In the aftermath of a car accident or in cases of theft, flood, Stolen vehicle or other unforeseen events, your vehicle might be declared a total loss by your insurance company. This term typically implies that repair costs are either equivalent to or surpass the vehicle’s retail market value. At Leverage Auto Appraisals, we believe you deserve the full retail market value for your car, inclusive of any relevant Tax, Title, and Licensing Fees, especially in Oregon where you have the legal right to dispute the insurance company’s offer if it seems unjustifiably low.

The key lies in the appraisal clause of your full coverage policy. This provision enables you to hire an independent auto appraiser, like Ken Nix, a certified expert in Oregon, to challenge what might seem like a lowball valuation from your insurer. If your insurance policy includes an appraisal provision, it typically follows these steps:

  1. Obtain an auto appraisal (at your expense).
  2. Your insurance company conducts its own appraisal (at its expense).
  3. Should there be a disagreement on the vehicle’s value, both appraisers select an umpire. The costs for the umpire are split equally between you and the insurance company.
  4. If the final appraised and negotiated value is higher than the insurance company’s last offer, they are obliged to reimburse you for reasonable appraisal expenses. (Oregon Policies Only)

At Leverage Auto Appraisals, we stand by your side in these critical moments. Whether your car has been involved in an accident, suffered damage from a storm, or been stolen, we provide a thorough, unbiased auto appraisal to ensure you receive a fair valuation. This is particularly crucial when the cost of repairs approaches or exceeds your vehicle’s market value.

In summary, don’t settle for less. If you’re facing a total loss situation in Oregon and want to dispute the insurance company’s offer, rely on Leverage Auto Appraisals for accurate, reliable, and fair auto appraisal services. Your vehicle’s true car value or vehicle value should always reflect its worth in the market, and we’re here to make sure that happens.

  5. When’s the best time to invoke my appraisal clause? The sooner the better. Ken has over a decade of experience working appraisal clause claims.

Jacob Riopelle (Jake Riopelle)
I was working with State Farm insurance, and received an appraisal from CCC for $13,400 for my 2013 Sienna. The car only had 1 only owner before me and was declared a total loss. I gave Ken a call and he let me know that they were way under evaluating my vehicle like I suspected. He worked with my insurance and in about a week he had gotten me from that $13,400.00 up to $19,600.00. Absolutely worth every penny Ken was fantastic to work with. Definitely recommend his services to anyone who has a totaled vehicle. Per Oregon law if the appraisal that you get from Ken or any other appraisal company is a penny over what the insurance company’s first appraisal of your vehicle your insurance company is liable to pay Ken’s fee. So overall, you’re basically getting a fantastic free service and more value for your vehicle. I hope I don’t ever total another vehicle but if I do, I’m calling Ken.
Response from the owner:Jake, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review, I truly appreciate it. It was an absolute pleasure working with you, and I am really glad you trusted your instincts when that $13,400 valuation just didn’t sit right. Getting your settlement up to $19,600 and securing that $6,200 increase is exactly why I do what I do. I am very passionate about helping people get what they truly deserve, not some lowball number that gets pushed on them in hopes they will just accept it and move on. The reality is, these insurance valuations are often riddled with problems. The comps are not inspected, have no photos, erased from the internet, and there is little to no transparency on condition assuming their comps are in excellent condition when in fact the majority they use are in worse. This is 2026, not 1994, there is no reason they can't provide photos of their comps. I regularly find vehicles with prior frame or structural damage, poor repairs, and even branded titles being used as comparables. It is honestly unacceptable. What frustrates me the most is how many people just take that first offer. There are hundreds of thousands of people every year across this country who accept less than what their vehicle is worth simply because they do not know they have options. Some of the increases I have seen are life changing. Last year alone, I had a claim increase by around $50,000. That should not even be possible if the system was working correctly, but it happens more often than people realize. I really do believe we should expect better from both insurance companies and the systems in place that are supposed to oversee them. Until that changes, I will keep doing everything I can to stand up for people and make sure they are treated fairly. Thank you again for your trust, your patience, and your recommendation. Hopefully you never need me again, but if you do, I have got your back. Kind regards, Ken

