Auto Appraisal Network franchise owners provide independent vehicle inspections and certified valuation reports for a wide range of clients and circumstances.
Services include:
Franchisees work with individual vehicle owners, collectors, insurance claimants, attorneys, financial professionals, dealerships, repair facilities, and other local businesses.
Santa Barbara has a large and diverse automotive market that includes daily drivers, classic and collector cars, custom builds, motorcycles, specialty vehicles, dealerships, repair facilities, insurance professionals, and enthusiast communities.
Yet many vehicle owners do not know where to turn when they need an independent opinion of value.
A local Auto Appraisal Network franchisee can help fill that need while building a business around a genuine interest in vehicles.
You don’t have to build an appraisal business from scratch. Auto Appraisal Network provides franchisees with an established system for inspecting vehicles, researching values, preparing reports, serving clients, and marketing their businesses.
Franchise support includes:
Previous appraisal experience can be valuable, but it is not the only quality that makes a strong franchise owner. Successful candidates should have an interest in vehicles, attention to detail, good communication skills, professionalism, and a willingness to learn.
An Auto Appraisal Network franchise may be a good fit for:
You do not need to own a shop or maintain a large staff to get started. Many inspections are performed at the vehicle’s location, allowing the business to operate with relatively low overhead.
