Vehicle Option Selection

While we all like to consider ourselves experts in the field, it simply isn't possible to know every option for every vehicle in the market. Our vehicle option selection is a great way to make sure that you know which add / deducts to look for when buying, negotiating a trade-in or setting your retail price.

After changing vehicle options, click to update appraisal data.
Select additional options or check ones that are absent. Once complete, the numbers on the card update and accurately reflect the value of the vehicle that you are appraising.

Carbly is the best yet

"I've used all the VIN scanners over the years. Carbly is the best yet. It's fast, accurate, easy to use and lets me add unlimited folders, notes and photos. Their support team has always been quick to answer my questions too."

Troy Blackmon Deridder Auto Auction
Keeps us profitable in a competitive market

"We are a large vehicle wholesaler with a sizable inventory. Margins are slim so we have to closely monitor the market for changes. Carbly's data-rich platform and Appraisal Assistant keep us profitable in an extremely competitive and fluid market."

Grant Eriksen Auto Sails Inc
More information for less money

"Great value. Tons of information. I have used Autoniq, Laser Appraiser. Vin Viper. Carbly gives me more information for less money and MUCH better customer service."

Lance VanDyke By The Book Auto Brokers, Inc
Can read text as well as barcodes

"I left Autoniq over a billing dispute which ended up being a blessing in disguise. The VIN scanner on Carbly is so much better; it can read text as well as barcodes. They also have NADA VIN Precision+ which has better trim and build data."

Ken Shepard Cars R Us Omg
Massive time saver
