About Ready2Appraise

65+ Years of Certified Automotive Appraisal Expertise

Our History

Ready2Appraise began in 1962 as Allied Appraisal Service in Fresno, California. What started as a local appraisal shop has grown into a national service — while staying small, privately owned, and committed to a customer-first mindset. Over 65 years later, we've carried that same hands-on approach into an online, nationwide practice.
