Zac appraised 5 inherited classic cars and a modern truck for us over the past few months and we couldn't be happier with his work. He was always on time, professional, and willing to travel to our home, which made the whole process incredibly convenient. His knowledge, attention to detail, and friendly personality made working with him a pleasure. He produced comprehensive appraisal reports quickly and his pricing is more than reasonable. Truly an amazing person --highly recommended! read more

Zac basically saved my car, my insurance company wanted to total my classic BMW after I was side swiped by a parked minivan who pulled out without looking. Zac was overwhelmingly pleasant and easy to deal with and generally had great bedside manner with a slightly frazzled me. The price he charges is more then reasonable given the time he takes not only building the reports and helping talk you though things. If I ever need valuation services I'll be reaching out to Zac first read more

Zachary Romer from Automobile Appraisal Association has been honest, transparent and professional. Highly recommend.

My brother and I reached out to Zac regarding my father's 'Vette that we had inherited. He quickly returned our email and was available to come later in the week for an in person appraisal. Zac was on time, professional, and thorough. It was a pleasure working with him and he was able to give a quick turn around for the appraisal report. Highly recommend his services. read more

My 2005 Ford F-250 XLT Super Duty Crew Cab was stolen and totaled on 1/13/21. My insurance provider at the time Progressive quoted a final price after 2 months of going rounds of approx. $8000 after deductible and sales. I bought the vehicle 6 months prior at $13,000. And wanted at least what I bought the vehicle for, but I did have some fire damage to the rail bed that's again wasn't apparently "payable" by my insurance even though it wasn't my fault. Zac was able to send his bid and get me $12,500! Even after my deductible it was still $11,300. Which is something I was able to work with and get myself the exact same truck without coming out of pocket! For his price and services I would definitely say GO FOR IT! He's amazing! read more

My off-road Van was stolen and found stripped and damaged. I had a lot of money/time, invested in the van and I drove it everyday fishing, riding dirtbikes/mountain bikes, and camping. It was deemed a total loss and my insurance only offered to pay me $14K when I had $40K invested. So I rejected the offer and exercised my right to hire an outside appraiser to work with my insurance for a fairer settlement. Zach took all my information (receipts, pictures, and build costs) and appraised my van at fair market and replacement value. My insurance company's appraiser was in agreement with Zach and I was paid out enough to build up another van exactly like my stolen van! If you ever have a vehicle stolen or damaged beyond repair, my advice is to hire Auto Appraisers to appraise your vehicle and work with your insurance. Otherwise, your insurance may offer you a low settlement amount and you'll be stuck with a replacement vehicle that is worth far less than your original. I'm so lucky I called Zach. read more

I reached out to Zac to get a 96 Toyota Supra appraised as part of securing a private loan, although I live in Massachusetts the car was located in Sacramento. He got back to me within half an hour after I left a message and his enthusiasm and expertise in this field was apparent over a quick phone conversation. I actually chose him over a local competitor, due to the quick response and professionalism. He was incredibly easy to reach by phone and text, got the job done and sent back within a day. Would highly recommend Zac to anyone seeking this type of appraisal! read more

Looking for someone to give us an appraisal on our classic car. Saw his ad and called to set up an appointment and basically he wasn't even interested in taking a look at it because it wouldn't be worth his time and he is too busy. Didn't sound very professional on the phone. read more

Absolutely give Zac a call. This guy knows what's what, he's easy to speak and deal with, he's responsive, and in my case it was a no brainer (disputing a totaled vehicle settlement). He'll tell you how the game works, when you are delusional, and what can be realistically accomplished. Catch him early. The next auto loan that asks for an appraisal, I will 100% be back. read more

Good service and on time a really good appraisal service company they look the car over and explain to you how appraisals are done

Zac's appraisal of my daughter's ex's car was accurate when the ex is trying to undervalue everything. Zac ignored her ex's threat to destroy his business because my daughter's ex owns an auto repair shop. Ethics is an important part of a business. Something some people don't understand. Zac, thank you for sticking to your principals. read more

I called Zac and left a voicemail with my details on a Monday morning, he called me back within 10 minutes. After a few basic questions and answers I decided to go with the on-site appraisal. We set up an appointment for the next Sunday morning at 9am. Zac texted me as he left letting me know he was enroute and texted me again when he arrived (about 5 minutes early). He was very professional and you could tell he enjoyed his job and cars in general. He took about 20 minutes taking pictures and asking questions and then told me he should have something for me the next day or the day after. Almost exactly 24 hours later we received our completed appraisal. I can't recommend Zac enough. It's easy to see why this business has nothing but good reviews. As soon as the next project is done, he will be the first call we make! read more

