How FixPilot works

From listing URL to buy decision,
on every car you consider.

FixPilot rides along with your buyers in a browser extension. When they open a listing — or a 200-vehicle search — it grades the inventory in the background and surfaces the cars that hit your margin bar. No new dashboard to log into, no CSV exports.

01.
Analyze

Read the listing end-to-end.

The moment a buyer lands on a listing — or queues a batch — our vision pipeline reads every photo and our language models parse every seller note. VIN decode runs in parallel for factory options.

We pull out what matters for a buying decision: damage, wear, aftermarket parts, odometer disputes, undisclosed modifications, panel-alignment red flags.

Price

Localized recon + live market.

The pricing engine runs on yournumbers. Your body shop's labor rate. Your parts vendor's pricing. Your transport lane rates. Your target margin floor per inventory band.

Market data comes from live wholesale auctions plus retail sold-listings in a 50-mile radius of the rooftop. We reconcile against MMR and Black Book so nothing is a surprise at floor.

Decide

One ranked shortlist.

Every vehicle gets a Buy Score (0–100), a verdict chip (buy / watch / pass), a confidence level, and a one-line reason. Your buyers work top to bottom. Management sees the full list, auto-sorted by margin.

The shortlist lives inside the tabs your buyers already have open. No logins. No CSV exports. No sync delay.
