Our Story
Auto Praise was founded by Daryl Zelinski, a lifelong automotive professional with more than 30 years of hands-on experience. Daryl began vocational training in automotive repair at just 13 years old, later working professionally as an automobile technician before becoming a mechanical claims inspector. In 2002, he founded Certified Automotive Research & Investigations to bring expert, independent inspection services to firms and insurance companies, then later formed Auto Praise to focus on providingappraisal services directly to vehicle owners, attorneys,financial and business entities.
With decades of industry insight—working for both insurance carriers and vehicle owners—Daryl built Auto Praise on a simple principle: consumers deserve honest, certified appraisals and inspections that protect their financial interests.

Where We're Located
Auto Praise Vehicle Evaluation Services is based in Coconut Creek, Florida, and serves clients throughout Broward County, Palm Beach County, Miami-Dade County, and statewide across Florida.
Our office is located at Elite Office Suites, 6810 N State Road 7, Suite 332, Coconut Creek, FL 33073 — situated along the North State Road 7 corridor near the intersection of SR-7 and Wiles Road, just north of the Coconut Creek Promenade and minutes from the Broward–Palm Beach county line.
Most of the work I do as an independent auto appraiser is field-based — I travel directly to the vehicle, whether that is at a repair shop, a client’s home, a dealership, or another location throughout South Florida. Clients are never required to bring a vehicle to our office. That said, our Coconut Creek location serves as the base of operations for Auto Praise, and consultations can be arranged by appointment.
If you have questions about a diminished value appraisal, a total loss appraisal, or any other independent vehicle appraisal service, the easiest first step is to call or reach out through our contact page. We serve clients across Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Margate, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and the surrounding communities.
