Have you had your vehicle repaired at a repair facility and now it does not work or perform the way it did before the work was performed?

Did you pay some shop to fix your vehicle, and the result was a vehicle that acted completely different from when it went in for service and not in a good way?

Did you pay a shop to work on your vehicle and they wrecked the car while it was in for service?

You can just lie down and accept the situation, or you can contact us and discuss the condition. We can determine a course of action and arrange to inspect the vehicle to determine the cause and extent of the recent repair work that went sick. Then a repair plan and course of action to resolve the complaint can be created.

These appraisals are done when the vehicle is involved in a dispute and the vehicle is not readily available or is no longer available at all.

These are often done for clients in and outside the state of Illinois. These appraisals are often done first and the vehicle inspected at a later point in time, if it is still on the planet. Forensic appraisals begin at $400.00 and are charged at $250.00 per hour. These appraisals can often be concluded for around $1,500.00.

As a certified personal property appraiser, we have the resources and experience to prepare a valuation appraisal report tailored to your specific needs.
