At Prairie West Arbitration and Appraisal, our depth of experience gives you a clear advantage when securing a fair settlement. We combine thorough, market-grounded appraisal methods with decades of hands-on industry knowledge to ensure the value assigned to a totaled vehicle reflects current, local market realities — not generic tables or lowball offers.

What we bring to the table

• Local market expertise: We track actual transaction data, dealer activity, and regional demand so valuations mirror what buyers are paying in your area.

• Comprehensive, evidence-based appraisals: Our reports use comparable sales, vehicle condition history, mileage, options, recent repairs, and loss-specific factors to build a defensible value.

• Experience with insurers and adjusters: We know how insurers typically calculate ACV (actual cash value) and where common discrepancies arise. That allows us to anticipate their approach, address their points, and present stronger, organized supporting evidence.

• Transparent documentation: Every appraisal includes clear reasoning, itemized adjustments, and source data so decision-makers — insurers, lawyers, or mediators — can see exactly how the figure was reached.

• Advocacy when needed: If a settlement offer is below fair market value, we provide precise valuation reports suitable for negotiation, arbitration, or court, protecting your right to an equitable outcome.

How this benefits clients

• Faster, more accurate settlements: A professionally prepared appraisal reduces back-and-forth and helps settle claims at a value consistent with the market.

• Higher likelihood of full compensation: By identifying and documenting value drivers often overlooked in initial offers (aftermarket options, recent maintenance, market shortages), we improve the chance of receiving fair compensation.
