Everything AutoEdge does

Android App

Get a vehicle in seconds

Four ways in, so a beat-up sticker or a missing VIN never stops you.

• Scan the VIN barcode off a door jamb, dash plate, or auction ticket
• Reads Code 39, Code 128, QR, and Data Matrix symbols
• Photograph a printed VIN and let on-device text recognition read it
• Type the VIN by hand when that's faster
• No VIN at all? Enter year, make, and model and keep going
• Flashlight toggle for dark dashboards and door jambs
• Decoded specs: trim, engine, transmission, drivetrain, body, fuel
• Plus cylinders, doors, assembly plant, and manufacturer
• Factory build sheet with the original packages and options
• Prior listing history for that exact VIN, price and mileage over time

VIN reading happens on your phone — camera frames are never uploaded. Decoding the VIN itself uses an internet connection.

Live market

Know exactly what it's worth

Real asking prices from active listings drive the number — not a vague book value.

• AER value — AutoEdge's own wholesale number, built from real auction sales adjusted to your car's mileage and condition
• When a model is covered, the recommended max bid anchors to the AER value instead of a retail guess
• Comparable listings matched on trim and mileage
• Retail range and asking median
• Estimated actual sold retail, not just what sellers ask
• Trade-in ladder: auction top dollar, median, and low trade-in
• Wholesale-to-retail spread at a glance
• Estimated resale plus potential profit in dollars and percent
• Confidence rating and comp count so you know how far to trust it
• Tap any comparable listing to open it
• Search by your ZIP and radius, or go nationwide
• Widen radius and mileage tolerance per car when comps are thin
• Set an extra margin cushion from 0 to 60 percent
• Open safety recall campaigns with risk, remedy, and Do Not Drive alerts

If there aren't enough comparable listings to stand behind a number, AutoEdge says so. It never invents a bid.

Condition & damage

Rate the car like you're standing on the lot

A guided walk-through turns what you see into dollars off the bid.

• Guided steps for exterior, interior, mechanical, tires, and title
• Mechanical issue chips — hard start, check engine, misfire, overheating
• Plus transmission, electrical, leaks, smoke, noise, and brakes
• Every issue shows its own bid impact
• Salvage, rebuilt, and branded titles apply a resale haircut automatically
• Itemize damage from a catalog of roughly 75 common parts
• Or write your own custom repair line
• Live used and reman part pricing with median and price range
• Repair-guide parts and labor ranges where available
• One-tap parts sourcing to eBay and salvage yard searches
• Running deduction total as you build the list
• Full breakdown: market base, condition, mechanical, tires, damage, title, margin

Records

Every car you've ever looked at

Your own valuation history, so you can calibrate against what actually happened.

• Searchable history of every vehicle with bid and date
• Multiple snapshots per car — refresh comps later and compare
• Track the deal: Evaluated, Bid, Won, Lost, Sold
• Record bid amount, purchase price, and sale price
• Notes on any vehicle
• Attach photos and documents to a car
• Reopen and re-run any old evaluation
• Share an estimate as plain text
• Linked work orders for the same vehicle
• Dark and light themes

Shop

Run the work, not just the numbers

A shop system in your pocket — full repair orders with jobs, hours, parts, fees, and tax, whether it's a customer's car or your own recon.

• Jobs from a 120-job service catalog across 15 systems
• Or write a custom job title
• Hours per job and your labor rate, with labor dollars calculated
• Parts lines with vendor, part number, quantity, cost, and warranty
• Fee and supply presets you define once — shop supplies, disposal, travel
• Customer jobs versus internal recon, tracked separately
• Mark a customer job as a quote, then text the customer a link to view it — it converts to a regular order when approved
• Shop totals: orders, labor hours, dollars, and this month
• See your most-logged jobs with average hours and parts
• Photograph a parts receipt and pull the line items in
• Multiple shots stack up for long receipts
• Review, edit, and untick lines before anything is added
• Sales tax added as its own line
• Attach photos and paperwork to any order
• Start an order straight from a VIN scan

Receipt text recognition also runs on your phone — the photo is only stored if you choose to attach it.

Customers

A CRM that travels with you

Everyone you buy from, sell to, and do work for — on the phone and at the desk.

• Names, phones, email, company, and address
• License details, customer type, and referral source
• Notes on every contact
• Job history on every customer card
• Purchase history for buyers
• Start a work order or add a vehicle from a customer
• Attach files to a customer record

Ask AI

A second opinion that already knows the car

Ask about common problems, recon expectations, or what to check next.

• Vehicle-aware chat — it sees the car you're looking at
• Knows the specs, mileage, condition, damage, and work orders
• Ask general shop questions with no vehicle selected
• 40 questions a day, and no API key to set up

Sales paperwork

Close the deal on paper

A guided sale form that produces the packet, with the official FTC Buyer's Guide bound right in.

• Bill of sale and title-transfer summary
• Settlement sheet with taxes, doc fee, and registration lines
• Drag to reorder charges and credits
• Odometer disclosure as its own page when you need it
• Damage disclosure with guidance
• Trade-in with allowance and lien payoff
• Lien holder and insurance blocks
• As-is or dealer warranty, with systems covered and duration
• Signature blocks and legal disclosures
• Official FTC Buyer's Guide merged into the PDF
• Dealer-only panel showing your cost and projected profit
• Preview the PDF, then save and mark the car sold

The sale form, tax rate, fee lines, and checklist are currently built around Minnesota requirements. Outside Minnesota, treat the packet as a starting point and check it against your state's rules. Nothing here is legal advice.
