About
IsThisCarOK is a briefing you buy before you meet the seller. Paste the listing. Pay once. Get a PDF. Then take the vehicle to a shop with a hoist (Canada) or a lift (US).
Spoken: “is this car okay.” Tagline: a briefing before you meet the seller.
Why this exists
Private-sale used cars are as-is. A history report says where the VIN has been. A 60-second app gives a vibe. Neither tells you what this year and model is known to break, whether the asking price looks fair, how tax actually works at the counter, or which nearby shop will put it on a lift. That is the homework a cautious buyer does by hand. We sell that document.
What you get
- One PDF for this listing — not unlimited scans of your feed
- Photo-level reading and known jobs for that generation, with typical independent-shop costs
- Whether the asking price looks fair against similar ads
- Tax in plain language: BC PST / Autoplan caveats on Canadian reports — not a made-up Canada-wide rate. State rules on US reports — not one national number.
- A named shop with a real phone when we have verified one in that city
- A last page you can print and take with you

What we will not pretend to be
Not a mechanic. Not Carfax. Not a warranty. Not tax advice. The report is research that pairs with an inspection. We will not tell you to skip the shop. Coverage started in British Columbia and the US Pacific Northwest; named shops land city by city, only with phones we have checked.
Who is behind it
A small product, not a dealership group. First live reports are still read by a person before they go out. If something in a PDF is wrong, write us.
