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 Washington 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 Washington, 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.

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 Washington 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.

Washington

Our all-inclusive auto appraisal service provides everything you need to determine the cash value of your vehicle. With us you can have peace of mind and confidence in your claim. Other companies may claim to be the best auto appraisers in the Pacific Northwest, but we don’t work for insurance companies like they do. Haven’t you already dealt with enough misdirection and manipulation from your insurance company?

  1. Is there an auto appraiser near me? I cover all of Washington, specializing in helping consumers with Washington total loss insurance claims as an Washington Certified Auto Appraiser since 2010.
  2. Washington Total Loss Laws. Unfortunately, Insurance companies in Washington do not have to reimburse you for the cost of the total loss appraisal. Although, normally since you get an increase in your taxes with an increase in the value, this normally will cover at least part of the cost of the appraisal. 
  3. How can I negotiate with car insurance adjusters for my car’s total loss. YOU DON’T HAVE TO. Under your policy’s appraisal clause, you’re allowed to hire a vehicle appraiser and he can negotiate the claim for you.
  4. How much more can I get? My average increase this year, is $5,768.19 or 44.78 percent of the vehicle’s value. .
  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. Many insurance companies are known to give claimants a list of things to do if they want a higher value. Most of the times, this is just a ploy to get you to waste time while your vehicle goes down in value, so they can gain an even bigger advantage.

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

Troy
I was rear-ended and my insurance offered me $19,489 for my 2021 Toyota Camry. Ken got me $22,005.50 which is an increase of $2,516.50! I would absolutely use Ken in the future and strongly recommend him.
Response from the owner:Troy, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and for trusting me with your total loss claim. I am glad we were able to increase State Farm's offer on your 2021 Toyota Camry from $19,489 to $22,005.50, putting an additional $2,516.50 in your pocket. I truly appreciate your recommendation. While this increase may not have been as dramatic as some of my other claims, every case is different, and my goal is always the same. I do everything I can to prove the true market value of a vehicle rather than simply accepting the first increase the insurance company offers. Every dollar matters when it comes time to replace your vehicle. I also hope your experience reminds other Oregon drivers that they do not have to accept the first total loss offer they receive. Many people are unaware that their policy contains an appraisal clause because it is often buried in the paperwork and rarely explained. Under Oregon law, if the appraisal increases the insurance company's final offer by even one cent, they must reimburse the reasonable cost of the appraisal. That knowledge alone has helped many people recover thousands of dollars they otherwise would have left behind. Thank you again for your trust and your recommendation. Hopefully you never need my services again, but if you do, I will always be happy to help. Kind regards, Ken

Ian Jackson
I was happy to get a fair settlement with my insurance company.
Response from the owner:Ian, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I really appreciate it. I am glad we were able to get you to a fair settlement, that is always the goal. I always tell people, choosing the right appraiser matters. There are a lot of auto appraisers out there doing all kinds of work, divorce, probate, classic cars, you name it. But total loss claims are their own animal. It is kind of like needing open heart surgery and being given three choices, a dentist, a chiropractor like Alan on Two and a Half Men, or a heart specialist. I mean… you are probably not picking Alan. Ha ha. I am really glad you trusted me with your claim and that we were able to get things where they should have been. Thank you again, and I am always here if you ever need help down the road. Kind regards, Ken

Montana Moore
I rolled my truck in Canada while guiding and my insurance offered me 3500 less than my pay off quote and Ken was able to get them to come up 8000 dollars. I will never use anyone else of if I had to do this process again. Highly highly recommend
Photo from customer review
Response from the owner:Montana, thank you so much for the awesome review, I truly appreciate it. And more than anything, thank you for putting your trust in me. I know this one was not the easiest process and it took a little time, but getting that full $8,000 increase is exactly why we stayed the course. We probably could have wrapped things up quicker if we had only pushed for a few hundred dollars more, but that is not how I operate. If I believe there is more value there, I am going to fight for it. I am really glad we did, because that is a huge difference when it comes to getting you back to where you should be. Also, thank you for posting the photos. I mean… wow. Seeing that again, it just hits you. That was a serious accident, and the fact that you walked away from that is nothing short of amazing. The good lord was definitely looking out for you that day. I really appreciate your confidence in me and your recommendation. Hopefully you never have to go through this again, but if you do, I have got your back. Kind regards, Ken

