Professional Vehicle Appraisals
Accurate Valuations. Guaranteed Professionalism.
In British Columbia, used vehicle tax is calculated based on the Canadian Black Book value. If a vehicle has high mileage, mechanical issues, or body wear, the owner may be overpaying the government significantly.
Unicorn Auto provides professional, FIN 320-compliant appraisals accepted by ICBC and the BC Ministry of Finance. As a fully insured professional consulting firm, we ensure that every valuation is documented with precision, backed by over 20 years of industry expertise. Whether you require a remote valuation for a private sale or a comprehensive in-person audit within the Fraser Valley, we provide the documentation you need to ensure you only pay what is fair.
Basic Appraisal starting at ONLY $69.00*
Premium Appraisal starting at ONLY $99.00*
Premium Appraisal includes Lien Check and Vehicle History Report
