APPRAISALS
Desktop Appraisals – Individual or Fleet: This method is most commonly used when time and/or money is a factor. Michaud Bus Appraisals, LLC will provide you with a detailed appraisal in a matter of hours, not days. This is a quick and inexpensive way to find the approximate value of your equipment. We base our findings on many factors; the operation and environmental use of your equipment, industry standards, current market trends and by utilizing our many years of experience.
On-Site Appraisals – Individual or Fleet: Although more expensive, the most comprehensive and accurate method for us to report on your equipment is the On-Site Appraisal. The value of the equipment, whether one coach or a fleet, is determined by a detailed physical inspection, which includes interior, exterior, structural, mechanical, suspension, electrical, HVAC systems, entertainment systems, and a road test (when possible). Michaud Bus Appraisals, LLC will also perform an analysis of the equipment’s maintenance history. You will receive an itemized computer-generated report including Fair Market, Orderly Liquidation, and Forced Liquidation values along with detailed pictures of the subject equipment.
Expert Witness Services: We do offer our services as an Expert Witness if needed. Please call for price and availability.
