Every time something breaks
One brake job, two Chicago shops. Of 600+ shops called, more than two thirds changed their quote when the caller mentioned the industry standard price. The AI mechanic gives you that number first.
What Avturo does
Before you buy, and for as long as you own it.
Four tools on one account: one for the car you're looking at, and three for the one you end up with.
Before you buy
Analyze a listing
Paste a link, the ad text, or a screenshot. A minute later: how the price compares with similar listings, which of our 119 documented faults or other known problems affect that year, and what to offer.
Before you buy
Compare two cars
Side by side, with a straight verdict on which is the better buy and why.
After you buy
My Garage
A daily check of NHTSA recall records for your car's model year, an email when a new campaign is added, and what's due at your mileage.
After you buy
AI mechanic
Knows the car you saved and its service log, searches the web as it answers, shows its sources. Know more about the repair than the shop quoting it, before you pay.
Official NHTSA recall records, for US and Canadian cars. Live asking prices from comparable listings. Any listing, anywhere in the world.
Why Avturo
Every app we checked does half the job.
The tools split in two. Apps that check a listing stop the day you buy. Apps that keep a garage cannot help you buy. Avturo is on both sides of the purchase.
| Capability | Listing checkers | Garage apps | Avturo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reads a listing from any site, including Facebook Marketplace | |||
| Compares the asking price with similar cars listed now, when enough are found | |||
| Names the problems documented for that model, with typical repair costs and where each came from | |||
| Suggests how to negotiate, with an opening offer when market data supports one | |||
| Checks the car you own for new recalls, every day | |||
| An AI mechanic that knows your car and its service log | |||
| All of it, on one account |
Categories, not brands: the apps in each column do their half well, and several do it very well. Checked against the listing and garage apps on the App Store and Google Play in September 2026. Avturo's daily recall check covers US and Canadian cars.
The report
A history report tells you where the car has been. Avturo tells you where it's going.
It reads the ad the way a mechanic would, and the part that costs you money is what the ad leaves out.
This ad said nothing about the tires. Or the gearbox.
- Priced above the market
- 23 comparable cars were listed when it was checked. This one is asking more than the median of them.
- $1,250
- Tires, unmentioned
- 61,203 miles and not a word about them. A worn set is a bill you inherit on day one.
- $800
- A service with no record
- Honda's Maintenance Minder, not a fixed mileage, says when the CVT fluid is due, and the history the seller listed shows no fluid change at 61,203 miles.
- $300
$2,350
across those three lines:
your case for a lower offer.
Then it suggests where to open the offer. For this sample: “I can do $20,700 today.” Paste any listing: Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, CarGurus, or anywhere a car is sold.
Sample listing, real report format, real documented CR-V issues. Your first 3 car checks are free.
Talk to it
Or just talk to Avturo.
Every report has a voice button. Tap it and have a real conversation about the car, on the sofa or standing in front of it, the way you'd phone a friend who knows cars. It has read the whole report, and it searches the web for prices mid-sentence rather than guessing.
At the car, it earns its keep twice over: hold the phone up and it asks the seller the things you'd forget, then asks you to step away for a second and tells you what it really thinks.
No audio is recorded. You get a transcript in the car's chat afterwards. Included in Pro. If someone else is with you, tell them first.

Do I need to budget for a timing belt on this one?
No belt to budget for. The 2.0 turbo in this A4 runs a timing chain. Ask him for the oil change receipts instead.

Before you paste
The questions people ask first.
What is Avturo?
Avturo is the AI assistant for buying and owning a car. Paste any car listing, a link, the ad text, or a screenshot, new or used, from any site, and in under a minute you see how its asking price compares with similar live listings (or an AI estimate, labelled as one, when too few turn up), the problems known for that model and year, the official NHTSA recall campaigns for its model year (US and Canadian cars), and what to offer. After you buy, My Garage checks NHTSA every day for new recall campaigns on your car's model year and emails you when one is added, tracks service, and includes an AI mechanic that knows the car you saved and its service log. The first 3 car checks are free, and the full report is Pro.
How is Avturo different from other car apps?
Every app we checked does half the job. Apps that check a listing stop the day you buy. Apps that keep a garage cannot help you buy one. Avturo does both on one account: it reads any listing, compares the asking price with live listings, names the problems known for that model and year and suggests what to offer; then it checks NHTSA every day for new recall campaigns on the car you own (US and Canadian cars) and gives you an AI mechanic that knows it. One payment, no subscription.
Can Avturo analyze Facebook Marketplace listings?
Yes. Avturo analyzes Facebook Marketplace listings: paste the URL or the ad text, or upload a screenshot, to check the car.
What is the 'My Garage' feature for?
My Garage is your personal vehicle hub for after you buy. Add your car to get an AI-written maintenance schedule, log its service history, get a daily check for new NHTSA recall campaigns on its model year (US and Canadian cars) with an email when one is added, and chat with an AI mechanic that knows the car you saved and its service log.
Can I talk to Avturo out loud?
Yes. On any report, tap the voice button and talk to the assistant the way you would call a friend who knows cars. It has read the whole report, so you can ask what the timing belt costs on that engine, or what to offer, and it answers in a sentence or two. You can stand at the car with it: hold your phone up, let the seller answer its questions, then step away and ask it what it really thinks. It searches the web for prices while you talk rather than guessing, and you can type a VIN or send a photo without hanging up. No audio is recorded, you get a transcript in the chat afterwards, and it is included in Pro. Every account can try it free: 3 minutes in total, across as many calls as you like.
Can Avturo replace a mechanic?
No. Use Avturo to triage risks; always get a pre-purchase inspection.
What does Pro include?
Avturo Pro is a pass, paid once: 30 days for $6.99, a year for $49.99, or lifetime for $89.99, with no subscription. It includes unlimited listing reports, the negotiation strategy and Deep Model Insight, side-by-side comparisons, unlimited cars in My Garage, unlimited questions to the AI mechanic, and voice chat: talking to the assistant out loud, 5 hours a month.
