Common questions
What is AutoDoc?
AutoDoc (autodoc.eu) is Europe's largest online auto-parts marketplace, with over 4.5 million parts from 870+ brands. It is a parts supplier — it does not offer vehicle history checks, mileage verification, or safety recall data. For that, use Automano before placing your order.
Is AutoDoc trustworthy for parts?
AutoDoc is a legitimate and widely used parts marketplace. The risk is not in AutoDoc itself, but in buying parts for a car that turns out to have undisclosed damage, rolled-back mileage, or an open safety recall. Automano removes that uncertainty with a €7.90 history report before you spend more on repairs.
How do I check if my car needs the parts before buying?
Enter the VIN on Automano for a free decode. You'll immediately see the manufacturer specs, any open recalls, and a market valuation. If something looks off, a full €7.90 report cross-references mileage, accident history and official registry data — giving you the full picture before you invest in parts.
Can I get a free vehicle history check before ordering parts?
Yes. Automano's VIN decoder is free and unlimited — no signup required. It returns manufacturer specs, recall status and a valuation snapshot at no cost. A full cross-source history report (mileage, accidents, ownership, recalls) costs €7.90.

What is AutoDoc — and what does Automano add?
AutoDoc (autodoc.eu) is Europe's largest online auto-parts marketplace, stocking over 4.5 million parts from 870+ brands. It tells you what a part costs and ships it fast. What it doesn't do is check whether the car is worth repairing in the first place.
Automano is the verification step before the parts order. Run a free VIN check on Automano to confirm the mileage hasn't been rolled back, there are no undisclosed major accidents, and no open safety recalls — then go ahead and order on AutoDoc with confidence.

What you get for free on Automano
No account needed. Enter any VIN and immediately see the decoded vehicle data — before deciding whether a full history report is worth it.
Manufacturer specs decoded
Make, model, year, engine, trim, factory options — all decoded from the VIN instantly at no cost.
Safety recall check
See any open NHTSA or EU manufacturer recalls on the vehicle — information you need before buying parts for a car that may be affected.
Market valuation snapshot
A real-time price estimate based on active listings in your market — helps you decide if the repair bill makes financial sense.
Reliability score preview
A first-look reliability indicator based on model-level data to spot patterns before committing to a full check.
Why run Automano before ordering on AutoDoc?
Four reasons to check history before you spend on parts.
Official data, not estimates
Cross-referenced against government registries (DVLA, HistoVec, KBA, CEPiK) — not scraped classifieds or estimated from VIN patterns alone.
Catch mileage fraud early
Odometer manipulation is the most common used-car fraud globally. Catching it before the parts order saves you from maintaining a car with unknown real wear.
Spot hidden structural damage
Declared write-offs and major accident records are cross-referenced across the sources available in each market — so damage that was repaired in another country still shows up.
No signup, instant results
Free VIN decoding requires no account, no email, no credit card. Results in seconds — before you even click Add to cart on AutoDoc.
