Protect your prized vehicle with a Certified Appraisal.


Automobile and classic car appraisals at your location.



                                Quality, professional documents which usually include five photos.  Do not confuse these deluxe detailed, certified appraisals with that of my competitors.  They are well accepted by insurance underwriters and banks.  Documents can be sent to you or your insurance agent in digital PDF form or mailed to you.


My name is Denny Stehr and I am a full time, Certified Appraiser for the International Vehicle Appraisers Network (www.i-van.org), headquartered in Chesapeake, VA.  We are a group of nationwide automotive appraisers who are also hobbyists in the field.  We specialize in appraising Antique, Classic and Special Interest Vehicles for the purposes of insurance, bank valuation, donations (IRS Form 8283), pre-accident, pre-purchase, divorce or just peace of mind.  I am located in the South Metro of the Twin Cities but my area includes all of central and south east Minnesota and western Wisconsin.  Appraisals are done at your location, with no travel expense added as long as it is within a 75 mile radius of my location.  Above 75 miles, a mileage fee may apply.  Several appraisals in the same location may offset this.

All of our appraisers are National Judges for the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA).  I, personally, am a Master Judge for the AACA and belong to AACA, NSRA (National Street Rod Assn), Goodguys, MSRA (Minnesota Street Rod Assn) and the VJMC (Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club).  I have been a life long car guy, owning my first car at 15, starting with corporate Champion Auto Stores at the age of 21 and eventually owning and operating five franchise parts stores throughout my lifetime.  My favorites involve muscle cars of the 60's but also spreads to late 20's and early 30's era vehicles, my favorite there probably being some of the 2/4 passenger Packards.  The late twenties and early thirties was also a muscle car era of a type, with the huge engines and fast looking cars.  The main difference was only the rich could afford these.  I have appraised about every type of vehicle, from the early 1900's to modern day vehicles, some extremely rare and some not so rare.  This not only includes cars but also trucks, buses, motorcycles and speciality vehicles such as fire engines, farm tractors, Fed Ex vans, garden tractors and even trailers.  Anything dealing with the automotive industry or related fields can be accurately appraised.  I also understand the specialized appraisals of street rods and resto mods, being very familiar with the pricing of parts needed to build these vehicles.  One of the major benefits of using our appraisals, aside from the fact that we must be certified yearly, is our ability to network amongst our many appraisers on any strange circumstances.

There are no licensing requirements for being an appraiser, either state or federal, so beware when choosing an appraiser.  I am governed by the national organization, International Vehicle Appraisers Network (www.i-van.org) and am required yearly to be re-certified by them as being a competent appraiser, having completed continued education and national judging requirements.  Copies of all my appraisals are sent in monthly and results are also passed on to paper valuations sources which we use on a daily basis.
 
All of our appraisers come from an automotive background and many are experts in their own fields.  If you have interest in becoming a certified appraiser in other areas of the United States, visit our national website at www.i-van.org.
