Know the recon before you bid.

Carfax tells you what happened. VehicleIQ tells you what it’ll cost.

Recon decision support for dealers: it reads the Carfax or AutoCheck you already pulled and estimates the recon behind it.

Not a physical inspection, not a title or history provider, not a profit guarantee.

Before the sale

Prep the run list

Run the history reports for the cars you’re considering ahead of the auction. Each one is saved to your Garage with its recon estimate and what to check.

In the lane

Open the saved report

Look the car up in your Garage by VIN. Nothing to upload and no waiting while the car is on the block.

How it works

  1. Sign up and verify your emailFree account in a minute. We email you a sign-in link; that verified address is how you get back to your Garage.
  2. Upload or paste the reportDrop the Carfax or AutoCheck PDF, or paste the text, one car at a time. Next: forward up to 20 cars per email. Not live yet.
  3. Get the analysis in your GarageEach report is analyzed and saved to your Garage. Next: a “ready” email for batches. Not live yet.

What you get on every car

The call

Good to bid, Inspect before you bid, or Walk away. A thin or unreadable report never gets “Good to bid.”

An evidence-based recon estimate

Itemized, with the basis for each line: what your report says, or a documented pattern for that model. Anything a history report can’t tell us says “unknown.”

Checks for the lot

What to look at in person, built from the report and the model’s documented issues. Recall matches are model-level; verify the VIN with NHTSA.

A max bid, from your own numbers

Shown only once you’ve entered expected retail and your store settings. We never fill in retail for you. Store settings: next. Not live yet.

DEMO / SAMPLE Lot Read · AutoCheck
2017 Ford F-150 XLT — 93,412 mi
3.5L EcoBoost V6 (unconfirmed) · example report
PSI-FIRST
Bottom line: Clean 2-owner title, but the 3.5 EcoBoost cam phasers are a known rattle at this mileage. Budget recon and it's a buy.
Red flags
✓ None found — clean title, no flood/salvage/frame, odometer consistent.
What the history report says
One minor rear impact is on the record.
“Accident reported 03/12/2021 — rear impact, minor damage.” — from your report
Recon exposure
$900 – $1,900
• Cam phaser / timing — $600–1,200 known pattern · verify
• Brakes overdue per service gap — $300–500 history
Subtract from your number. Estimate from history + known patterns — not a teardown.
Disclosure & liability
• NHTSA recall 17V529000 covers certain 2017 F-150s: “The air bag inflator within the passenger frontal air bag module may rupture in the event of a crash.” Verify this VIN’s recall status at nhtsa.gov/recalls (NHTSA · sample)
• 1 reported minor rear impact — disclose per your state
Sample figures for illustration. History-based risk read — not a physical inspection, not a price. Confirm in person; your market sets the number.

Max bid, with your numbers

Expected retail − target gross − recon − fees − transport − holding − contingency. Retail is what you expect to sell it for, entered by you; we never substitute a book or auction value for it.

Assumptions are yours. No profit or savings is promised. The max-bid calculator arrives with store settings (next, not live yet).

Works alongside your stack

Keep your DMS, your Carfax or AutoCheck subscription and your book values. VehicleIQ reads the report you already have and adds the recon read next to them; there is nothing to integrate. Export your Garage as CSV for your own records.

Questions dealers ask

What isn’t included?

Your Carfax or AutoCheck subscription, auction and buyer fees, transport and physical inspections are all separate. VehicleIQ reads the report you already have, as a PDF or pasted text.

How is the recon estimated?

From what the history report says plus documented patterns for that model, and each line says which. Costs are estimates with their basis shown. If the report doesn’t say, the answer is “unknown,” not “clean.” A model-level recall match is not proof of an open recall on this VIN; verify the VIN’s recall status with NHTSA.

Is it a guarantee?

No. It’s decision support, not an appraisal, an inspection or a promise of profit or savings. The assumptions in any max-bid figure are yours.

Does it replace a pre-sale inspection or arbitration?

No. It tells you what to have your own inspector check. It doesn’t replace an inspection or your auction’s arbitration process.

Who can see my reports?

Reports are private to your store. They’re not shown to other dealers. Only the people you add (up to 3 users) can open your Garage.

How many cars can I run at once?

Today you run one car at a time by upload or paste. Emailing PDFs in is planned, up to 20 distinct cars per email, analyzed in the background with an email when they’re ready. It isn’t live yet.

What happens after the 5 free reports?

$79 per month per store, with up to 3 users, cancel anytime. Re-running a VIN you already analyzed doesn’t use another free report, and neither does a run that fails.
