Start Your AppraisalWhy Courtenay Drivers Overpay PST — and How to Fix It
Courtenay averages about 55 cm of snow a year, but the number that matters is Mount Washington above it. A lot of Comox Valley vehicles do winter runs up the mountain road, which means chains, sanded corners and brake and drivetrain wear the odometer does not show. Down in the valley the roads are rural and the driveways are gravel, so stone chips and underbody wear are ordinary here rather than exceptional.
Courtenay market snapshot

Courtenay FIN-320 Appraisal FAQ
Do Comox Valley brokers accept the FIN-320?
Yes. It is the standard BC Ministry of Finance form, accepted at any Autoplan broker including Courtenay and Comox offices.
Is there anyone local who does appraisals?
You do not need anyone local. Everything is done from your photos and paperwork, so the Comox Valley gets exactly the same turnaround as Vancouver.
The truck gets driven up to the mountain all winter. Does that matter?
It can, and it is worth documenting. Sustained winter mountain use puts wear on brakes, drivetrain and underbody that mileage alone understates.
Can I submit at the weekend?
Yes. We run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included.
What if the vehicle is not running?
That is fine. Tell us what is wrong and send photos. A non-running vehicle is worth documenting properly, because the gap against book value is usually widest there.
