5.5 weeks ago I was in a collision that caused severe damage to my well maintained Lexus. The insurance company had declared the vehicle a total loss three days later. They offered a low ball settlement and it was not sitting well in my head. As I was researching recourse and trying to prove that I was owed more for my vehicle than the insurance company was offering, I learned about the appraisal clause in many policies. Searching the internet I found Classic Auto Appraisals 122 S. Michigan Avenue #1390 Chicago, IL 60603. Tony the owner is truly an expert at his craft and really de-escalated this very stressful situation for me. I am dealing with several injuries and emotional stress. Tony and his team achieved a fair settlement and lifted a very heavy weight off of my shoulders. I would recommend their service 100% and have a very high level of confidence in their abilities. Thank you, Tony! I am so grateful for your service. read more

OMG! I'm blown away with Tony and Classic Auto Appraisal. I had my truck stolen and GEICO offered me a ridiculously low settlement. I exercised my appraisal option in my policy and found Tony. He immediately started to work fighting relentlessly for 3 weeks to work with the ins. Companies appraiser to get me every penny I deserved. While at the same time giving me advise on how to talk to and what to ask for from the insurance adjuster. Ultimately I received over $10,000 above the initial offer. Tony is THE best. read more

I have to give a shout out and 5 star review for Chicago Classic Car Appraisers: The Classic Auto Appraisal team helped me settle with my insurance company. After a month long saga of trying to deal with my insurance company, the CAA team helped me appraise and then arbitrate for the value of my vehicle. When it was all said and done the CAA team helped me obtain DOUBLE the value the insurance company claimed the 'market value of my vehicle' was worth. Thank you CAA team. I highly recommend this service for anyone experiencing claim/appraisal issues with their insurance company. read more

Tony helped me with an insurance company that was screwing me over. Yes the appraisal is not cheap but when you get back $6K more because he went the distance it is worth every penny. Thank you so much for your hard work, keeping in touch and letting me know what was going on. Thx Dave K read more

Paid for an appraisal took way to long to get it done. The appraisal report can pretty much be done by yourself and you can save your self from paying 370 and when I paid the first time I got charged twice which was an inconvenience. Sent it to the insurance and only got offered 500 which it's pretty much a useless service to even pay for, your better off doing everything yourself. read more

This past fall, I worked with Anthony at Classic Auto Appraisals to represent me on a claim with Progressive auto insurance. I was involved in an auto accident in a no-fault state (Minnesota) that resulted in a total loss of my vehicle. After a few weeks of haggling with Progressive, the highest amount they offered was roughly $1,000 less than what I thought the car was worth. As a result, I executed the mediation clause of my policy and hired Anthony as my independent appraiser. Although it took a few weeks to settle, Anthony negotiated a final settlement $2,000 above what I thought the car was worth ... and $3,000 above their highest offer. read more

I just had the most amazing experience with Tony and felt compelled to share. Tony really looked out for me when the insurance company tried to hustle me cutting me a check for nearly $10k less than my car's value. Tony was so well experienced and so helpful he answered all of my questions every step of the way and really thoroughly analyzed my vehicles value via surprisingly comprehensive process, the other side had no option but to agree. I am SO GLAD I called Tony, it would have been a very expensive mistake not to! He was alwyas there when I had questions and even referred me to a better insurance company in the end where I would receive not only better service and protection but pay LESS MONEY. AS GOOD AS IT GETS, I am very lucky to have had Tony looking out for me! Exceptional quality, value and great guidance, thanks Tony!!! read more

Tony saved my car from being a total damage over a minor fender bender! Insurance company's do not consider the amount of money u have in ur classic and will try to screw u...tony u rock! read more

Tony did a great job, he increased the insurance payment on my 2006 lexus by $2500. I would definitely recommend.

Classic Auto Appraisals and Tony did a phenomenal job. When you are being fleeced by your own auto insurance company, especially with a total loss claim, who can you call? Insurance companies have deep pockets and lots of lawyers, so they can wait to pay your claim, or NOT pay it altogether. Why do you think they have such huge estates and buildings that could be small cities? They take your money and keep it. If you hire Tony, you will be successful in getting what is owed to you by the insurance companies. Don't despair, TONY IS THERE! He went out to the auto pound and examined my vehicle and worked with the insurance company's appraiser. He is a consummate, experienced professional. And on top of it, he is genuinely a NICE guy, which is an added plus when your own insurance company is trying to rip you off. GREAT SERVICE! I highly recommend Tony and Classic Auto. read more
