Our Story

How we're changing the game for imperfect vehicles

The Problem

Too often, sellers hand their damaged or faulty vehicles back to insurers or auction houses losing thousands in the process. Meanwhile, buyers and dealers at those auctions pay more, but with little history or insight into the car's background. Sellers lose out. Buyers take unnecessary risks

The Solution

We knew there had to be a better way so we created it. A platform where people can sell damaged or imperfect cars directly to motivated buyers and rebuilders.

The Result

Sellers earn more

Buyers find opportunity

Imperfect cars get back on the road
