USPAP-Compliant, Insurer-Accepted Auto Appraisals. Same-Day Reports Available.
It is a common issue that once a car has been in an accident, the value of the car decreases dramatically. You may be entitled to receive a payment from the insurance company. That's where we can help! We make sure you get the money you deserve for your loss. Get started today!
Why would you trust a company that owes you money to determine how much they owe you?
Total Loss Disputes & ACV Claims
When your vehicle is declared a total loss, your insurance company is required to pay you its Actual Cash Value (ACV). Unfortunately, insurance companies often calculate payouts based on their bottom line — not your vehicle’s true market value — which can leave thousands of dollars on the table.
Galex Appraisal Services provides certified, independent appraisals that help vehicle owners challenge undervalued total loss settlements and recover what they’re rightfully owed.
In approximately 9 out of 10 ACV cases we take on, we’re able to help clients recover substantially more than the insurance company’s initial offer.
How It Works:
• Free preliminary evaluation to determine whether we can help
• Clear expectations before any payment is required
• Certified, court-accepted and insurance-accepted appraisal reports
• Assistance through the appraisal clause process from start to finish
Diminished Value Claims
Even after professional repairs, an accident permanently reduces your vehicle’s market value. That loss in value is known as diminished value — and in many cases, the insurance company may owe you compensation for it.
Galex Appraisal Services helps vehicle owners determine whether they qualify for a diminished value claim and what their potential recovery may look like.
Not every vehicle qualifies for a diminished value claim. Our free preliminary evaluation helps determine:
• Whether your vehicle meets eligibility requirements
• The potential value of your claim
• Whether pursuing the claim is worth your time and effort
Our certified appraisal reports are designed to support negotiations with insurance companies and help you recover what you’re owed.

Real Customer Testimonial
"I want to thank you for both your excellent service and quality work on the repair of our car that was severely damaged in a recent accident. My research for the best body repair shop pointed clearly to Harry’s on the Hill and it paid off in superb results.
What’s more, because our car suffered considerable diminished value as a result of the accident despite the repairs, you referred us to Peter Puleio for an appraisal to aid in filing such a claim with the insurance company. Peter prepared a professional report and followed up with the insurer’s appraiser when the two were not in agreement. Unfortunately, the insurer was not cooperative and it wasn’t until I contacted the NCDOI that we were able to resolve the matter through a third-party “umpire” appraiser. Again, Peter was not only helpful in identifying a professional for that task, but he provided valuable advice and followed up repeatedly to marshal the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.
Thanks to your referral and Peter Puleio’s experience with the process, we were able to settle for four times the insurer’s original inadequate offer. I highly recommend him to all of your customers who find themselves in a similar situation."
Appreciatively,
John Horrocks
