Certified Quick Car Appraisals
Avoid overpaying on taxes with our expert appraisals.
Avoid overpaying on taxes when transferring vehicle ownership in British Columbia with our professional appraisals. The Canadian Black Book valuation, which is used by ICBC to calculate tax, may not reflect the true value of your vehicle if it has defects such as damage, rust, high mileage, or mechanical issues. By obtaining an appraisal from our team of experts, you can gain an accurate assessment of the value of your vehicle and save on taxes.
Get fast results – most of our appraisals are completed within 45 minutes. Contact us for a free consultation – no payment required until we determine that our appraisal will save you taxes on your vehicle purchase.

What our clients have to say about our service
Karamjit S., Abbotsford
“ICBC wanted to charge me $1170 in taxes based on a value of $9750 for a Mazda that I only paid $4100 for because it needed a lot of work. Your professional appraisal helped me save $678 within minutes. Thank you so much.”