Zac Romer is the best! My insurance was trying to give me 6k less than what my truck was worth. I didn't even know how to go about finding an appraiser. I looked up a couple and found Zac. Gave him a call on a Friday afternoon, he returned my call. Discussed how this works, told him I wanted to go ahead with the appraisal. Sent him pictures of my truck. He had everything ready by Sunday Morning. Not even 2 full days later and on weekend! He was able to get me my $6,000 more than what my insurance was offering. Couple of days later, I received a call from my insurance and they overnighted a check. Did not even take a whole week to get this done. The other company (appraisers) my insurance hired, knew who Zac was right away. He's been in the business for quite some time. I definitely do recommend Mr.Romer and thank you for Zac for running an honest and effective business! read more

He did a very professional, detailed, inspection of the vehicle. The appraisal report was submitted promptly and consisted of very thorough research and detailed information of the subject vehicle, which expedited the settlement of the dispute between parties. Mr. Romer possesses a thorough knowledge and one can rely on his expertise in professional appraisals. I highly recommend Association's services. read more

Zac did an outstanding with the appraisal for my classic car ('55 Buick Special). He was easy-to-work with, knowledgeable, and professional. He was both thorough and fast. His prices are very reasonable. But the factor that I most value is that I trust him. He "feels" like a guy with integrity who is really good at his job. Lastly, Zac goes the "extra mile". When my cell phone crashed and I thus lost his appraisal, he had no problem resending it. Overall, Zac does an OUTSTANDING job across the board. read more

I had never had a classic car appraisal prior to the work performed by Zachary so I had no idea what to expect. Zachary was extremely professional and I felt he really reviewed my car with a fine tooth comb. He then reviewed numerous other sources to determine the value of my car which I needed to validate its value to my insurance company. Once he determined the value of my vehicle, he then created an electronic and hardcopy book with pictures of my car and an overview of its features. I was very impressed and have recommended Zachary to other friends with classic cars. read more

Zac at Automobile Appraisal Association is an incredible appraiser! I found myself in a major battle with my 'Big Insurance' company in a unique and complicated 'total loss' situation, and Zac with Automobile Appraisal Association made me feel like someone was always on my side. He kept fighting for me until we won and I got nearly all of my value back! He is super nice and genuine, and responsive in a high pressure situation. I can't thank him enough! read more

My insurance company's offer to salvage my truck after an accident was far too low. After providing several legitimate comps, maintenance records, and weeks of negotiating with the insurance company's "independent" appraiser, I got them to budge 10%. They scraped the bottom of the barrel for cheap private party Craigslist ads and wrong trim vehicles just to avoid paying out the car's true value ($14-15k). This is when I decided to get a professional to look after my interests. Zach performed thorough evaluation of the vehicle, which was assessed 34% above the insurance appraiser's value. The other appraiser conceded, and Zach's estimate was accepted uncontested. The resulting amount deemed the vehicle repairable after all. Couldn't be happier. read more

Look no further for an appraiser! Zachary arranged an early appointment for us and appeared right on time. He took some great pictures. He was informative about our car itself. The appraisal is VERY comprehensive and dependent upon various resources such as comparables, Blue Book, etc. The appraisal was helpful for insurance purposes as well as personal confirmation for price paid for the vehicle. We highly recommend Zack! read more

Zachary provided me with outstanding customer service. I asked him to take some photos of my car for sale which he offered at an incredibly reasonable price. We set a time and date 1. The interior photographs that he took were fabulous 2. It was a little overcast and the exterior photos were a little dark so he agreed to come out and retake the exterior car photos at no charge. I forgot to take the car out of the carport making photography impossible 3. He came out a third time and took wonderful exterior photos and again at no additional charge Zachary was beyond professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Coming out three times when it was my fault at no additional charge demonstrated to me that he was genuinely interested in helping me get the right photographs that met my needs rather than just being focused on making a quick sale. This is the second time I have used Zachary's services. Several years ago he came out and took magnificent photographs of my vintage Cadillac as required by my insurance company. He also wrote an incredibly detailed description of the interior, exterior, and the mechanical aspects of the car. read more

When my insurance claim department was trying to short me by a lot of money I was referred to Zachary Romer. That was the best decision and the best money spent. Zachary was able to get additional $5000 for my car. I guess the insurance claim department always low ball the claim and hope that people don't fight them and take the money. I knew my car was worth a lot more and hiring Zachary proved that. I highly recommend his services and you will be getting more than your money's worth. read more

I was in need of a "Cram Down Value" for my 1999 Porsche due to filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. I was concerned about the appraisal because the Porsche had a cracked head and I had to prove this to the bank and bankruptcy court. So I contacted Zachary Romer, of Automobile Appraisal Association, for a professional appraisal. Zachary met me at my home and was very thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. I received a large report that was submitted to the courts and due to his fair and impartial evaluation I was granted the Cram Down Value and was able to keep my precious, hot and busted Porsche for much less than was owed on it, but for what it was truly worth in its current condition. read more
