraisal depends on the vehicle, purpose, and scope of work. Contact ProValue for a quote before authorizing a paid appraisal; a free evaluation does not mean every report or related service is free.
How long does an appraisal take?
ProValue commonly quotes 24–48 hours for vehicle appraisals, but timing depends on the assignment and receipt of the necessary information. Specialty vehicles, inspection access, or missing records can affect delivery. Confirm the expected timing when your assignment is accepted.
Is an inspection always in person?
ProValue offers both on-site and remote appraisal services. The appropriate method depends on the vehicle, the purpose of the report, available documentation, and the recipient’s requirements. The team confirms what is needed before the assignment begins.
What should I send for a total loss review?
Start with the insurer’s complete valuation report, VIN, mileage, options, and any pre-loss photographs. Maintenance records and relevant receipts can help document condition and equipment.
