Very quick and easy to work withPosted on Randall HuestonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A call to Motor City Auto Appraisers needs to be one of the first few calls you make after an accident. Bekki was amazing and was able to answer all of my questions throughout the entire process. Bekki was able to help make a stressful and potentially financially challenging situation a non-issue with her professionalism and expertise. Hopefully I won't be put in a situation to need an appraisal on a total loss again but if I do I know who I will call. I wouldn't hesitate to call them for any of their other offered services.Posted on Brock MullenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would very highly recommend Motor City Auto Appraisers if you are in a dispute over your vehicles value with insurance. I had a light post fall on to my car and the initial insurance offer was just $4068. My car was an older vehicle with low mileage and desirable to people in to cars. The fair market value that MCAA gave me was $10,800. After working with the appraiser from my insurance I was able to get a payout of $9050. While still not how much I would have liked to get, I feel like MCAA fought hard for me to get every dollar that they could. Well worth the money for their services.Posted on Jolian KathawaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marty and Bekki provided A+ service when helping me with a low appraisal from my insurance company on my totaled vehicle. They take care of everything with the insurance company and are extremely responsive when communicating. They were able to secure me an additional $7,000! Don’t bother looking into another company if you’re in a similar situation as I was. You won’t regret it!Posted on Kyle PeirceyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and did great work. Better than that, they were able to schedule us and appraise a large number of vehicles on very short notice. They were also extremely flexible with last minute scheduling changes and kept us informed every step of the way. Would absolutely use again and recommend to others.Posted on Harjas KaurTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bekki did a wonderful job and confidently assured us of our potential gains. She got us way more than the insurance company offered which allowed for us to break even on repairs. Thank you for an amazing outcome MCAA!!
