Enter your car's year, make, and model. Get an expert deep-dive on every known issue, how common it is, and what it costs to fix — before you sign anything.
The problem
Every used car has a history. Some issues are dealbreakers. Others are cheap fixes. You need to know which is which — before you buy.
Transmission slips, engine burn, timing chain rattle — invisible at a glance, devastating after purchase.
Faulty BCMs, broken HVAC actuators, failing sensors — modern cars have complex electronics that fail in predictable ways.
The average unexpected repair on a used car purchase is $1,200–$4,800. That's a lot for a car you just bought.
Every car has known patterns. The 2015 Ford Focus DSG clutch. The 2016 Subaru head gaskets. Know yours before you buy.

Reviews
"Found out the exact Chevy Equinox we were about to buy had a known piston ring issue. Walked away. Bought a different one. Saved ourselves $3,800."
"I used this at the dealership on my phone. The salesperson had no idea what I was looking at. Negotiated $1,200 off based on the transmission service history flag."
"Worth 100x the price. The report told me exactly where to look on the BMW sunroof drains. They were clogged. Dealer fixed them before I signed — a $600 repair."
