Our Services at a Glance

As an independent vehicle appraiser and TÜV NORD partner in Erlangen, I assess vehicles across six core areas — quickly, neutrally and in a form admissible in court.

Accident Report — Car Appraiser Erlangen Varadinov: precise damage analysis after collision
Damage Reports

Accident Reports

After a no-fault accident, you have the legal right to an independent appraiser of your own choice. We document the full damage — visible and hidden, depreciation, repair path and loss-of-use compensation.

As a rule, the other party's liability insurer covers the cost. We bill the insurer directly — you pay nothing.

  • Complete damage assessment with photo documentation
  • Repair and replacement cost calculation
  • Evaluation of merchant-value depreciation
  • Calculation of loss-of-use compensation
  • Court-admissible documentation for lawyer and insurer

Vehicle Valuation — Car Appraiser Erlangen Varadinov: market value assessment
Market Valuation

Vehicle Valuations

Whether for a private sale, inheritance, divorce, leasing return or submission to the tax office — a well-founded valuation report provides clarity about the current market value of your vehicle and is recognised in court.

The valuation is carried out using established methods (DAT, Schwacke), taking condition, equipment, mileage and the regional market situation into account.

  • Market value, replacement value, dealer purchase value
  • Detailed condition assessment inside, outside and technical
  • Equipment and special-equipment documentation
  • Well-founded comparative-market analysis
  • Transparent fixed-price quote before instruction

Classic Car Appraisal — Car Appraiser Erlangen Varadinov: H-plate & vintage valuation
Classics & H-Number Plate

Classic Car Appraisals

For H-plate registration (§23 StVZO) and for classic-car insurers such as Allianz, OCC or Helvetia, a qualified appraisal is mandatory. We assess classics and youngtimers with an eye for originality, substance and market position.

Condition grades 1 (concours condition) to 5 are graded precisely — decisive for the insurance value and H-plate eligibility.

  • Condition grade 1–5 according to classic-car standards
  • Evaluation of originality (paint, interior, technology)
  • H-plate eligibility under §23 StVZO
  • Restoration and substance assessment
  • Insurance valuation report for classic-car policies

Engine Damage Report — Car Appraiser Erlangen Varadinov: technical root-cause analysis
Combustion Engines

Engine Damage Reports

In the case of engine damage or a dispute with a workshop or seller, a technical root-cause analysis is decisive. We analyse the damage mechanism, assess whether repair is worthwhile and check existing cost estimates for plausibility.

Common topics: piston seizure, connecting-rod bearing damage, timing-belt or chain failure, hydrolock, overheating, turbocharger defect. We provide clarity for warranty, guarantee or insurance cases.

  • Technical root-cause analysis with evidence preservation
  • Assessment of warranty vs. guarantee case
  • Repair cost calculation and cost-estimate review
  • Evaluation of repair viability vs. economic total loss
  • Court-admissible documentation

UVV inspection van — Car Appraiser Erlangen Varadinov
Commercial vehicles

UVV Safety Inspection

The UVV inspection is the statutory annual safety inspection per DGUV Regulation 70 (formerly BGV D29) for all commercially used vehicles — from company cars through vans and trucks to trailers and specialised vehicles with tail lifts or cranes.

Legally robust documentation protects against fines of up to €50,000, against loss of insurance cover and against personal managing-director liability per § 130 OWiG. On request, we inspect your fleet directly on-site at your business.

  • Inspection per current DGUV Regulation 70
  • On-site appointments at your business
  • Full fleet management possible
  • Digitally archived inspection protocols
  • Reminder service for annual recurring inspection

Used car pre-purchase check — Car Appraiser Erlangen Varadinov
Before purchase

Used Car Check

Independent on-site pre-purchase inspection protects you from hidden defects, overpriced offers and later repair costs. Whether private seller or dealer — a neutral expert eye reveals what the advert does not.

Visual inspection, paint thickness measurement, OBD diagnostics and written report give you objective negotiation leverage and a clear recommendation: buy, renegotiate or walk away.

  • On-site appointment at the seller's location
  • Paint thickness measurement reveals prior damage
  • OBD diagnostics expose fault memory entries
  • Written report with photo documentation
  • Concrete negotiation recommendation as outcome