Bernadeau Faurestal
I had a great experience working with Ken. The process took longer than expected, but Ken stayed on top of the negotiations and kept working my case. In the end, he was able to increase my total loss settlement by about 20%. I'm very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend Leverage to anyone who feels their vehicle was undervalued by their insurance company. One thing I'd add is to be patient as the appraisal process isn't quick, and some delays are outside the appraiser's control. In my case, the final result made the wait worthwhile. Thanks again, Ken!
Response from the owner:Bernadeau, thank you so much for the fantastic review. I really enjoyed working with you, and I appreciate you sticking with the process. While it took longer than either of us would have liked, I'm glad we didn't settle early for just a couple thousand dollars more and instead continued pushing for what I believed your Tesla Model Y was actually worth. In the end, we were able to increase your total loss settlement by over $5,500, and I am thrilled the extra patience paid off. One thing I would like to add for anyone reading this review is that the length of an appraisal clause claim is often determined by how responsive the opposing appraiser is. Once my appraisal is complete, I cannot force someone on the other side to answer emails or return phone calls. Unfortunately, I have noticed a few companies becoming slower and slower during negotiations while also advertising in our area how quickly they complete appraisals for consumers. I also encourage everyone to do a little homework before hiring an appraiser. Ask if they are licensed to appraise vehicles in Oregon and request their Oregon appraiser license number. If that information is not readily available on their website or they are unwilling to provide it, I would encourage you to ask why. Also ask whether they or their company perform appraisal work for insurance companies or receive any revenue from insurance companies. In my opinion, an independent appraiser should be willing to answer those questions openly and honestly. I have also seen situations where policyholders received very quick settlements from companies advertising fast turnaround times, only for me to later obtain substantially higher settlements after becoming involved. In my opinion, a fast result does not always mean the best result. I would rather spend a little more time fighting for the highest credible value that is owed to a client, than settle a claim quickly for less than I believe it is worth. Thank you again for putting your trust in me. I am grateful for the opportunity to help you challenge an undervalued insurance settlement, and I wish you nothing but the best moving forward. Kind regards, Ken

Andrew Bertz
Having to go all the way to getting an appraisal was not something I wanted to do. But when my Insurance company low balled me and would not budge, I reach out to Ken. He was great to work with and helped explain the process. I was able to get over 10% more for my total loss claim thanks to Ken's work.
Response from the owner:Andrew, thank you for taking the time to write this, I really appreciate it. I know going through the appraisal clause process is not something anyone plans on, but unfortunately it becomes necessary when the insurance company just will not budge on a low offer. I am glad I could help walk you through the process and make it a little easier to navigate. That is exactly why I am here, to help Oregon drivers deal with these total loss situations and make sure they are not stuck accepting less than what their vehicle is actually worth. Getting over a 10 percent increase is a solid result and a great example of why it is important to challenge those initial valuations. Thank you again for your trust and for working with me. I truly appreciate it and I am always here if you ever need help again. Kind regards, Ken

Jessica Kittell
I cannot say enough good things about leverage auto appraisals. First off Ken is very kind and knowledgeable. We had never been in an accident before and he explained the process and what to expect. State farm gave us a total loss on our Dodge grand caravan and tried to offer us $12,233 after Kens hard work he got us back $17,950. He's fast and efficient. Our whole process took a total of 3 days. If you need an appraisal done I would highly recommend leverage auto appraisals.
Response from the owner:Jessica, thank you so much for the amazing review, I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was honestly awesome working with you, and I am really glad I could help guide you through everything, especially since this was your first time dealing with a total loss situation. That jump from $12,233 to $17,950, a $5,700 increase, is a fantastic result. And on a van, that is saying a lot. Most of the time we see increases in that $3,000 to $4,000 range on vans, so getting close to $6,000 definitely made me feel like I had my Wheaties that morning. I am just glad I was able to help you get what your vehicle was actually worth. State Farm does tend to rely on CCC valuations, which in my experience are often on the low side. That said, I will give credit where it is due, State Farm is generally a solid insurance company, and many of the appraisers they hire tend to be more ethical than some others out there. That definitely helps when it comes to reaching a fair resolution. Thank you again for your trust and for recommending Leverage Auto Appraisals. It truly means a lot, and I am always here if you ever need help again. Kind regards, Ken

Michael Crumley
Ken is the best! He completely helped me through the whole process and I’m so glad I trusted him with the total loss of my vehicle. My insurance company completely lowballed me and he got me thousands more that I was missing out on. Thank you Ken 🙏
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the awesome review, Michael! It truly means a lot to me that you trusted me to help you through the total loss process on your 2019 BMW M5 Competition. I know how frustrating it is when an insurance company comes back with a lowball offer, especially on a high value performance vehicle where every detail matters. This was one of the tougher appraisal clause negotiations I've had in a while, but I'm glad we stayed the course and were able to increase GEICO's valuation from $53,468 to $59,000, putting an additional $5,532 in your pocket. Helping Oregon drivers through total loss insurance disputes and fighting for a fair market value is exactly why I do this. I truly appreciate your trust, your patience, and your kind words. Hopefully you never need an independent auto appraiser again, but if you do, you know where to find me. Kind regards, Ken

Syed M Wasim
When both the at-fault driver's insurance and our own insurance came back with lowball offers on our total loss claim, Ken stepped in. He provided an accurate appraisal that reflected the true replacement value of our vehicle. He’s the best in the business—hopefully I won't need to, but I'd use his services again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him!

