What MotoIQ does, and what it leaves to you.
It does
- Runs profit and ROI math on the numbers you give it.
- Decodes any VIN into NHTSA factory specs and open recalls.
- Turns a pile of problems into an ordered repair plan with cost and time estimates.
- Keeps your saved deals and logged comps in your own browser.
It does not
- Pull accident, owner or mileage history. That data comes from paid services.
- Tell you what a car is worth. You bring the comps, it does the math.
- Guarantee a profit or a repair cost. Every figure is an estimate for planning.
- Sync between devices yet. Saved deals live in the browser you saved them in.
Run the numbers before your next offer.
