Clariti lets every used car buyer see what a professional mechanic sees — AI damage detection, live diagnostics, VIN fraud protection, and more. Before you sign anything.

The Problem
Every year millions of Americans buy used cars — and millions of those buyers get taken advantage of. Not because they're not smart. Because they don't have the right tools.
The used vehicle market is nearly twice the size of the new car market — and almost entirely unprotected for buyers.
Engine faults, flood damage, frame damage, odometer fraud — problems a professional inspection would have caught immediately.
Worth every penny — but you can't send every car you're considering to a shop, and sellers rarely wait while you do.
Until now. Clariti combines every professional inspection tool into a single mobile app anyone can use — no experience required.
How It Works
Clariti walks you through a professional inspection in minutes. No experience required.
Scan the VIN barcode or enter details manually. Clariti instantly loads vehicle-specific intelligence.
Follow the guided 10-step camera scan. Our AI analyzes every panel for hidden damage, flood indicators, and repair evidence.
Connect the OBD dongle for live engine diagnostics. Fault codes are translated to plain language with repair costs.
Clariti delivers a unified score, a clear recommendation, and a negotiating script — so you know exactly what to say.
What Clariti Inspects
Clariti is the only app that combines every critical inspection category into a single unified buyer recommendation.
Trained computer vision scans all 10 body zones for paint overspray, panel gaps, flood damage, structural deformation, and hidden repair evidence.
Connects to any Bluetooth OBD dongle to read fault codes, battery voltage, charging health, and emissions readiness — in plain language.
Pulls known defects, open safety recalls, reliability ratings, and ownership cost forecasts specific to the exact vehicle you're inspecting.
Guides you to every manufacturer-specific VIN tag location, then cross-references all tags to detect stolen, cloned, or rebuilt vehicles.
Combines all findings into a single weighted score, triggers Walk Away alerts for critical issues, and generates a negotiating script.
Compares the asking price to real-time private party and dealer retail values — so you know instantly whether you're looking at a deal.
State of health, estimated range loss, DC fast-charge frequency, HV system fault detection, and battery warranty status.
Tread depth rating, DOT age decoding, factory size verification, wear pattern diagnosis, and a negotiating deduction calculator.
A proprietary database of manufacturer-specific VIN tag locations for every make, model, year, and body style — with guided instructions.
The Outcome
Every inspection ends with a unified score and one of three recommendations — plus a negotiating script you can use right at the car.
Clariti found no significant issues. This vehicle matches its reported history. Proceed with confidence.
Issues were found. Here's your negotiating deduction and exactly what to say to the seller to protect your money.
Critical issues detected — fraud indicators, structural damage, or catastrophic faults. Find a different vehicle.
Auto Walk-Away Triggers
Regardless of any other score, these findings immediately trigger a Walk Away recommendation.
Inconsistent VIN tags across multiple locations — stolen, cloned, or title-washed vehicle.
AI visual scan detects major collision damage affecting structural integrity.
OBD scan reveals a catastrophic engine, transmission, or safety-system fault code.
SRS fault detected — indicates prior deployment and improper reset. Safety compromised.
ECU data inconsistent with displayed mileage. Illegal rollback detected.
Visual scan detects water-intrusion history — damage that cannot be fully remediated.
Unresolved manufacturer safety recall — do not purchase until it's completed.
Battery below 60% state of health — replacement cost exceeds vehicle value.
Walk through a full Clariti inspection — from VIN to verdict to negotiating script — on a real example vehicle.

Pre-purchase check
Clariti walks you through a used car in a few minutes, then tells you whether to buy, pause, or walk away — and hands you the leverage to negotiate. Let's run one.
Demo of the buyer experience · no hardware required
Stage 1 · Identify the car
Type the VIN from the listing or the windshield. We've dropped in a sample so you can see it work.
17 characters · usually on the lower windshield or the door jamb.
Stage 2 · Guided visual scan
Clariti's AI checks each panel for paint overspray, panel gaps, and hidden repair evidence — the guided camera walk-through.
Stage 3 · Live diagnostics (OBD-II)
Every car has one — and Clariti knows exactly where it is on this Accord. Plug the dongle in there and it reads the car's computer.
Driver's side, under the dash — just left of the steering column, above the pedals. It's the standard 16-pin OBD-II connector, usually facing down or toward you.
Stage 4 · AI visual findings
Paint and finish on the right rear don't match the factory panels — a strong sign of prior accident repair the listing doesn't mention.
Slightly uneven gaps consistent with a panel that's been removed and refitted. Worth a close look in person.
No water-line staining, corrosion, or structural deformation detected in the scanned zones.
Stage 5 · Tire analysis
Tread depth, DOT age, factory size, and wear pattern on each corner — with a dollar figure for anything that needs replacing.
Stage 6 · VIN & fraud check
Windshield, door jamb, and firewall VINs all match. No signs of a cloned, stolen, or title-washed vehicle.
Title history is clean and ECU mileage matches the displayed 58,900 mi. No rollback detected.
History shows one moderate collision — consistent with the repainted rear quarter found in the visual scan.
Stage 7 · Inspection results
No auto-walk-away triggers fired. Two findings materially affect what this car is worth.
Repainted rear quarter + collision on record. Not a safety issue, but a value and honesty issue.
Slow-responding O2 sensor, plus a recently cleared airbag code. Have a mechanic confirm before buying.
Two worn to 3/32" and one aged past safe life — about $520 to set right, itemized in your negotiating deduction.
Asking $24,900 vs a $21,500–$23,200 range for clean examples — before repair history.
Engine, charging, and emissions systems read healthy. Odometer verified.
This isn't a walk-away — the Accord is mechanically sound and the miles are honest. But the hidden repair and above-market price mean you shouldn't pay what they're asking.
Why
Stage 8 · Market value context
Clean 2020 Accord EX-L examples with these miles trade in a tight band. This one is priced above it — and it isn't a clean example.
Accounting for the accident repair and the diagnostic fault, a fair number lands well under the asking price.
