Frequently Asked Questions

You provide a car listing by pasting its link, text, or by uploading a screenshot. Our AI then analyzes the content, extracts key data, identifies potential red flags, and provides a simple, easy-to-read report. For Pro users, it provides even deeper insights to help you make a smart decision. Learn more on our How It Works page.

Avturo offers a free Starter plan: your first 3 car checks are free, each with the deal grade, the red flags and the worst known problem. For the full report, Avturo Pro is a one-time payment (no recurring subscription) available as three passes: a 30-Day Pass ($6.99), a 1-Year Pass ($49.99), and a Lifetime Pass ($89.99). Every paid pass unlocks the full report on every car and all Pro features. See our pricing page for full details.

My Garage is your personal vehicle hub. You can add your cars to get an AI-powered maintenance schedule, check for official safety recalls, and chat with an AI mechanic specifically about your vehicle's issues or history. It’s designed to help you manage ownership long after the purchase.

The Q&A feature, available at the bottom of every report, is like having an expert mechanic in your pocket. After you get your analysis, you can ask specific follow-up questions about that car (e.g., 'What are the most expensive repairs for this model?' or 'Is this a good car for snow?'). Our AI will provide a direct answer based on the listing and its extensive automotive knowledge.

This is a key benefit of our Pro reports. The AI goes beyond a basic summary and provides model-specific information, such as common mechanical or electrical issues for that car's year range, a custom pre-purchase inspection checklist, and an estimated annual maintenance cost (scheduled service + likely out-of-warranty repairs).

Our AI is a powerful tool designed to provide helpful guidance, but it is not a substitute for a professional pre-purchase inspection (PPI). The analysis is based on the data provided in the listing and general automotive knowledge. Always verify critical information yourself and get a mechanic's opinion before buying. Read our post on 6 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a Used Car for more on this.
