TOTAL LOSS OFFERS
The software number is not final
Your insurer’s total loss figure came out of valuation software fed by regional averages. You are entitled to your own opinion of value. We build a certified actual cash value report on your specific Iowa vehicle: its trim, its options, its condition and its mileage.
DIMINISHED VALUE
Repaired still reads as wrecked
A clean repair does not erase the accident from the vehicle history report, and Iowa buyers price that history in. A diminished value appraisal documents the gap between what your car was worth before the wreck and what it is worth after it.
STORM COUNTRY
Hail, wind and hurried offers
When a derecho or a hail line writes off half a county at once, claims get processed in bulk and the numbers get generic. An independent certified appraisal, comped to Iowa sales, is the calm way to put a specific value back on a specific vehicle.
WHY Iowa OWNERS CHOOSE US
Working vehicles in a weather exposed state.
Iowa owns a higher share of trucks, work rigs and towing capable vehicles than most of the country, and it parks a lot of them outdoors. Between the derecho, the hail belt and ninety nine counties of gravel, the average Iowa vehicle carries a service history that a national valuation table treats as background noise.
It is not noise, it is value. We comp against the Iowa market these vehicles actually trade in, from Des Moines and Cedar Rapids out to Sioux City and Dubuque. Every appraisal is built remotely from guided photos and delivered certified, in a form an adjuster or a court will accept.

FAQS
FAQs about vehicle appraisals in Iowa
Do bankruptcy courts require a professional appraisal?
Not always, but trustees can and do challenge unsupported values. A certified appraisal is the cheapest insurance against an objection that could cost far more in delays and fees.
