Maryland Auto Appraisal - Serving Northern and Central Baltimore County

Customer Testimonials

Here are Some Customer Testimonials (all unsolicited)

Mr. Ehmann's name was provided by my service manager at [a dealership]. I called Mr. Ehmann and he: 1) made time to talk to me immediately, 2) explained how Maryland has a "diminished value" law in place, and 3) gave me an appointment immediately two days after the telephone call.

I observed Mr. Ehmann doing his work and to my eyes he did a fantastic job. After reading his report I was even more impressed. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to get a vehicle inspected by an outside appraiser.
