As a car-guy, I highly recommend Vehicle Inspection Solutions, Inc. for automobile appraisal: Larry…read moreis so knowledgeable about rare cars that he advances comps from multiple sources and really achieved the appropriate fair market value for our total-loss car. Our insurance carrier's appraisal company originally advanced cars that appeared on their face to be comps, but in fact were entirely different models, only determined through investigation of VINs, which proved that these "comps" were neither objective nor fair. Larry spotted this and forced our carrier to hire a different appraiser; then Larry went to work to maximize our FMV and achieved a favorable result. Larry is working for your best interests, not for a fixed fee. I highly recommend Larry at Vehicle Inspection Solutions, Inc.

Short version: Neil…read moremanaged to get me a **46% increased ACV** (~$21K) for my total loss claim, and did so very quickly and efficiently. I hope I never have to use his services again but if I have to, I will 100% hire Neil again. Detailed version: A few months ago I was the victim of a hit and run accident, which ended up with my insurance declaring my car a total loss (sad moment). My insurance initially gave me a very low ACV estimate. After a couple back-and-forths with me providing a ton of comps, they did not budge. I knew I had to go the appraisal clause route. I talked to a few appraisers and Neil gained my trust just from the first phone call. Neil charged a very reasonable flat fee and after me sending him whatever supporting documents I had (car photos, service records, etc - I am reasonably organized about these things as this is an enthusiast car), Neil was able to get his appraisal done in a couple of days, all remotely. He later involved his counterparty and not long after, he notified that they had agreed to a shared ACV that matched closer to market values. I think it really helps that Neil (a) knows the industry and how other appraisers think/work and (b) is a car enthusiast so he knows how to "sell" an enthusiast car and highlight desirable features that the enthusiast market values (which was 100% the case with my car). Final verdict: If you're unfortunate to need an appraisal for total loss or diminished value, HIRE NEIL. He's awesome and I am confident that he will get you the most value possible out of a bad situation.

Neil is not only a phenomenal car appraiser, but also such a kind and wonderful human being! He…read moretruly is such a gem and his expertise is reflected not only in how he handles cases, but also how he interacts with his clients; he is so intentional, meticulous, and kindhearted. Neil handled my situation with such grace that it would be an understatement to compare him to even a gazelle. Neil is more like a tiger; ingenious, patient, cunning, efficient, and humble. My case began in September of 2025 after someone drove into my Tesla and my insurance company USAA was grossly undervaluing my vehicle. The battle with my insurance company was a long and tumultuous one; constant sleepless nights worrying about having a car and getting my car back getting consumed by stress juggling the weight of an active dispute with my insurance company while being a full time student at UCLA. I had nearly given up; no attorney would take my case to help me get the money my car was worth, the California Department of Insurance reached out to USAA on various accounts for me and my insurance company continued to issue neglectful valuations. I had lost all hope- until I stumbled upon Neil. Neil was quick to assure me that he could assist me in my case, but he was calculated and analytical- he did not rashly boast that he would get me thousands upon thousands of more dollars. It was this demeanor that was so enchanting. Neil perfectly navigated the situation and by the end of it he was able to get me more than $10,000 extra dollars for my car, while simultaneously ensuring that the salvage retention value stayed the same. Neil truly is a wizard and a car pro. I could not recommend him enough- if you are in need of a car appraisal there really is no other option besides Neil Thomas- he truly is the absolute best.

My car was parked and a driver crashed into it and totaled it. The accident was 0% my fault…read more... you'd think my insurance ( Progressive ) would fight for me and make sure I was made whole.... nope. My own insurance undervalued my vehicle, they didn't care what I had to say, they didn't care what proof of value I had. Progressive sent me a list of comps that were not comps at all, it was a list of 2wd vehicle ( my car was 4wd ) they didn't care what I said or how I said it. I was frustrated, mentally exhausted and becoming overwhelmed by it all. On a Saturday evening I sent provalue a message, they responded quickly and asked me to send my files over to them and they would look at it on Monday morning, I did and Henry called me around noon on Monday and told me I was right, I deserved more, and he would get it for me. It sounded too good to be true, it wasn't. When it was all said and done, thanks to provalue I ended up with 4k more in my bank account, THIS IS AFTER PAYING PROVALUE'S FEES 4k more, its a huge improvement, it makes a difference. I should have contacted ProValue right away, I wasted weeks thinking Progressive would fight for me.....well Progressive didn't fight for me, Progressive didn't make it right, But PROVALUE DID FIGHT FOR ME Thank you to the ProValue team!

I brought in **36.8 grams of 14K gold scrap** and was paid **$2,070** total…read more After getting home and recalculating everything, I realized the payout was extremely low compared to the estimated melt value at the time, which was around **$3,264**. That means approximately **36.6%** of the value was kept. For people who may not know: * A very fair/refiner-level buyer often keeps around **10% or less** * A decent local gold buyer usually keeps around **10-20%** * Keeping over **35%** is extremely high I do want to be fair and say this was partly my mistake because I should have slowed down and double-checked everything before agreeing. I had calculated my gold beforehand, but once the pieces started getting separated, weighed individually, and moved around during testing, I got confused and didn't stop to fully redo the math in the moment. It wasn't until I got home and sat down with the numbers that I realized how far off the payout actually was. At the same time, this is also why I personally would not return. An honest buyer who is trying to build trust and long-term customers usually does not let someone walk out with this large of a gap without at least explaining the percentages more clearly or offering something closer to a fair market payout. I'm posting this mainly as a warning for others: if you're selling gold, especially larger amounts of scrap gold, know the approximate melt value beforehand, take your time, and get multiple quotes before agreeing to anything.
