The Same Work, From a New Address
For years, Auto Praise has operated from a position of complete independence. No insurance company ties. No incentives to shade a number in anyone’s favor but the vehicle owner’s. That has not changed, and it will not change.
What has changed is our registered business address. Our new location at 6810 N. State Road 7 in Coconut Creek places us squarely in one of Broward County’s most central commercial corridors — a reflection of where our client base has always been concentrated and where the volume of total loss and diminished value work continues to grow across South Florida.
The independent auto appraisal work itself — the market research, the comparable vehicle analysis, the USPAP-compliant reporting — has always been conducted in the field and remotely. That is the nature of this work. Vehicles are inspected where they are. Documentation is reviewed wherever it lives. Reports are delivered digitally. Our address is a business anchor, not a limitation on where or how we serve clients across Florida.
Centrally Located for the South Florida Market
The North State Road 7 corridor in Coconut Creek sits at a natural midpoint between Palm Beach County and the core of Broward County. For a vehicle appraiser whose territory runs from Jacksonville to Miami and across the state, that positioning is not incidental — it reflects the geographic reality of where Auto Praise does the majority of its work.
Palm Beach and Broward County remains our primary base of operations. West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Lake Worth, Wellington, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, and Royal Palm Beach are communities we have served extensively for decades. The total loss and diminished value cases that come out of these communities are exactly the kind of complex, high-stakes appraisal work that Auto Praise was built to handle.
Broward County has always been a significant part of our service footprint as well. Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Davie, Plantation, Pembroke Pines, Weston, Hollywood, and Coconut Creek itself represent active markets where vehicle owners, law firms, and financial institutions regularly call on independent appraisers to produce credible, defensible valuations.
Miami-Dade County rounds out our core South Florida coverage. Hialeah, Miami, Miami Gardens, and Homestead are all within reach, and we handle cases in these markets consistently.
Beyond South Florida, Auto Praise provides independent auto appraisal services statewide. Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, Jacksonville, Naples, Fort Myers, and Tallahassee are all markets we serve — remotely or in the field — when the case calls for it.

What We Do, and Who We Do It For
An address update is a practical matter, but it is also a reasonable moment to be clear about what Auto Praise does and who benefits from working with an independent vehicle appraiser.
Total Loss Appraisals are the core of what we do. When an insurance company declares a vehicle a total loss and issues a settlement offer, that offer is generated by proprietary software working from data the carrier controls. Vehicle owners have the right — in Florida and in most states — to challenge that number through the appraisal clause when the claim is through their own insurance policy. That process requires an independent appraisal from a qualified, credentialed appraiser. That is exactly what Auto Praise provides.
Diminished Value Appraisals address a different but equally real financial loss. A repaired vehicle with accident history on its CARFAX is worth less on the open market than an identical vehicle with a clean history — regardless of how well the repairs were done. A certified independent auto appraisal documents that loss with market evidence, giving vehicle owners a foundation to recover what the accident actually cost them.
Classic and Exotic Vehicle Appraisals represent a specialized segment of the work. South Florida’s collector car market is among the most active in the country, and Auto Praise has deep experience appraising significant vehicles for insurance agreed-value policies, estate purposes, pre-purchase inspections, and auction evaluations.
Appraisals for Law Firms and Financial Institutions round out the practice. Attorneys handling probate, estate disputes, and litigation support regularly call on Auto Praise for USPAP-compliant vehicle appraisals that will hold up under legal scrutiny. Banks and credit unions rely on independent appraisers to establish actual cash value for collateral evaluation and loan decisioning.
Across all of these service types, the operating principle is the same: Auto Praise works for the client, not the carrier, and every report reflects that independence.
