Who We Are and Why We Do It.

Who are we?

We’re True Valuations — a New Zealand-based vehicle appraisal company that helps owners protect the real value of their vehicles.

Based in Auckland and serving clients nationwide, we specialise in certified vehicle valuations for insurance, legal, tax, and sales-related purposes. Whether you’re insuring a modified 4WD, valuing a business asset, or resolving a dispute, our independent reports are designed to reflect your vehicle’s true market value.

With a flat rate of $249 (incl. GST), we offer a cost-effective, professional service trusted by private owners, insurers, legal advisors, and businesses across New Zealand.

Why do we do it?

We understand both the market value and the personal value of your pride and joy on wheels.

While our service is beneficial to anyone who owns a vehicle, our core mission is to educate and empower those who may not realise their vehicle is significantly undervalued — and that their net worth, insurance cover, or legal standing could improve through a licensed valuation.

At True Valuations, we recognise the confusion and frustration many drivers face when navigating insurance policies, payout figures, or asset declarations. We’re here to bridge that knowledge gap with clear, independent information and help bring greater transparency to an often-overlooked part of vehicle ownership.

How do we do it?

We provide accurate, certified vehicle valuations that give owners clarity, confidence, and control over their asset’s true worth.

Many vehicle owners are unknowingly underinsured — often due to outdated market data, limited understanding of niche or appreciating models, or undervaluation through standard insurance processes. As a result, they may be left with coverage that falls well short of their vehicle’s actual value.

Our solution is simple: deliver detailed, defensible valuations that reflect the real market worth of a vehicle. These reports not only strengthen insurance cover but also protect the owner’s asset — and, by extension, their personal net worth — against the financial consequences of theft, damage, or total loss.