Danielle Andrade
I sadly totaled my 2017 4Runner recently. I’m so glad I called Ken at leverage auto. He was able to get me $2k more than progressive was going to pay out. It’s a good thing he’s doing! 2k definitely made a difference to me! Thank you Ken!
Response from the owner:Danielle, thank you so much for the wonderful review. I am really glad we were able to increase Progressive's settlement on your 2017 Toyota 4Runner by $2,000. I'm glad that extra money made a difference. I also appreciate your comment that this is "a good thing." That truly means a lot to me because helping people through total loss claims is exactly why I do this and the reason I don't work for insurance companies. I've instilled these same values in my kids, Nico Nix at Total Loss Northwest, Austin Nix at Diminished Value of Oregon and our newest appraiser, Savannah Long, my daughter who will be working with me again! YAY! Most people only go through this process once or twice in their lives, while insurance companies handle these claims every day. Having someone in your corner who understands the process can make all the difference. Thank you again for your trust and your recommendation. It was a pleasure working with you, and I wish you nothing but the best moving forward. Kind regards, Ken

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

Suraj Gaurav
I would highly recommend Ken, he greatly exceeded my expectations. And made the process very smooth to deal with the insurance company. He is a rock star! My Porsche Taycan had an accident and got totalled. State Farm offered a payout amount and Ken was able to raise it by $7000. The appreciation would not have been possible without him. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!! He’s easy to work with, very communicative, professional and the best at his game!!
Photo from customer reviewPhoto from customer review
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the awesome review, I really appreciate it. And I have to say… that Taycan was absolutely gorgeous. I have a red Maserati GranTurismo Sport myself, so I have a soft spot for beautiful cars, especially when they stand out like yours did. Seriously, stunning vehicle. I am really glad I could help make the process smooth for you and get things moving in the right direction with State Farm. A $7000 increase on a total loss claim is exactly why it is so important to challenge those initial valuations. Vehicles like yours are often undervalued, and I am happy we were able to push back and get you closer to the true market value through the appraisal clause process here in Oregon. I truly appreciate your trust, your kind words, and the recommendation. I hope you end up in another red Taycan because that would be a perfect replacement. If you ever need anything in the future, I am always here to help. Kind regards, Ken

Dylan
So I recently totaled my truck and my insurance company tried to tell me my truck was worth $56307. That number just did not sit well with me due to the fact to replace my exact truck it would be closer to $65k, I reached out to Ken at Leverage and he was able to get me just shy of $63k. Couldn't be happier! Thanks a bunch Ken, you're a life saver.
Response from the owner:Dylan, thank you again for the awesome review and for trusting me with your State Farm total loss claim on your 2024 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. What really stood out to me about your case was that, as a used car manager for a major Toyota dealership, you immediately recognized the CCC valuation from State Farm was not reflecting the true replacement value of your truck here in Oregon. The important thing is that this was never about a lack of knowledge on your part. In fact, you probably understood Toyota vehicle values better than 99 percent of people dealing with a total loss claim. The real problem was the process itself. State Farm and CCC ONE controlled the valuation process and had the ability to pick and choose which comparable vehicles they wanted to use while dismissing stronger comps that supported a higher value. That creates a situation where even someone highly experienced in the automotive industry can become completely handicapped trying to negotiate fairly on their own. Luckily, because of your background in the industry, you recognized early on what many people unfortunately do not realize until it is too late. You understood that all the knowledge in the world can still be insufficient when the insurance company and CCC1 control the valuation process itself. You realized this was not simply about finding better comps. It required pushing the claim into the appraisal clause process and having someone involved who specializes specifically in total loss appraisal clause disputes and negotiating against these CCC ONE valuation systems every day. I’m really glad we were able to secure a $6,289 increase over the original State Farm CCC ONE valuation, bringing your settlement to just under $63,000. That is a substantial increase and much closer to the true market value of your truck. Thank you again for reaching out from the Grants Pass area and allowing me to help. Cases like yours are exactly why I continue fighting for Oregon drivers dealing with unfair total loss valuations and lowball CCC 1 reports from State Farm and other insurance companies. 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

