How our remote car review works

Same simple process for a used car second opinion, a remote pre-purchase review, or a value opinion. Everything happens remotely, from the materials you or the seller provide.

01

Pick a service & send it in

Choose a Full Verdict (or Quick Look) or a What's It Worth? service. Pay securely on our site, then paste the listing link, share an album link (or attach photos to your request email) and give us the VIN. We review every order within a few hours. If we can't take your car, you get a full refund.

02

We check the file

We review the file when it arrives and tell you if any photos, video, or paperwork are still missing. The 24-hour clock starts once your photos and info are complete. Our AI-assisted research decodes the VIN and tags, pulls comparable sales and checks the photos against our checklist.

03

We review and sign your report

Every report is reviewed, corrected and signed by an appraiser. Every report is delivered within 24 hours of complete photos and info. We can't guarantee a report before an auction ends, so order early in the auction week.

What we do

  • Review listing text, photos, video and paperwork
  • Decode VINs, serials, door and cowl tags, if the car has one
  • Point out likely concerns we can see: rust, body, paint and mechanical items visible in the materials
  • Give rough planning cost bands (not a quote or estimate)
  • Give a fair-value range with the comparable sales behind it
  • Write the questions and photo requests to send the seller

What we don't do

  • See, touch, drive or lift the vehicle
  • Code scans, compression tests or test drives
  • Title searches, lien checks or emissions/CARB legality
  • Certified appraisals for insurance, loans, court, probate or taxes
  • Warrant the condition of any vehicle
  • Take money from the seller of a car we review for a buyer

Who we are

Every report is reviewed by an appraiser with 15 years in the trade and 5 years appraising vehicles, backed by a research desk that pulls auction comps and history. Research and drafting are AI-assisted, and an appraiser reviews, corrects and signs every report. On the buyer side we never take money from the seller of a car we review.
