What is Automano?
Automano is a web application that checks the complete history of a used car from its VIN number. In seconds, you get a score out of 100, a real price estimate, and the full vehicle history. It's like having a car expert in your pocket.
Who is Automano for?
Automano is for anyone buying or selling a used car: private individuals, car professionals, insurers, rental companies. If you want to avoid scams and negotiate the right price, Automano is for you.
How much does it cost?
The VIN decoder is free and unlimited. The full history report costs €7.90. The complete report with estimate and tips costs €12.90. Premium at €4.90/month gives you discounts on all reports.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your data is encrypted, hosted in Europe, and GDPR compliant. We never share your data with third parties. Deletion on request.
Where does VIN report data come from?
We cross-reference MOT test data, insurance claims, French and European registration histories, and manufacturer databases. For mechanical aspects, an on-site inspection is still recommended.
What's the difference from a car expert?
An expert costs €150-300 and requires a 48-72h appointment. Automano costs €7.90-12.90 and delivers results in seconds. The expert can inspect mechanics, but for history, mileage, and price estimates, Automano is just as reliable — and 100 times cheaper.
Can I get a refund?
If the report doesn't satisfy you, contact us within 7 days for a full refund. Premium subscription can be cancelled at any time, without notice or fees.