Ken did an amazing job on getting more money from our insurance on my daughters car. I highly recommend Ken and his team.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Jennifer. I really appreciate the recommendation and the trust you put in me to help with your daughter’s Challenger. I’m glad I was able to challenge State Farm’s CCC valuation and get a little over $3,000 added to the settlement. It still amazes me how these CCC ONE valuations can sometimes be thousands of dollars away from what a vehicle is actually worth. I also really appreciate you including the photo of the Challenger. Photos help people reading these reviews see that these are real vehicles, real total loss claims, and real people dealing with these insurance valuation disputes. That was a really nice Challenger, and it was tough seeing it damaged like that. Thank you again for taking the time to leave the review and especially for including the photo. It means a lot to me. Kind regards, Ken

Vitri Reeves
I highly recommend Ken from Leverage Auto Appraisals Total Loss Appraiser LLC. If you’re dealing with insurance pressure to close a claim quickly, trust Ken and his process—even when it feels uncomfortable. I’m so glad I listened to him. Ken fought hard for my dispute and made sure I received what I truly deserved for my Chevy truck. He is extremely knowledgeable about the insurance and appraisal industry and took the time to explain things clearly. I’m not great at reading fine print, and without his guidance, I could have easily ended up paying much more out of pocket. Beyond the appraisal itself, Ken generously shared valuable insights about how he conducts business and the importance of family and integrity. Those conversations had nothing to do with appraisals, but I truly appreciated them—they meant a lot. Thank you, Ken, for fighting for us and for going above and beyond. Your dedication and honesty make a real difference.
Photo from customer review
Response from the owner:Vitri, thank you so much for the thoughtful review and for trusting me with your Insurance total loss claim on your 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss. I also want to thank you for uploading photos of your truck. Beautiful Silverado and honestly a shame that it was totaled. Photos like yours really help people see these are real clients, real vehicles, and real appraisal clause disputes here in Oregon. Sadly, there are companies out there purchasing reviews or creating misleading impressions online, so I truly appreciate clients like you who take the time to share genuine experiences. I’m really glad you trusted the process even when the insurance company pressure started building to settle quickly. That pressure is exactly where many consumers end up accepting less than they deserve. In your case, we were able to secure a $5,132 increase over the original CCC valuation, which made a significant difference on your Silverado claim. Helping Oregon drivers challenge low insurance offers and navigate the appraisal clause process is exactly why I do this work. I also sincerely appreciate your comments about our conversations outside of the appraisal itself. Family, integrity, and trying to do right by people have always mattered more to me than simply processing claims. I have never worked for insurance companies and have never accepted revenue from insurance companies in any capacity because I believe remaining fully independent is critical to being truly unbiased for consumers. Lately, it has come to my attention that several appraisers operating in Oregon are also performing work for insurance companies while simultaneously marketing themselves to consumers without fully disclosing those relationships. Personally, I believe that creates a serious conflict of interest when someone is representing a consumer against the same insurance companies they are also receiving business from. That is one of the main reasons I have always chosen to work exclusively for vehicle owners and policyholders rather than insurers. Thank you again for the trust, the great conversation, and the opportunity to help. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best moving forward. Kind regards, Ken

After my daughter was in an accident in our Mini Countryman, the insurance company low-balled the total-loss payout for our fully insured vehicle. Unfortunately, this seems to be standard practice. We were forced to hire an appraiser to exercise the legally mandated appraisal clause in our policy to recover the disputed value amount. I was fortunate enough to connect with Ken at Leverage Auto Appraisals. Ken has been doing this a long time--he knows where all the bones are buried (as they say), his process is refined, he's personable, friendly and he devotes a lot of attention to his cases. Ken increased the payout I received from the insurance substantially, as expected. It would seem that Ken's purpose in this life is to hold these crooked insurance companies accountable. Kudos Ken. Thank you!!!
Photo from customer review
Response from the owner:Walt, thank you so much for taking the time to write such an incredible review, I truly appreciate it. And thank you for including the photos, that was a really severe front end collision. Seeing that kind of damage really puts things into perspective, and I am just glad your daughter is okay. Vehicles can be replaced, people cannot. I am really glad we were able to step in and help you through that situation. Unfortunately, what you experienced with the insurance company is all too common. These total loss valuations are often low right out of the gate, and most people do not realize they have the right to challenge them through the appraisal clause. That is where I come in, making sure people are not stuck accepting less than what their vehicle is truly worth. And yeah… I guess you could say I do know where a few of the bones are buried. Ha ha. I have been doing this a long time, and over the years I have built a strong network of dealers and industry contacts. A lot of those relationships go back to when I worked with Reynolds and Reynolds and during my time helping run a large automotive forum network for about 10 years. Even now, I will call a dealer about a comparable and hear someone in the background say, “Is that Ken Nix?” after not talking for 10 or 15 years. It is pretty cool, and those relationships really help when it comes to getting accurate real world market data and holding these valuations accountable. I am grateful you trusted me with your claim, and I am really glad we were able to get you a substantially better outcome. Thank you again for the kind words, they truly mean a lot. Kind regards, Ken

