Why Start With A

Complimentary Review?

Our Settlement Review gives you an independent assessment of your carrier valuation report so you can better understand your position before deciding on next steps.

What We Review

Comparable Selection

Whether the vehicles used to value yours truly match your trim, options, and local market.

Condition Adjustments

Deductions for vehicle condition are often understated, reducing your payout below fair value.

Mileage Analysis

Incorrect mileage adjustments are a frequent and overlooked source of underpayment.

Vehicle Configuration

Factory options, packages, and trim level must be accurately reflected in the valuation.

Post-Settlement Adjustments

Fees, taxes, and title costs outside the ACV that affect your actual net payout.

* Physical Vehicle Inspection

Certain assignments may require a physical vehicle inspection to verify condition, equipment, damage, prior repairs, or other disputed valuation factors. When required, inspection services are quoted separately and are not included in the standard service fees shown above.

** Umpire Fees

Umpire fees are not included in IAS service pricing. Responsibility for umpire compensation is governed by the applicable insurance policy, appraisal agreement, and any arrangements reached between the parties. If an umpire becomes necessary during the appraisal process, additional fees may apply.

*** Pricing Information

Published fees represent typical starting prices for standard passenger vehicle assignments. Final pricing may vary depending on vehicle type, specialty equipment, commercial vehicle involvement, assignment complexity, required research, physical inspection requirements, documentation volume, or other factors affecting the scope of work. A final fee quote will be provided before engagement.
