My name is Randy Paddock, President of No Fear Motor Sports. I have participated in the classic car hobby for over 50 years. I purchased my first hot rod at age 15, before receiving my driver's license. I have appraised and inspected hundreds of classic vehicles, and acted as client representative both at live auctions and via the internet as purchasing and selling agent.
I subcontract as a third party appraiser and inspector for several major insurance company Total Loss Divisions. For ten years I was the general manager at one of the largest classic car dealerships in the Midwest. I have served as President of No Fear Motor Sports since 1997. I personally owned numerous vehicles, from factory stock originals to modified street machines and race cars.

I can see why everyone is giving 5 stars. Randy showed all of the things already written about him: professional, thorough, helpful, high quality work. He is obviously talented and knows what he is doing. I needed help valuing a ‘29 Model A Tudor sedan, and he exceeded my expectations. Completely recommend!

I see nothing but 5 Star reviews for Randy, and here is another! I sought Randy’s opinion for a second time recently to assess two vehicles, one a 1960’s muscle car and the other an early 2000’s exotic. Randy performed many hours of research on both cars and was very informed about both when we met for the appraisal. His research was thorough and his sources were excellent. The end result was a very detailed, comprehensive appraisal fully supported by data and recent market trends. Randy’s name is going on his appraisal and he takes that responsibility seriously. I highly recommend his

Randy is one of those guys that - tells you what he is going to do, does what he said he would do, and then shows, tells, and describes what he has done.
This is a man of great professionalism - he's a clear communicator and is highly accessible. While we've never met in person I feel as tho - he treated me like a friend.
He's running a well oiled machine of a professional service - if you are lucky enough to connect with him you will be nothing short of feeling great about the experience. Thanks Randy.

So glad I decided to engage Randy, not once but twice, on a classic car investment. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but responsive, thorough, and professional. I would have made a mistake on the first car (it looked great), but I know I made the right decision on the second one with his help. So don't buy without having Randy provide you with his thorough, detailed report and value assessment - not worth the risk.

Randy Paddock the owner of No Fear Motorsports just completed an inspection for me on a vehicle that I am purchasing. The vehicle is located in another state, so I was not able to view it in person. Randy provided a written inspection report, and 200+ photos from all angles for me to review. He took the vehicle for a test drive to confirm the drive worthiness, and he also checked to make sure everything works on the vehicle. He also pointed out all of the flaws and provided photos of them. I would highly recommend him if you need an inspection on a classic car. It's rare to find someone today who

Randy superbly performed my pre purchase vehicle inspection and delivered an informative report. Since the vehicle was located in Illinois and I live in California, I needed a comprehensive, systematic and detailed pre-purchase inspection. Randy made me feel like I was personally looking at and test driving the vehicle. His report was thorough, demonstrating his amazing expertise. He also provided timely guidance and responded to my questions following the initial inspection, while items reported were being addressed by the seller. I would definitely hire Randy again.

Randy is very professional and right away you can tell he loves what he does. With his research, Randy even found things about my car that was good information to have. Getting my classic appraised by no fear motor sports was money well spent. I recommend Randy because he knew a lot with all of his experience.

No Fear Motor Sports Classic Car Appraisals is a TOP NOTCH business. Randy is outstanding in knowledge, assessment, customer service, patience and friendliness. I'm not sure there's enough superlatives to describe his business. Randy is through, detailed and efficient. What Randy didn't know about me personally, is the fact that t I am an arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association National Panel, as well as The Northern Illinois Better Business Bureau Panel of Arbitrators,, specifically serving in automobile disputes and buy-backs. As such, I have knowledge of automobiles, however, when
