Auto Detective: AI Automotive Intelligence Platform

The Challenge

Canadian car buyers were making $30,000–$60,000 decisions with almost no reliable intelligence. Comparing real market value across listings required visiting 6+ sites manually. Understanding hidden costs — insurance, registration, fuel estimates, historical recall data — required hours of research across a dozen sources.

Dealers had the opposite problem: pricing had to be done manually, relying on experience and gut feel. A used car manager might spend 45 minutes researching one vehicle before pricing it for their lot. With 100+ vehicles in inventory, that's an impossible time commitment done properly.

Both problems had the same root cause: automotive market data was fragmented, inaccessible, and not connected to an intelligent layer that could synthesize it into actionable guidance.

The Solution

Done Right built Auto Detective on Base44 — an AI-powered automotive platform with two distinct product modes: Consumer (for buyers) and Dealer (subscription).

For consumers: enter a VIN or paste a listing URL, and Auto Detective generates a comprehensive vehicle intelligence report in under 2 minutes. The report includes market pricing analysis, comparable Canadian sales, AI-generated red flags, historical context, and a plain-English buying recommendation.

For dealers: the same intelligence engine accelerates pricing decisions. Enter a vehicle at trade-in, get instant market positioning and recommended retail price within confidence bands — backed by real Canadian comparable data.

What We Built

The Outcome

Auto Detective launched in 4 weeks. Early consumer users completed vehicle intelligence reports in under 2 minutes — a process that previously took hours of manual research across multiple sites.

Dealer beta partners reported 30% faster pricing decisions. One dealer estimated saving 20+ hours per week across their used car pricing team — time redirected to customer relationships and deal-closing.

Accuracy testing showed 95% of AI-generated market pricing landed within the actual sale range of comparable vehicles in the following 30 days.
