    Great and convenient service! They came on the location and inspected a Porsche Macan I wanted to buy and left my mind at ease.

    I contacted Auto Doc's midday on a Saturday and they were available to make a trip down to Carlsbad…read moreearly the next morning to do a pre-purchase used car inspection for me. I don't live in Carlsbad, so this was all executed without my having to be there - Dennis interfaced with the car seller and took care of everything. He called me right after to give me a summary of how it all went, and by the end of the day I had a full 40-page report as well. It was every bit as thorough as you'd want it to be. In fact, when I went down later to complete the purchase, the seller commented on how thorough Dennis had been with his inspection - even lifting the car up (on site!) to inspect the undercarriage. He spent I believe nearly two hours on it, making sure I wasn't buying something that was gonna have the wheels fall off five miles from the dealer. I had been a little nervous in searching for inspectors because most of the inspection companies I saw have iffy online reviews, and their websites have FAQs where they explain why their inspectors *don't* need to be certified mechanics. It's like, no, dude, I kind of wouldn't mind an inspector who knows what he's doing, thank you very much. But Dennis is the real deal, a certified, experienced mechanic with a deep resume, and the proof was in just how meticulous and perceptive he was with his work. He even spotted a paint touch-up job that was so well done I'd missed it when I had looked over the car earlier. I found Dennis to be professional, courteous, and punctual. Zero hassle. I would use his services again without hesitation if the need arose. (Worth noting also that his company isn't one of the ones that kicks back a discount for a 5-star review - his reviews are legitimately earned.)

    He was punctual, thorough and honest, and communicative when I texted with questions. I felt he did…read morean excellent job and I trusted his opinion. I hopefully won't need to buy a car again anytime soon but I would recommend him!

    I have nothing but good things to say about Auto Appraisal Network (AAN) and appraiser Dave…read moreWilliams! I had the misfortune of getting into a car accident that wasn't my fault. My vehicle was brand new and I had to fight the insurance company at every step of the way. And, after my car was fixed the insurance company thought that everything was resolved. I knew better. I knew my car was worth less after being in an accident, and that the dealership would give me less for it when I tried to sell it (because a Carfax report would reveal it had previous damage). So, I ran a report on Kelley Blue Book between a vehicle in excellent verses good condition. I submitted this information to the insurance company and they said I needed a formal appraisal, but wouldn't guarantee any compensation for the report. I took a gamble and contacted Auto Appraisal Network. Not only did they tell me all about Diminished Value, but also Loss of Use. They came to me and inspected my vehicle, and put together a very professional report. It documented the diminished value and loss of use (while my vehicle was being repaired). Their amount was more than what Kelley Blue Book documented. I also got sample cover letters for formally submitting the report to my insurance company. I requested over $3,000.00 and the insurance company countered at only $600. So, I took the driver and the insurance company to small claims court. Using the language and legal precedent information that AAN gave me, I briefly explained my case to the judge and submitted the report. The judge ruled in my favor and I got everything that AAN said I was owed!!! The insurance companies know all about Diminished Value, they invented the concept. They're just hoping that the public doesn't learn more. And, they're counting on consumers being lazy and not pursuing it. They're betting that most people will just accept no, or a less than desirable settlement, because they don't want to take the time to fight the system or go to court. On principal, I chose to fight for what was rightly mine. AAN's report and the supplementary information gave me the tools for proving my case. I highly recommend Auto Appraisal Network.

    I hired Curt Kopetsky and Auto Appraisal Network to represent me as an independent appraiser in an…read moreinsurance total loss dispute. It was an absolute disaster that actively harmed my financial position. I provided Curt with a meticulously detailed pre-appraisal brief, including verified historical market data from my specific Date of Loss in 2021, and invoices for over $6,600 in premium aftermarket upgrades. Curt completely ignored my evidence. He produced a lazy, boilerplate report that severely undervalued my vehicle. To make matters infinitely worse, after reviewing his draft, I explicitly instructed Curt in writing NOT to submit or finalize the report. He ignored my direct directive. He took his flawed report and signed a binding settlement agreement with the insurance company's appraiser WITHOUT my review, consent, or authorization. His research and negotiation skills were so astonishingly incompetent that his final appraisal on my behalf came in over $8,000 lower than the insurance company's own internal appraisal. He literally negotiated against me and handed the insurance company a massive financial advantage. When I discovered this and immediately demanded that he formally retract his unauthorized signature, Curt vanished. I escalated the issue to the corporate office, contacting Dave Williams via multiple emails and direct phone calls, seeking intervention and a refund. The corporate office completely ghosted me. They refused to return a single call or email, abandoning me with a flawed, unauthorized legal document on my insurance record.

    After my ultra reliable 2012 Toyota Yaris was totalled in an accident, I was in the market for…read moreanother one and ended up finding a used 2016 Toyota Yaris SE that appeared to be in great condition but with high mileage. I placed an order on their website for a pre-purchase inspection and they were able to come out to meet the seller of the vehicle the next day. After the inspection, the inspector gave me a call with his findings and overall impression of the vehicle . The day after the inspection, a written report and a numerous inspection photos were available on the order page of their website. The written report specifically covered the following areas: Road Test, Engine & Mechanical, Suspension & Undercarriage, Tires & Brakes, Exterior & Body Condition. The level of detail in the report and the number of photos provided was satisfactory. Overall, it was a good overall experience and I'm happy with the service provided and with the vehicle I purchased. Why did I not give a full five stars? First, I believe a whining transmission noise they noted in their report was misdiagnosed. It seems to have been caused by the car's AC compressor that progressively whined louder before eventually failing during the fifth drive after purchase. Second, the report indicated that the transmission was leak free but I've found the slightest pooling of transmission fluid in my garage since the first day I purchased the car. Lastly, minor details seemed to be missed like missing roof weather strips/mouldings, a detached fog lamp, and sanding/repair work done on the rear bumper and rear fenders. If they had the means to diagnose the whining noise further and offered that as an add-on package, I probably would have availed and subsequently provided a higher rating.

    I am very disappointed with my inspection today. First of all, I asked on the phone and again when…read morePeter was at the car...if he would inspect under the car. He said he would, but he did not. His version of an under the car inspection was sticking his cell phone under the edges of the car and taking a photo. He certainly didn't crawl under and take a look. He made more of an effort to connect with the seller, than me, the buyer and person who hired him. He completed the inspection in 20 minutes and it certainly wasn't worth $200. It was anything but thorough. He said he was mostly inspecting cosmetics and basic function, which I said I could do. I asked him to share with me what he was inspecting as he went along, and he declined to do that. Honestly, he seemed to be in a hurry. Lastly, although I was told I would be getting all the photos the inspector took, absolutely none none of them are in the report. I do not recommend him and would never use him again!
