I highly recommend American Classic Appraisal Services LLC! I have used them twice for classic car appraisals, and both experiences have been absolutely awesome. They were professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. The turnaround time was quick, the pricing was great, and the appraisal reports were exactly what I needed. It's hard to find a company that provides excellent service, fair pricing, and quick results, but American Classic Appraisal Services checks all the boxes. Both times, I was extremely pleased with the service I received. If you need a classic car appraised, I definitely recommend giving them a call. I will absolutely use them again in the future!

Where to start! My goodness, was Shawn ever amazing to work with. I did a Google search for vehicle appraiser as I needed this document for a loan. The first appraisal company I found online quoted me $750! I wondered if that is really what it was going to cost me. An acquaintance told me it should not cost nearly that much. So I dug deeper online and quickly found Shawn's business. $149! It was evening time when I filled out the application. I had a question and texted him — he texted me back within five minutes! He very easily walked me through the whole process and started on my appraisal that same evening. His turnaround time was exceptional. He offered to connect back with me if I had any questions or if the bank had any questions. 15/10 experience and I feel so lucky that I found Shawn's services online. He's doing everything right with his business.

Shawn was incredibly helpful, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. He completed a thorough appraisal for our classic truck in record time — less than a couple of hours. He provided everything we needed for our lender at a very reasonable price. Another place I was looking at was charging $750 with a 2-day turnaround — I hung up so fast. So glad I found American Classic Appraisals!

Shawn was excellent to work with from start to finish. I needed a certified appraisal for a wheelchair-accessible mobility van for refinancing. He responded quickly, clearly explained exactly what he needed, and turned the appraisal around much faster than I expected. What stood out most was that Shawn understood this was not just a standard Ford Transit — he accounted for the mobility conversion, BraunAbility wheelchair lift, docking system, and comparable wheelchair-accessible vehicles. The final report was detailed, professional, and prepared specifically for the lender. Shawn also offered me a veteran discount, which I sincerely appreciated. Fast communication, friendly service, a thorough professional report, and someone who truly understands specialty and mobility vehicles.

Everyone was telling me it was too old to get prices, until I called Shawn and he took care of it within a couple of hours and got back to me that day. If I ever need help again I will definitely call on Shawn — thank you so much for your help.
