How it works

Your customer. Your report. No one else's.

Everything runs from your Valet page. No app to install, no portal to learn.

Send a link

Add your customer's name, email, mobile and vehicle on your Valet page. We send the walkaround in your dealership's name, by email or text. Or copy the link and send it yourself.

They walk around their car

With their phone, from their driveway, in under 10 minutes. Guided prompts show them every angle to capture.

You get the full report

Photos, condition grade, damage and a repair estimate, on your Valet page and by email. It never goes into the marketplace or to another dealer.

Give your offer, or pass

Price the trade with confidence and talk to your customer directly. Not the right car for you? Tap Pass and we'll take care of your customer from there.

Why dealers use it

Appraise the trade before they walk in.

The same inspection that powers our marketplace leads, pointed at your own customers.

Only you see it

The report goes to your dealership and nowhere else. No other dealer can see it or make an offer on it.

Sent in your name

Your customer gets it from "your dealership via BidriveAuto". When they reply, it comes straight to you.

Auction-standard grading

Photo-documented findings, a condition grade and a repair method on every finding, so you know the recon before you commit to a number.

Fewer wasted appraisals

Know what you're looking at before the customer drives in, and spend your desk's time on the deals that are real.

Questions

The short answers.

Who sees the report?

Only your dealership. A Trade Check never goes into the marketplace, and no other dealer sees it or can make an offer on it.

What does my customer get?

An email from "your dealership via BidriveAuto" with a link to start the walkaround, or a text to their mobile. If they reply, it comes straight to you. You can also copy the link and send it yourself.

When am I charged?

Only when your customer finishes the walkaround. Your first 5 each month are free. After that, it's $29 each up to the 20th, then $24 each from the 21st, plus HST, charged to your card on file. If a link is never used, or you cancel it, it costs nothing.

What happens if I pass?

Tap Pass on your Valet page. We may then offer your customer CarTradeEasy, our sister marketplace, so they can still get offers. Nothing is shared unless they say yes. If they do, the car goes to other dealers as a regular lead, and your dealership won't receive it.

Does it use up my marketplace leads?

No. Trade Checks are separate from marketplace leads and lead fees. They're for your own customers.

Is it on Tire Kicker?

No. Trade Check is exclusive to Pro dealers. You can move to Pro any time from the join page.
