Step-by-step process
How IsThisCarOK works
You’re looking at a used car from a private seller. You don’t have to be a car person. You do have to walk in knowing what this one is famous for breaking.
We cross-examine the listing
We check what the seller photographed—and what they skipped. We analyze recurring year/model failure data, typical shop repair costs, fair price, and provincial taxes (BC detail today).

A clear verdict and price analysis on the cover, realistic repair estimates in the middle, and a printable driveway checklist on the last page.
Driveway test & hoist inspection
Use the checklist to catch red flags during your test drive. If it passes, take it to an independent shop with a hoist. If the seller refuses the shop, walk away.
Built for real buyers. Not flippers.
We designed this for regular used car buyers who want clarity before handing over savings.
Built for
Private-sale used car shoppers
- Buyers who are not professional mechanics and want straightforward, plain-English guidance.
- First-time buyers needing an objective second opinion before parting with hard-earned savings.
- Partners who want a clear document to review together rather than relying on a vague gut feeling.
- Anyone about to message “is this still available?” and wants to know the expensive repair traps first.
Not built for
Commercial flippers & quick-scorers
- Dealership wholesalers or high-volume flippers scanning dozens of cars an hour.
- Anyone looking for a 60-second automated thumbs-up score without reading real vehicle intelligence.
- Skipping the physical shop inspection (we will never tell you to skip an independent hoist inspection).
- Salvage auction arbitrage or unverified rebuild titles.
Walk into the driveway knowing what matters.
