“When my food truck was totaled in Dayton, the insurance company’s first offer didn’t come close to covering its true value, including the built-in kitchen equipment I rely on for my business. I ordered a SnapClaim total loss appraisal, and their report highlighted accurate local market comparisons across Montgomery County. Thanks to their detailed documentation, the insurer increased the payout significantly, allowing me to replace my truck and continue serving my customers without missing a day.”
