Corpus Christi is a coastal city in the South Texas region of the U.S. state of Texas. The county seat of Nueces County also extends into the Aransas, Kleberg, and San Patricio counties. The metropolitan area population in 2008 was 416,376. The population was 305,215 at the 2010 census making it the eighth most populous city in the state of Texas. It is the principal city of the tri-county Corpus Christi Metropolitan Statistical Area, as well as the larger Corpus Christi-Kingsville Combined Statistical Area. The translation from Latin of the city's name is Body of Christ, given to the settlement by the Spanish, in honor of the Blessed Sacrament (Eucharist). The city has been nicknamed the "Sparkling City by the Sea", particularly in literature promoting tourism.

Corpus Christi is served by Corpus Christi International Airport and Interstate 37. U.S. Highway 77 connects the city to Brownsville and Victoria. Texas State Highway 44 is a main thoroughfare that connects Corpus Christi to Laredo and the western part of South Texas by way of U.S. Highway 59, Interstate 35, and U.S. Highway 83. The inner city public transportation is provided by Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority with its 28 bus routes. Corpus Christi once had a streetcar system functioning from 1910 to 1931 and a railway station (passenger service ended in 1965). In the early 2000s, there were plans to reintroduce a trolley system back to downtown Corpus Christi, but any plans have since gone dead. Despite the convenience of a large harbor, the city does not have a passenger port. Plans to bring a cruise service are pending.

"While driving to work one day, a drink truck rear ended me.  The accident caused almost $10,000 in repairs to my Dodge Ram Pickup.  After the repairs were done, I asked my insurance company about diminished value.  They said you will need to hire a certified auto appraiser to perform the appraisal.  So I started calling around and talked to a few appraisal companies before I got Pinnacle on the line.  After speaking with them I could tell they knew a lot more about diminished value and the procedures of filing the claim; than the other companies I called.  Not only was the process smooth but they were able to get me what I deserved.  Great job!" - Gary L. - Victoria, TX

"After restoring my 1967 Ford Mustang, I needed to increase the coverage on my classic car insurance policy.  The insurance company advised me to hire a certified classic car appraiser, someone that is experienced on my type of vehicle.  I hired Pinnacle Auto Appraisers to inspect and appraise my Mustang.  Not only is their reports very thorough but very up to date.  They show what the vehicle is currently selling for, current condition rating of the vehicle and book value.  Of course there is a lot more included with the report, but this was what I was most interested in.  Pinnacle knows the correct way of doing a classic car appraisal and I recommend anyone to hire this company for your classic car appraisal needs."
