Appraisal Assistant & Ease-of-Use
Combining Data Sources for Better Wholesale, Retail and Auction Prices
The screenshots above tell a compelling story. Carbly delivers a truly modern experience with an emphasis on clean, user-friendly design. All of this means that Carbly makes it much easier and quicker to make decisions about a vehicle's value or price and intuitively guides you towards making better decisions.
We also understand that it can be time consuming to examine multiple guide books and compare them to one another. Carbly solves this with Wholesale and Retail SpeedView®, allowing you to quickly visualize price differences and variance between your selected guide books.
Including Carbly SpeedView®, the Appraisal Assistant automatically provides recommended wholesale and retail numbers, with ranges, aggregated from all your guide books. Carbly's Summary Section at the top also highlights other positive and negative attributes of the vehicle.
Free Vehicle History Integration
100% Free - No Data Minimums - No Setup Fee
It takes a brave person to buy and sell without knowing the history of a vehicle these days. Autoniq will let you integrate your vehicle history account for a fee of $55.00 per month or they will integrate it for free if you buy at least 2 guide books per month. In comparison, we offer:
- 100% Free Integration of your CARFAX and Autocheck accounts
- Zero setup fees
- Zero minimum data requirements
We don't think that you should have to pay twice for vehicle history integration. Even if you only have one book with Carbly, integrating your vehicle history account is always FREE.

Advanced Trim Decode & Add/Deducts
J.D. Power VIN Precision+ and Build Data
If you don't know a brand well, correctly decoding a vehicle to the trim can be tricky and making a bad buy as a result of a trim error can be costly. Carbly utilizes advanced trim decoding and matching so there are fewer instances than ever that your are forced to make a trim choice. This results in greater speed and more detailed appraisals.
- 93% trim accuracy
- 94% vehicle option accuracy
Our partnership with the new J.D. Power VIN Precision+ offers an ever-growing database of 125 million VINs, providing 93% trim accuracy and 94% vehicle option accuracy. Additionally, every Carbly customer benefits from enhanced trim decoding capabilities even if not subscribed to J.D. Power since it is included in all of our VIN scan decodes.
Cutting-Edge VIN Scanner
Capture from Vehicles, Handwriting, Print, Screens and More
We know it's still a pain to locate and scan barcodes so we gave the Carbly VIN Scanner the ability to read VIN number text. This means that you can just point your device at another screen, a piece of paper, QR code, VIN plate and even handwriting (if neat enough) and Carbly will automatically read the VIN for you without any fuss. It just works. If you can't scan a barcode with Autoniq you'll be wasting time typing the VIN.
The Carbly app also detects when you have copied a VIN to your clipboard, and will automatically prompt you to run an appraisal as soon as you open the app.
It can even isolate the VIN from an entire copied block of text, making copying and pasting easier than it has ever been.
If you do happen to be one of the rare people who likes to type in VINs, we've thought of you too. Carbly has a quick and easy VIN optimised keyboard. Once entered, we also made the VIN actionable so that you can easily copy/paste, text or email it just by tapping on it.
These things are unique to our product and save massive amounts of time and hassle.
