Get the True Value of Your Vehicle
We don’t work for the insurance company—
We work for you.
If your vehicle has been in an accident or you’re preparing to sell or document its value, a Portland auto appraisal provides you with an accurate, market-based valuation. We serve individual drivers, attorneys, body shops, and dealerships across the metro area.
Our certified appraisers use Oregon DMV guidelines, up-to-date market comps, and deep experience working with insurance adjusters. We’re often called in when a car owner disagrees with the insurer’s payout amount and needs third-party documentation to negotiate a better settlement.
Services include:
If you’ve received an undervalued CCC or Mitchell report from your insurer, we can help you challenge it with credible, data-backed documentation.
Portland is home to a vibrant car enthusiast scene, and Total Loss NW understands the nuance and care required for classic car appraisals in Portland. Whether you drive a restored Mustang, vintage Mercedes, or fully customized hot rod, we provide accurate and defendable valuations for collector and antique vehicles.
Unlike standard auto appraisals, classic car evaluations require specialized knowledge. We assess the car’s condition, originality, restoration level, modifications, and the current collector car market. Our reports are used for:
We appraise muscle cars, European classics, restomods, and rare builds with complete documentation. Our reports are respected by insurance companies and accepted in legal or estate cases.
Oregon allows for diminished value claims, and that means if your vehicle has been repaired after an accident but is now worth less than it was before the collision, you may be owed money. We offer diminished value appraisals in Portland that help you recover the difference.
After an accident, even high-quality repairs don’t erase the fact that your vehicle has a damage history. Most Oregon buyers will pay less for a vehicle with an accident record, and that loss in value is your diminished value.
Our process:
Under Oregon law, you must file a diminished value claim within six years from the date of loss. The insurance company is not obligated to offer you diminished value unless you ask for it. That’s why having an expert report in hand puts you in control.
Has your insurance company declared your car a total loss and offered you less than it’s worth? Total Loss NW is your trusted Portland total loss appraiser. We work on your behalf to deliver a realistic valuation of your vehicle and help you fight back against lowball CCC, Mitchell, or Audatex valuations.
We specialize in:
In Oregon, you are entitled to invoke the Right to Appraisal clause in your auto policy if you disagree with your insurer’s valuation. We represent you as an independent appraiser to support a fair payout. Our reports have helped Portland drivers recover thousands more than initial insurance offers.
We’re not a national call center. We live and work in Oregon, which means we understand the Portland vehicle market, local buyer behavior, and Oregon insurance practices. Our appraisers are licensed and insured, and we never take a percentage of your payout. Our goal is to protect your rights and make sure you get what your vehicle is worth.
Whether you're located in Northeast Portland, Beaverton, Gresham, or downtown, we’ll help you get clarity and leverage in your claim.
Don’t let the insurance company decide what your car is worth. Whether you’re dealing with a total loss, diminished value, or need a classic car appraisal, we’re here to help Portland drivers fight back with real data and certified appraisals.