Jordan Schreiber, L.Ac.
I had just bought a beautiful 2015 BMW X5 35d a month prior to hitting a deer and having Progressive call it a total loss. I knew the offer from Progressive was not going to allow me to replace the l X5 that I was just getting to know when, after some searching online, found Ken. I filled out the form on his website and heard back from him the next day saying he'd take my case on and that he could help. The entire process took about a month total, from hiring Ken to finally getting my payout. At times, it took a few days for Ken to get back to me and time for insurance to respond. It was stressful, but made much easier by Ken's re-assuring and calm easy going demeanor. As soon as Progressive, got Ken's letter of arbitration, they offered me over $4000 more, the next morning! Partly this was because Progressive was trying to get out of arbitration and didn't want to reimburse Ken's fee to me, but they eventually did. While it didn't happen overnight, it was the holidays, Ken made the whole process much easier and I would hire him again if I ever needed to and have recommended him already. I think it was about $4300 total more that Ken helped negotiate! Thank you Ken
Response from the owner:I really appreciate you sharing this, thank you. And yes, that was a sharp BMW, definitely a tough one to see go so soon after you picked it up. Unfortunately, that is when a lot of people first realize how far off insurance valuations can be. You did exactly the right thing by questioning the offer and reaching out. As a licensed auto appraiser here in Oregon, I see it all the time where vehicles like yours are undervalued through automated reports. I am glad we were able to step in, invoke the appraisal clause, and ultimately help you secure about $4300 more on your total loss settlement. That is money that makes a real difference when trying to replace a vehicle like that. I know the process can feel stressful at times, especially with a little waiting involved, but I am glad I was able to help make it more manageable along the way. Thank you again for your trust, your patience, and for recommending me to others. That means everything. Kind regards, Ken

Scot Northern
I highly recommend Ken Nix at Leverage Auto Appraisals. When my 2024 Toyota 4Runner was declared a total loss, the insurance company tried to lowball me on the value of my vehicle and aftermarket upgrades. I hired Ken, and his tenacity was exactly what I needed. He truly fights for the little guy against the corporate bureaucracy. By coordinating directly with the state regulators and insurance company appraisers, while refusing to back down, he successfully secured a $3,056 increase over the initial insurance offer. If you are dealing with a total loss and need an expert who will relentlessly advocate for what you are owed, Ken is your guy.
Response from the owner:Scot, thank you so much for the outstanding review and for trusting me with your 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium. That is one beautiful 4Runner, and I am glad we were able to secure an additional $3,056 over the original offer from Progressive. One of the biggest challenges in your claim was making sure the true value of both your vehicle and its aftermarket upgrades was recognized. Insurance companies do not always give those upgrades the consideration they deserve, so it often takes persistence, solid research, and a willingness to stand your ground. I appreciate your patience while I worked through the process because I truly believed your 4Runner was worth more than the initial offer reflected. Thank you again for your recommendation and your kind words. Helping people level the playing field during a total loss claim is exactly why I do this. I hope you never need my services again, but if you ever have questions in the future, you know how to reach me. Kind regards, Ken

Shawn Penny
I highly recommend Ken with Leverage Auto Appraisals. They were instrumental in my total loss claim process. The insurance company initially offered me $16,500 for my vehicle, but thanks to Leverage’s professional appraisal, I was able to secure a settlement of $19,950. Their service was professional, effective, and well worth it."
Response from the owner:Shawn, thank you so much for the great review and for trusting me with your total loss claim. I am glad we were able to increase your settlement to $19,950. Claims like yours are a good reminder that the first offer from an insurance company is not always the fair market value of a vehicle. My goal is never to create the highest appraisal possible. It is to produce the most accurate appraisal possible and then defend that value during negotiations. That approach helped us reach a settlement that was much closer to what your vehicle was actually worth. I truly appreciate your recommendation and the opportunity to help. Hopefully you never need an independent appraiser again, but if you do, I will be here. I wish you all the best, and thank you again for choosing Leverage Auto Appraisals. 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.

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 and Washington. 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.
