Buy any car without getting ripped off.

A general chatbot will guess. Avturo checks the listing against 121 documented year-and-trim failures, official NHTSA recall data, and live prices for comparable listings — then tells you what to pay.

What you get

A history report tells you where the car has been. Avturo tells you where it's going.

Carfax and title checks cover the past — accidents, owners, mileage records. Avturo reads the listing the way a mechanic would: what's known to fail on this exact year, what it's worth today, and what it'll cost to keep running.

Year-specific defects

Knows the 2017-19 CR-V oil dilution, the EA888 carbon buildup, the BMW VANOS rattle — and flags them before you ask.

Real market price

Compares the asking price against live comparable listings in the same year range and condition, not a vague KBB estimate.

Negotiation script

Word-for-word what to say to bring the price down, based on the exact red flags found in the listing.

Pre-purchase checklist

A custom inspection list to bring to the test drive — engine, suspension, electronics — tailored to that year and trim.

Quote defender

After you own it: paste a repair quote and find out if it's fair — checked against current parts prices, local labor rates, and how hard the job actually is.

Official recall lookup

Pulls open safety recalls straight from NHTSA records for the VIN, so you know exactly what's still outstanding.

Built on a hand-curated database of 121 documented failure patterns across 19 makes, official NHTSA recall and VIN records, and live market listings.

My Garage · Always On

Mechanic just quoted me $3,200 to replace the timing belt on my 2017 Audi A4. Is that fair?
That's high. Fair price for a 2017 A4 2.0T timing belt + water pump + tensioners is $1,400–$1,800. The shop's charging dealer rates for an indie-shop job. Get one more quote from a German-specialist before approving.
Battery warning light just came on. Safe to drive home?
Yes — short trips are fine. The 2017 A4 has an auxiliary battery near the right-rear wheel well that fails around this age. Replace within 1–2 weeks ($200 part + $80 labor at an indie shop).
