What Our Clients Are Saying
Real results. Real people.
“The insurance company drastically undervalued my BMW after a total loss. CCA's appraisal added $4,500 to my settlement. I wish I'd called them sooner.”
Sandra C. — Hartford, CT
Recovered: $4,500
“Even after my car was fixed, I noticed dealers offering me less on trade-in. CCA documented the diminished value and I was reimbursed by the at-fault driver's insurer.”
Michael O. — Stamford, CT
Recovered: $3,100
“Responsive, thorough, and they clearly know Connecticut insurance law. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with a stubborn insurance company.”

Why Certified Matters
Similar to our expectation that the men and women of the collision industry operate at a high level of professionalism and integrity, we expect the same from our staff and network of appraisers here at Collision Claims Advisors. All appraisers contracted through Collision Claims Advisors are required to be IACP certified through the Bureau of Certified Auto Appraisers. This requirement not only separates us from our competition, but it allows us to follow and maintain a uniform standardized practice, better known as the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
The Bureau of Certified Auto Appraisers (www.BOCAA.org) is a National Professional Appraisal Credentialing Organization (NPACO) as recognized by the IRS & US Department of Treasury for the qualification of IACP Certified Auto Appraisers Worldwide.
The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), developed in 1986-87 and copyrighted by The Appraisal Foundation, is the gold standard for appraisers across the United States. Endorsed by Congress, it serves as the definitive source for appraisal standards and appraiser qualifications. When an appraisal aligns with USPAP standards, it's more than just an opinion; it's considered solid evidence.
