Straight answers
Before you ask us about the car.
No fine print dressed up as reassurance. Here's what this service is — and what it isn't.
Who are you?
We're the owners of Apex Automotive, a real auto repair shop in Pryor, Oklahoma.
Is this AI?
AI helps gather the research fast — comps, recalls, and bulletins — but every verdict is reviewed and delivered by a human mechanic. The judgment call is always ours.
Do you inspect the car in person?
No. This is remote research plus a mechanic's verdict. If the car is worth an in-person inspection, we'll tell you so — and tell you exactly what to ask the inspector to check.
What do you need from me?
The listing link, VIN, asking price, and anything the seller told you.
What if the car sells first?
You get a full refund, no questions asked.
Why not just get a Carfax?
A history report is data. We give you a decision — buy, negotiate, or walk — with the numbers and reasoning behind it.
Know what the car is worth — and what it may cost you.
