Type or scan a VIN. Appraise returns the wholesale value, retail comps from real listings near your lot and a max buy, with the math shown line by line.
Three tools that each work on their own. Use one, any two, or run all three on the same VIN and the results stack on one car.
Plug a Bluetooth reader into the port under the dash and tap Scan.
Take as many photos as you like. Every shot is optional.
VIN and km in. Every line of the math one tap away.
No reader with you? Value works with just a VIN and km. Inspect works with just photos.
Clearing codes before a trade-in turns the light off. It doesn’t erase the evidence. Appraise reads what a quick clear leaves behind and flags it in red.
From the first scan to the bill of sale, everything stays with the car and your whole team sees it.
Days in stock, money tied up and expected profit for every unit, with its price against similar cars near you.
Snap an invoice or bill of sale. Line items, GST/PST/HST and totals are read for you and checked before saving.
Invite your appraisers and managers. Appraisals are shared across the dealership and rates are set once for everyone.
Know when a car you appraised is listed for sale, or a cheaper competitor shows up near one of yours. Quiet at night.
Text photos and a clean write-up to your wholesalers from your own phone. Your internal numbers stay private.
One account on every device. Scan with Bluetooth on your phone, or in Chrome on a laptop.
Appraise was started by a Calgary used-car dealer, for the way Canadian lots actually work.
Limited to the first 25 Calgary dealerships. Start your trial and we’ll set you up with a Bluetooth OBD reader that works with iPhone and Android.
One reader per dealership. Calgary-area dealerships only, while the first 25 spots last.
Values are estimates built from comparable listings near your dealership, adjusted for kilometres, condition and your reconditioning costs. Each value shows how many comps it used and a confidence label. It’s a starting point for your judgement, not a guaranteed price.
No. Value works with just a VIN and km, and Inspect works with just photos. A reader adds the engine scan and the cleared-code fraud flags. The first 25 Calgary dealerships get one free with their trial.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) readers: OBDLink CX (recommended), Vgate iCar Pro BLE and vLinker BLE models. iPhones can’t connect to “classic” Bluetooth ELM327 readers, so check the box says BLE or Bluetooth 4.0 or newer.
Any 1996 or newer vehicle with an OBD-II port. Generic OBD-II reads powertrain codes (engine and emissions), not airbag, ABS or body modules. Electric and hybrid support is partial.
No. AI findings are flags for a person to review, not a mechanical inspection. You accept, edit or dismiss each one, and the recon cost always comes from your own rates.
Yes. There’s an iPhone app, an Android app and a web app at app.appraisefordealers.ca that runs in any browser. Bluetooth scanning on a computer needs Chrome or Edge.
Every new dealership gets 14 days free, no card needed. When the trial ends, your saved appraisals stay readable and you can pick a plan.
Yes. Invite appraisers and managers from Settings. Everyone at your dealership sees the same appraisals, inventory and rates, according to their role.
In Canada (Montréal). Each dealership can only see its own data, photos are kept in private storage, and we never sell personal information. Read the privacy policy.
Start your 14-day free trial on the web today, or book 15 minutes and we’ll run a real VIN with you.
