TOTAL LOSS OFFERS
The insurer’s number is not final
Your insurer’s total loss offer is a software output built on comparables the carrier picked. You are entitled to your own documented opinion of actual cash value, and a certified total loss appraisal at $300 puts one on the table.
DIMINISHED VALUE
A repaired car still sells for less
Even a first rate repair leaves the accident on the vehicle’s history report, and Maine buyers discount accordingly. Diminished value measures the difference against local market data and states it clearly enough to be claimed.
MILES AND MAINTENANCE
Condition beats the odometer here
An older Maine vehicle with a documented service history and a clean underside is worth more than the mileage suggests, and a neglected one is worth less. We inspect what the photos show, record it properly, and value the car that actually exists.
WHY Maine OWNERS CHOOSE US
Long winters and long ownership.
Maine keeps its vehicles. Outside greater Portland the state is rural and spread out, dealers are further apart, and a well maintained truck or wagon often stays with one family for a decade or more. Winters put salt and sand on the roads for months at a time, so two cars with identical mileage can be in genuinely different condition underneath, and that difference is worth real money.
Because everything we do in Maine runs online, Aroostook County gets the same turnaround as Portland. You photograph the vehicle to a checklist, send the service history, and get a certified report in 24-48 hours without driving anywhere. Estate, divorce and classic appraisals work the same way.

FAQS
FAQs about vehicle appraisals in Maine
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.