Ken was amazing, friendly and honest guy. My car was totaled after some idiot in Tahoe decided to pull a U-Turn on a blind corner and I was driving around said corner. I received a fair amount from State Farm, but I didn't feel like it was quite enough for what I had. Thankfully my state farm rep mentioned I could try to get more if I contact an auto appraiser, and he was right! I contacted Ken because of his great reviews, and I was so grateful I did. The entire experience was such a smooth process AND he got me an additional $3,000! And...your insurance company refunds you the entire cost of the appraisal process with Ken. I was so grateful I reached out to him, I highly recommend him to anyone that has the unfortunate reason to need this kind of service, but Ken at Leverage Auto is the guy to help! Thanks Ken for your help!

Ashley Cervantes
Ken Nix was an absolute joy to work with and he did exactly what he said he would. He was able to get my payout increased enough to pay off my loan, buy back my car, and have some left over to repair it too! He even reassured me when insurance's third party appraiser tried to scare me into thinking I had made a big mistake. Hiring Ken was the best decision I could have made and I am 100% satisfied with the outcome. I could not recommend him more. Thank you so much Ken!
Response from the owner:Ashley, thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure working with you, and I am so glad we were able to increase the value of your **2015 Honda CR-V** by more than **$2,700**, a **43.8 percent increase** over the original offer. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for insurance company representatives or the appraisers they hire to say things that make policyholders question whether they are making the right decision. I am glad I was able to answer your questions and give you the confidence to stay the course. In the end, being able to pay off your loan, buy your CR-V back, and still have money left over to repair it worked out. That is exactly why I enjoy doing this work. Thank you again for your trust and your kind words. You were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I truly appreciate your recommendation. I wish you many more miles with your CR-V, and if you ever need anything in the future, do not hesitate to reach out. Kind regards, Ken

Alan Cowan
I highly recommend consulting with Ken Nix before accepting any insurance offer. My vehicle was damaged by a tow truck operator and declared totaled by State Farm. They offered me a ridiculously low settlement for a vehicle that I had purchased just one month prior. After struggling with my claims specialist for several weeks, I reached out to Ken and he was able increase my settlement to $5,009 from State Farm's initial offer $2,176. Ken knows the business extremely well and will make sure you get a fair offer.
Response from the owner:Alan, thank you for the kind words and the strong recommendation. Getting a low offer after your vehicle was damaged by a tow truck operator and declared a total loss is enough to make anyone feel like they are getting steamrolled. Buying the vehicle only one month before the loss makes that original $2,176 offer from State Farm even harder to swallow. I am really glad you reached out before accepting it. Increasing the settlement to $5,009 was a strong result and well over a 50 percent increase. I do apologize that the process took longer than normal because of my own wreck, and I truly appreciate your patience while I worked through that. Helping Oregon drivers with an insurance claim car value dispute is exactly why I do this work, and I am happy we could get you a much fairer outcome. Kind regards, Ken

 

Oregon Total Loss Vehicle Appraisals

Has your Insurance Company deemed your vehicle a total loss? Are they not offering enough for your totaled car or truck? In your insurance policy, you have what is called an appraisal clause. The appraisal clause section is devised to allow you to dispute the offer your insurance company is providing.

If you do not agree with the value your own company offers, your policy may include an appraisal provision. Appraisal processes vary. Check your policy or ask the claims representative or contact us for help.

Typically:

  • You get an appraisal (you pay).
  • The company gets an appraisal (it pays).
  • If the appraisers don’t agree on the value, the two appraisers agree on an umpire. You and the company each pay half of the umpire’s cost.

According to OREGON LAW, Insurance companies must reimburse you for reasonable appraisal costs if the final appraised value of your vehicle is higher than the company’s last offer.

The first thing you need to do, is determine if it is a good decision to invoke your appraisal clause. LEVERAGE can help you by providing a free, no charge review of your total loss claim. This will provide you with the information to make a well informed decision as to whether you need to move forward with disputing your claim or not.

LEVERAGE specializes in Total Loss appraisals in Oregon. Unlike many large companies that use low generic staff to produce and negotiate your claim, with LEVERAGE, you get a highly qualified auto appraiser and negotiator to work with you to negotiate a fair claim so you can replace your vehicle, and move on with your life. Ken Nix works every claim himself to ensure we recover the maximum fair market value for you.
