Dean Renwick and remains the largest special interest vehicle appraisal company in Canada. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appraisals are required for a number of reasons such as being necessary to obtain <em>Agreed Value<\/em> coverage under specialty insurance programs, to preparation of <em>After Loss<\/em> reports where there is a dispute between an insured and their insurance company regarding the total loss value of a damaged vehicle that is declared a write-off, to the determination of <em>Diminished Value<\/em> (economic damage) that results when a vehicle is damage repaired and returned to the owner without consideration of the uncontested fact that a vehicle with damage always has less desirability and value than a similar vehicle with no damage.&nbsp; It is unfortunate for auto insurance consumers that the Ontario insurance scheme is mandated on a <em>No-Fault<\/em> basis making a claim for economic damage very challenging to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thousands of vehicle appraisals completed by Antique &amp; Classic Auto Appraisal Service over more than four decades have been successfully relied upon by a diverse group of clients ranging from private individual collectors, insurance companies, financial institutions, courts, and federal and provincial government agencies including the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board (CCPERB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the protection of consumers, members of the Antique &amp; Classic Auto Appraisal Service&nbsp; team are licenced and insured through the <em>Professional Association of Vehicle Evaluators Inc.<\/em> (P.A.V.E.) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trustpave.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.trustpave.com<\/a> &nbsp; It is the mandate of P.A.V.E. to act as the Self-Regulating Organization (SRO) for the Canadian vehicle evaluation industry ensuring appraisal consumers and member appraisers have a meaningful measure of protection through its unique Professional Errors &amp; Omissions insurance program, as well as ensuring acceptable levels of competence and integrity are developed and maintained by its members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For convenience, appraisals are arranged at a client\u2019s location by contacting a member of the Antique &amp; Classic Auto Appraisal Service team listed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/antiqueandclassicappraisal.com\/index.php\/contact\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"32\">Contacts:<\/a> section of this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>A member of The Professional Association of Vehicle Evaluators Inc., (PAVE).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"102\" src=\"https:\/\/antiqueandclassicappraisal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PAVE-Logo-RDG-1-1024x102.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antiqueandclassicappraisal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PAVE-Logo-RDG-1-1024x102.png 1024w, https:\/\/antiqueandclassicappraisal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PAVE-Logo-RDG-1-300x30.png 300w, https:\/\/antiqueandclassicappraisal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PAVE-Logo-RDG-1-768x76.png 768w, https:\/\/antiqueandclassicappraisal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PAVE-Logo-RDG-1-1536x152.png 1536w, https:\/\/antiqueandclassicappraisal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PAVE-Logo-RDG-1-2048x203.png 2048w, https:\/\/antiqueandclassicappraisal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/PAVE-Logo-RDG-1-250x25.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company was founded in 1980 by D.
