How it works

Four steps from “they’re here” to a signed offer.

No clipboard, no guesswork, no calling the used-car manager over to eyeball a bumper. The platform guides the walk-around and the AI writes the recon sheet.

Start Visual Inspection

The seller’s Instant Car Bid offer is already open. One click launches the guided inspection on any phone or tablet.

Guided photo walk-around

The appraiser is prompted panel by panel — exterior, wheels, interior, glass — so nothing gets skipped, on any unit, by any staff member.

AI detects the damage

Every photo is analyzed in real time. Dings, curb rash, tears, scratches and more are identified, labeled and located on the vehicle.

Recon value, applied

Each finding gets a reconditioning cost. The total adjusts the IME-priced offer, and the seller sees a number that’s explained, not argued.

Why it matters

Consistent appraisals, whoever’s on the lot.

Your best appraiser isn’t always the one standing at the car. AI damage detection makes every inspection as thorough as your best one — and gives the seller a reason to believe the number.

  • Same process, same standards, every appraiser, every unit
  • Photo evidence attached to every deduction — fewer arguments, more signatures
  • Reconditioning surprises caught before the check is written
  • Offer math tied to IME Dealer market pricing, not a gut feel
  • Full inspection record stored with the deal for the desk, the shop, and the auditor
