Meet Your Appraiser

Nico Nix, an independent auto appraiser with deep roots in the Northwest car community and a lifelong passion for vehicles.

Nico grew up surrounded by the appraisal business—his father owns Leverage Auto Appraisals in Oregon, and his brother runs Diminished Value of Oregon. For the Nix family, helping drivers fight for fair value isn’t just a business—it’s a family tradition.

From weekends spent in the garage to classic car shows and local meetups, Nico’s journey has always revolved around cars. Today, he brings that same enthusiasm and deep industry knowledge to every diminished value and total loss appraisal he delivers.

When you work with Nico, you’re not getting a generic report—you’re getting insight from someone who lives and breathes cars, and who fights to make sure your vehicle’s true worth is recognized.

How it Works

Free Claim Review

Start by requesting a Free Claim Review. I’ll evaluate the insurance company’s valuation and let you know whether the offer appears fair or if your vehicle is likely being undervalued. Most reviews are completed within just a few hours.

Invoke the Appraisal Clause

If the insurer’s valuation appears too low, I may recommend invoking the appraisal clause in your policy. If you choose to proceed, I’ll provide a formal Letter of Representation along with clear, step-by-step instructions on what to do next.

Full Appraisal & Representation

Once the appraisal clause is invoked, I take over completely. I will prepare a USPAP-compliant report, communicate with the insurer’s appraiser, negotiate for a fair valuation, coordinate the umpire process if needed, and keep you updated. My mission is to secure the strongest possible settlement for you.

Pricing

Flat fee of $550, covering the full USPAP appraisal, all representation and negotiation, communication with the insurer’s appraiser, and umpire coordination if required. No percentage fees, hidden costs, or surprises.

No-Risk Guarantee

If I take your case and the appraisal clause process does not increase your settlement by at least $1,000, I will issue a full refund of the $550 fee. This ensures zero financial risk in hiring Total Loss NW.

Timeline

Most cases are completed within 1–3 weeks. Once both appraisers connect, the process usually moves quickly, and needing an umpire is uncommon.
