Canada-Wide Total-Loss Appraisals

Total Loss Appraiser Serving Canada

When a vehicle is written off and the insurer's offer appears too low, IA Reports reviews the valuation report, verifies the subject vehicle and develops an independent market-supported opinion using evidence relevant to the province and vehicle category.

What matters: A strong dispute identifies the exact valuation issue and supports a correction with traceable evidence. Simply requesting a higher number is not an appraisal.

What we review

The complete insurer valuation and settlement breakdown are reviewed together.

  • Correct VIN, trim, drivetrain and body configuration
  • Mileage and pre-loss condition
  • Factory options, packages and specialized equipment
  • Comparable vehicle relevance and availability
  • Mileage, condition and equipment adjustments
  • Tax, deductible and other settlement items

Common reasons for disagreement

Material differences can arise from incorrect data, weak comparables or adjustments that are not clearly supported.

  • Wrong trim or missing equipment
  • Comparables from an unsuitable market
  • Large mileage or condition differences
  • Commercial or specialty use not understood
  • Unclear settlement arithmetic
  • Limited-market vehicles valued through generic data

Vehicles covered

Total-loss disputes are not limited to ordinary passenger vehicles.

  • Cars, SUVs and pickup trucks
  • Commercial trucks and work vehicles
  • Luxury and exotic vehicles
  • Classic and collector vehicles
  • Motorcycles and recreational vehicles
  • Modified and specialty vehicles

Frequently asked questions

Can IA Reports handle total-loss disputes outside Ontario?

Yes. Canada-wide assignments are considered. The applicable policy, provincial process and available market evidence are reviewed for each file.

Does every low offer justify an appraisal?

No. The value difference should be material and supportable. The complimentary review is intended to identify whether a formal report makes sense.

Do you guarantee the insurer will increase the offer?

No. IA Reports provides an independent opinion and supporting evidence. The insurer remains responsible for its claim decision.
