How it works

From your driveway to a signed FIN 320, without an appointment

You send us the details and photos. A qualified appraiser reviews them and decides what your vehicle is fairly worth. You get a completed BC appraisal form by email.

Fill in the online form

It takes about 10 minutes. You'll need:

The 17-character VIN (on the registration, the dashboard by the windshield, or the driver's door frame)
The odometer reading
The purchase price and date of sale, from the Transfer/Tax form (APV9T)
The Black Book value on your ICBC estimate, if you have it
A description of any problems, and repair quotes if you have them

Upload photos and documents

Each type has its own upload box on the form. Take photos in daylight.

Photos of damage and repair quotes help support a lower value. Documents can be photos or PDFs.

Pay the flat fee

$70 plus GST (+ $3.50 GST (5%) = $73.50 total) by credit or debit card through Stripe. We never see or store your card number.

We appraise the vehicle

An appraiser reviews your photos and information and works out a fair market value based on the vehicle's condition, kilometres and the market. If something's unclear, we'll email you for more photos.

You get your appraisal by email

Usually within 1 hour, as PDFs:

A completed and signed Motor Vehicle Appraisal form (FIN 320)
A detailed appraisal certificate
The FIN 355/MV PST refund application, if you've already registered
