Licensed vehicle appraiser services in South Carolina

South Carolina requires vehicle appraisers to hold an active state credential before they can act in insurance appraisals. SecondAppraisal acts through Jonathon A. Thomas, who holds the required South Carolina credential, so when you invoke your policy's appraisal clause we can serve as your appraiser the way South Carolina law expects — and you can verify his credential directly with the state.

South Carolina's total-loss framework is governed by S.C. Code Ann. § 38-59-20; S.C. Code Ann. § 38-59-40; S.C. Code Ann. §§ 38-49-10 et seq. (MV Physical Damage Appraisers Act); S.C. Code Regs. 69-16; S.C. Code Ann. §§ 38-47-10 et seq. (Adjusters Act); S.C. Code Ann. § 56-19-480; S.C. Code Ann. § 56-3-627 — official source ↗.

• Independently verifiable — our credentials are public record. Verify them with the state before you engage us.
• Appraisal-clause ready — under the appraisal clause of your policy, if it has one, you can appoint us as your appraiser. Your policy's own clause sets the terms.
• State-specific expertise — total-loss thresholds, valuation rules, and consumer rights differ by state; we work South Carolina claims under South Carolina rules.
