Our Story

The Appraisal Lane was founded in 2015 by a group of friends. We all work in the automotive industry, and we noticed that drivers were misinformed and confused by online value estimates from popular internet sites. As we started working toward a solution, one key fact kept coming up again and again:

We realized that what people needed was not an estimate, but a real appraisal and an exact value.

We began assembling a team of experienced appraisers who could handle hundreds of cars every day, and we partnered up with a powerhouse team of developers from Uruguay to make it happen.

Every month, The Appraisal Lane allows thousands of people to get the exact value of their car without guessing or haggling.

Our team is 100 people strong and growing fast, with offices in Austin, TX and Montevideo, Uruguay.

We make it easy for anyone to sell or trade their car.
