Why IA Reports

Your insurer has experts.
Now so do you.

When your vehicle is declared a total loss or damaged in a collision, the insurance company assigns adjusters and internal valuation tools designed to settle your claim on their terms. Most drivers don’t realize the number they receive is negotiable — not final.

At IA Reports, our certified independent appraisers establish your vehicle’s true market value using real Canadian data. Whether you’re disputing a low settlement or an insurance company requiring an objective third-party opinion, we deliver documentation that holds up.

Our Services

Independent expertise.
Defensible outcomes.

Every service we offer ensures vehicle valuations are accurate, evidence-based, and fair — for individuals and insurance companies alike.

Service 01

Independent Vehicle Appraisal

When a vehicle’s value is in dispute, IA Reports provides a certified, comprehensive appraisal grounded in real Canadian market data. We work for both sides of the process: individuals challenging a low settlement and insurance companies requiring a third-party opinion.

Our appraisers research active comparables, recent sales, regional conditions, and vehicle-specific factors to establish a defensible actual cash value accepted by all major Canadian insurers.

For Insureds & Insurers
  • Certified appraisal reports accepted by all major Canadian insurers
  • For total loss disputes, ACV challenges, and independent valuations
  • Available to insurance companies needing third-party reports
  • Full documentation with real Canadian market comparables
  • All makes, models, and provinces covered
  • Court-ready and legally defensible documentation
Service 02

Carfax & Lien Checks

Before purchasing any used vehicle privately, you need two things: the complete vehicle history and confirmation that no financial claim exists against it.

We pull Carfax Canada reports covering accident history, ownership count, odometer records, and out-of-province history. We also run PPSA lien searches to confirm no bank or lender holds an outstanding claim — a claim that transfers to you on purchase if undiscovered.

Pre-Purchase Due Diligence
  • Full Carfax Canada vehicle history report
  • PPSA lien search on any province
  • Accident, theft, and ownership records
  • Odometer and out-of-province history
  • Fast turnaround — results same day
Service 03

Vehicle Damage Estimates

When the insurer’s repair estimate doesn’t match your body shop’s quote, an independent assessment gives you documented, unbiased evidence. We assess damage scope, document findings, and produce a written estimate suitable for insurance submissions.

Available to individual claimants, repair shops requiring third-party verification, and insurance companies needing independent assessments on complex files.

Individuals, Repair Shops & Insurers
  • Independent third-party damage scope and assessment
  • Written estimate for insurance submissions
  • Dispute partial-loss settlements
  • Challenge repair vs. total-loss decisions
  • Available to repair shops and insurers

How It Works

Four steps from their number
to your fair settlement.

Transparent and straightforward — designed so you don’t battle your insurer alone.

1

Submit Your File — Free

Fill out our intake form or call us directly. We review every file at no cost and give you an honest picture of whether a dispute is viable and what outcome is realistic. If there’s no meaningful gain available, we tell you upfront.

2

We Build Your Independent Appraisal

Our team researches real, active comparable vehicles across Canadian marketplaces — AutoTrader, dealer inventory, private sales. We account for your vehicle’s trim, mileage, condition, options, and regional pricing to establish a defensible actual cash value.

3

We Handle the Insurance Company

We submit the appraisal directly to your insurer and manage all communications. You don’t deal with adjusters. We know the claims process from the inside and know how to present a counter-appraisal that demands a serious response.

4

You Get Paid More

When the insurer revises their offer, you accept the improved settlement. Our fee is a percentage of the increase we secured. If we don’t improve your payout, you owe us nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people ask us

Yes. Every standard Canadian auto insurance policy contains an appraisal clause that gives you the right to challenge the insurer’s ACV calculation. You are entitled to hire an independent appraiser, and when we submit a well-documented counter-report, insurers regularly revise their position. You are not required to accept their first number.
ACV stands for Actual Cash Value — the fair market value of your vehicle immediately before the loss. Insurers use automated tools that frequently undervalue vehicles by using incorrect comparables, ignoring regional market conditions, or missing a vehicle’s specific trim and options. We correct that with real, current Canadian market evidence.
For total loss disputes, we work on a contingency basis — no upfront cost. Our fee is a percentage of the increase we secure above the insurer’s original offer. If we don’t improve your settlement, you pay nothing. For standalone appraisals, Carfax reports, and damage estimates, fees are per file. Contact us for current pricing.
Most disputes resolve within two to six weeks of submitting the appraisal. Cases with strong comparables often move faster. More complex disputes proceeding to formal umpire arbitration take longer. We keep you informed at every stage.
Yes. Insurance companies requiring an independent third-party appraisal for overflow or complex files rely on IA Reports for fast, professional, unbiased reports. We understand insurer timelines and deliver documentation that meets industry standards.
We serve clients in every Canadian province and territory. We work with all vehicle types — sedans, SUVs, trucks, luxury vehicles, exotics, motorcycles, and commercial units. If your vehicle was insured in Canada and its value is in dispute, we can help.

Our Story

Why IA Reports exists

IA Reports was founded on a straightforward observation: most drivers have no idea they can challenge their insurer’s valuation — and those who do often lack the industry knowledge or credibility to do it effectively.

Our team brings direct experience from inside the Canadian insurance industry, including time spent as licensed claims adjusters at major national insurers. We understand precisely how ACV calculations are made, where they fall short, and how to build counter-appraisals that produce results.

We serve both sides of the valuation process — individuals who need an advocate and insurers who need an objective third-party opinion. In both cases, our commitment is the same: accuracy, professionalism, and documentation that holds up.

Former licensed claims adjusters — major Canadian insurers
Customer Service Champion recognition — Intact Insurance
Business Administration credentials — Humber College
Fully independent — no insurer affiliation, no bias
Clients served across all Canadian provinces — GTA, Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and beyond
