Specialist Insurance Valuations for All Motor Vehicles Caravans Motor Homes Boats & Trailers
An Independent, professional vehicle valuer with a 99% insurance acceptance rate across NZ.
Unlike automated desktop tools that guess values using generic algorithms, I provide accurate Pre-Accident Market Valuations based on active data, localised island availability, and physical condition.
Specialising in standard passenger cars, double-cab utes, certified 4WD lift kits, custom canopies, and heavy-duty towing setups - I deal directly with clients, brokers, and insurers to resolve payout disputes quickly without the friction."
Your Rights:
When your vehicle is written off, insurance companies often use generic automated computer programs to calculate its value. These programs look at national averages and completely miss the real-world market. If you’ve been offered a low pre-accident value (PAV), you have the legal right to challenge it with an independent, professional opinion.
Why My Valuations Stand Up to Insurers:
Grounded in Real Trade Me Data: I don't guess. I find active, local replacement vehicles within a realistic 300–400km radius on your island to prove exactly what it costs to buy your car back today.
Your Accessories Count: Automated tools completely ignore your expensive extras. I apply a disciplined 50% second-hand value to certified lift kits, premium canopies, bull bars, and heavy-duty towing setups etc.
99% Acceptance Rate: My reports are formatted exactly the way major underwriters like IAG require. Because my evidence is ironclad, insurance handlers accept my figures without a fight.
How It Works:
Send Me Your Offer: Upload your vehicle details and the low payout offer from your insurer.
I Run the Hard Numbers: I audit their calculation against live market data and certified modification compliance.
Get Paid Fairly: I provide an official, audit-ready valuation report. I am also happy to pick up the phone and deal directly with your insurer or broker to explain the market reality and get your payout sorted fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I legally challenge my insurance company's payout offer?
Yes. Under New Zealand insurance rules, you do not have to accept their first offer. If you believe your Pre-Accident Value (PAV) is too low, you have the right to provide an independent, professional valuation report to prove what the vehicle was actually worth on the open market.
Why is my insurer's valuation lower than real market prices?
Insurers and brokers frequently use generic desktop algorithms that rely on nationwide averages. These computer programs cannot see the physical condition of your car, completely ignore localised island demand, and routinely fail to add value for expensive, certified aftermarket modifications.
What makes your valuation reports different?
My reports are grounded in live Trade Me data, specifically looking for available replacement vehicles within a 300–400km radius on your island. I also use a strict, audit-ready framework that applies a fair 50% second-hand value to certified gear like lift kits, premium canopies, bull bars, and heavy towing setups.
Will I have to argue with my insurance company myself?
No. I don’t just mail you a PDF and leave you to sort it out. I have a 99% acceptance rate across the industry, but if your insurer or broker still questions the numbers, I will pick up the phone and talk directly to them or you to clear up the market data and resolve the dispute fast.
