Your Vehicle Appraiser in Forchheim and surroundings
With just under 32,000 residents, Forchheim is the district capital of the Forchheim Landkreis and forms the traffic link between Erlangen and Bamberg along the A73. Its position between the river Regnitz and Franconian Switzerland generates high traffic volumes — particularly along the Hauptstraße, the Bamberger Straße, the junction at the Königsbad and the Forchheim-Süd and Forchheim-Nord exits of the A73, which are frequent destinations for our appraisers after accidents. Rear-end collisions are a regular occurrence here in the morning stop-and-go traffic.
From our Erlangen headquarters on Schallershoferstraße, we reach Forchheim in just 15 kilometres on the A73 — usually within 20 minutes. We look after accident victims in the Forchheim districts of Burk, Reuth, Kersbach, Buckenhofen and Serlbach, as well as in the historic Kaiserpfalz town centre. The surrounding municipalities of Eggolsheim, Hausen, Pinzberg, Ebermannstadt and Gräfenberg also form part of our regular service area. The Forchheim district vehicle registration office on Am Streckerplatz accepts our valuation reports for re-registration without issue.
As a TÜV NORD partner and personally certified appraiser, Stoyan Varadinov works strictly neutrally — an important advantage in a more rural region like Forchheim, where some workshops also act as insurance partners and conflicts of interest can arise.

Access and service area for Forchheim
Forchheim lies just 15 kilometres north of Erlangen — via the A73 our appraisers are usually on-site in under 20 minutes. The B470 in addition gives us access to Franconian Switzerland with Ebermannstadt, Gößweinstein, Pottenstein and Muggendorf, and to the north the road continues towards Bamberg. We come to you on-site: to the workshop in Burk, to the Königsbad, to the hospital on Krankenhausstraße, into the Reuth industrial estate, into the rural Kersbach area, or to the workshop of your choice. Appointments in Forchheim can be arranged especially quickly — often the same day — thanks to the short journey from Erlangen.
Why an independent car appraiser in Forchheim?
After a no-fault accident in Forchheim, § 249 BGB gives you the right to instruct your own appraiser. The other party's liability insurer covers the cost. Importantly: the insurer is not allowed to dictate the appraiser, even when the claims hotline in Hamburg, Munich or Cologne implies otherwise. In Forchheim, just as everywhere else in Germany, the choice is yours.
An independent report contains not just repair costs and depreciation but also the loss-of-use compensation and, in a total-loss case, the replacement value with a residual-value offer. Insurer-owned inspection reports do not reach this depth — and they are no substitute for expert evidence before a court in Forchheim or Bamberg.
