Why AutoReportCard

The AutoReportCard advantage:

  • No cutting corners:
    Our inspections, done at full-service garages, are more thorough than mobile inspections:
    • We put the car on a lift and look carefully underneath at important parts that can’t be inspected otherwise.
    • Actual mechanics will inspect your car using our standardized step-by-step procedure.
    • Our test drive includes detailed criteria for evaluation, including a freeway drive, not just a quick trip around the block using a mental checklist.

  • Compare “apples to apples:”
    Online reports can be directly compared because the inspection procedure and standards are the same everywhere.

  • Know your inspector:
    We only establish partnerships with reputable independent mechanics in your area that have already been vetted online (e.g. via Yelp). Our inspectors don’t just show up and then disappear.

  • We don’t just say pass/fail:
    We use specific measurements when applicable to help you better understand the car’s condition.

  • Complete Reports:
    Our reports not only include easy to understand summaries of the inspection but also include details that would satisfy a demanding car expert.

  • Certified AutoReportCard:
    Inspected vehicles with high scores may qualify for AutoReportCard Certified status which help sellers sell their cars even faster and gives buyers added peace of mind.
