Total Loss Appraisal Clause. Getting Your Real Market Value.

We don’t just write a Total Loss Fair Market Value appraisal like some companies. Our Total Loss auto appraiser will also negotiate with your insurance company’s appraiser to get a fair value for your totaled vehicle. This is included in the price of your appraisal, you won’t be upsold later on like some companies. ALERT! If you pay for an appraisal, and the appraiser charges you an additional amount to negotiate the claim, you may only be reimbursed for the cost of the appraisal only. That’s why we include claim negotiation at no additional charge with all of our total loss appraisals.

Only Works For Consumers

No conflict of interest here. While other appraisal companies may claim to work only for consumers, we really do. We only work for consumers, not insurance companies. I’ll state my reputation on that. – Ken Nix

Detailed Specs

In Oregon and Washington, if you feel you’ve been offered an unfair amount, you’ll normally have an appraisal clause in your policy that allows you to dispute their offer. The appraisal clause allows you to hire an independent auto appraiser to produce an appraisal and your insurance company will also have to hire an independent auto appraiser to produce one for them. The two auto appraisers will negotiate the value between them, if they can not come to an agreement, then an Umpire will decide which appraisal is more credible.

In Oregon, if we increase the value by one cent more than the last offer your insurance company offered you, they have to reimburse you for the cost of the appraisal.

If your claim is with your insurer, you may have the right to an appraisal if your policy
includes an appraisal provision. Your insurer must reimburse your reasonable
appraisal costs if the final appraised value is greater than the insurer’s last offer. This
provision applies to all new policyholders on or after January 1, 2010 and to current
policyholders upon the first renewal of their policy that occurs on or after January 1,
2010. Ask your claims adjuster or the Insurance Division for more information.

Lowball offers from CCC One are more common than you may think. In the case of Buratovich v. Farmers Insurance, documents obtained during discovery, reflected that Farmers Insurance had selected CCC One solely due to it’s evaluations having the lowest payout in regards to a Total Loss Claim. CCC has also recently come under fire in Georgia where consumer advocates claim they have substantially lower valuations than other companies.If your car, truck, RV, motorcycle, or other wheeled vehicle has been totaled, before you accept the insurance company’s total loss offer, you should speak to an Auto Appraiser.

There have also been several Class Action Lawsuits filed regarding Mitchell / J. D. Powers and Associates Total Loss Valuation Methods. This valuation has been involved in several cases where consumers have sought class action lawsuits against State Farm and Progressive for using Mitchell and J.D. Powers valuations.

Ken Nix from Leverage Auto Appraisas is the man!!! He was able to negotiate a fair price for my totaled Toyota Tundra, he made a terrifying and stressful process look easy by doing the work with my insurance.
Ken made sure insurance don’t keep your money, highly recommend using Ken for your appraisal needs, he will deliver.
Insurance Offer: $16,296.00
Settlement: $20,600.00
Increase: $4,304.00
I meant to do this a couple months ago, but if you ever are looking to invoke the appraisal clause with your insurance definitely get ahold of Ken!! He got me close to $4K more than what insurance was wanting me to accept. I will say be patient (I was not good at this), communication can be sparse, but he is very busy and has reasons. Thank you Ken!!
I was working with State Farm insurance, and received an appraisal from CCC for $13,400 for my 2013 Sienna. The car only had 1 only owner before me and was declared a total loss. I gave Ken a call and he let me know that they were way under evaluating my vehicle like I suspected. He worked with my insurance and in about a week he had gotten me from that $13,400.00 up to $19,600.00. Absolutely worth every penny Ken was fantastic to work with. Definitely recommend his services to anyone who has a totaled vehicle. Per Oregon law if the appraisal that you get from Ken or any other appraisal company is a penny over what the insurance company’s first appraisal of your vehicle your insurance company is liable to pay Ken’s fee. So overall, you’re basically getting a fantastic free service and more value for your vehicle. I hope I don’t ever total another vehicle but if I do, I’m calling Ken.
Having to go all the way to getting an appraisal was not something I wanted to do. But when my Insurance company low balled me and would not budge, I reach out to Ken.
He was great to work with and helped explain the process.
I was able to get over 10% more for my total loss claim thanks to Ken's work.
After my daughter was in an accident in our Mini Countryman, the insurance company low-balled the total-loss payout for our fully insured vehicle. Unfortunately, this seems to be standard practice. We were forced to hire an appraiser to exercise the legally mandated appraisal clause in our policy to recover the disputed value amount. I was fortunate enough to connect with Ken at Leverage Auto Appraisals. Ken has been doing this a long time--he knows where all the bones are buried (as they say), his process is refined, he's personable, friendly and he devotes a lot of attention to his cases. Ken increased the payout I received from the insurance substantially, as expected. It would seem that Ken's purpose in this life is to hold these crooked insurance companies accountable. Kudos Ken. Thank you!!!
I cannot say enough good things about leverage auto appraisals. First off Ken is very kind and knowledgeable. We had never been in an accident before and he explained the process and what to expect. State farm gave us a total loss on our Dodge grand caravan and tried to offer us $12,233 after Kens hard work he got us back $17,950. He's fast and efficient. Our whole process took a total of 3 days. If you need an appraisal done I would highly recommend leverage auto appraisals.
I rolled my truck in Canada while guiding and my insurance offered me 3500 less than my pay off quote and Ken was able to get them to come up 8000 dollars. I will never use anyone else of if I had to do this process again. Highly highly recommend
Ken is truly a man on Integrity. He gave me the best advice that actually helped me use as leverage to save my Car from being Totaled. I highly recommend them.
Thank you Ken!
I can’t recommend Leverage Auto Appraisers enough. My son had what can only be described as a “unicorn” car — a pristine 2011 Subaru Forester with just 60k miles and a flawless service record. We searched long and hard to find it, and it was absolutely perfect for him.

Less than two months later, while it was parked, a huge tree branch fell on it, breaking the windshield, side-view mirror and damaging the door. GEICO immediately totaled it and then tried to lowball us based purely on the age of the car. Anyone who’s tried to buy a Subaru in Oregon knows the market is completely different — you simply cannot find low-mileage, well-maintained Subarus at the prices GEICO wanted to use.

That’s when we hired Ken at Leverage Auto Appraisers. Not only is he genuinely a nice, easy-to-work-with guy, but he handled everything professionally and knew exactly how to deal with the insurance process. He ended up increasing the payout by around 30%, which was enough for us to buy a comparable replacement vehicle without going too deep out-of-pocket.

Even better, because of Oregon law, his fee was reimbursed — so if you hire him, make sure you request that reimbursement from your insurer.

Ken truly saved us in a stressful situation. Worth every penny, and then some.
I was happy to get a fair settlement with my insurance company.
