Vehicle inspection is racing several startups to make the inspection faster, easier and cheap. A startup in San Diego, self-inspected, believes he has defeated them all by his AI-driven service-and now he has convinced the outsiders.
Self -inspection, Established in 2021It is ready to announce Thursday that it has raised $ 3 million in co -seed rounds of Costanova Ventures and DVX Ventures, a firm -administered firm by June McNail, former Tesla president. Joining the round was West Lake Financial, which handles more than one million car transactions annually.
Karim Bosta, a partner in DVX Ventures, believes that the process of conducting traditional vehicles is ready for innovation. “Self -inspection technology not only pushes operations for auto lenders, dealership and rent companies, but also sets a new standard for quality, reliability and smooth digital experience in the inspection market,” said Bosta.
CEO Constitine Yarmetso told Tech Crunch that the seed round tech is verified, which the company has been working for the past few years. Self -examination already counts the West Lake Financial, as well as Aus and Caroffer (a digital wholesaler) owned by Cargorus).
“Basically, we are going to extend, grow and start scaling,” said Yarmeso.
The self -inspection has taken a very different way from the UV, which recently raised $ 191 million for its AI -powered drive throw inspection technology.
Self -inspection only needs a smartphone camera, though its software can also benefit the data drawn from the car’s OBD2 port.

The company trained its AI models that it describes it as one of the largest datases of damaged vehicles. Prior to creating cost estimates and “one of the most complete reports of inspection of vehicles available in the industry”, they can detect the models rapidly and examine the severity.
“What we provide is actually a completely detailed PDF report that you will usually get from just one body shop, which will tell you what you need to labor on the loss, how much you need to repair it, how much parts you need, and so,” said Yarimato.
Yarmeso said the self -inspection service is designed to be easy but designed, which separates it from rivals like Ravan.
In other words, self -inspection software is not fit of one size.
This means access to a smart back and configuer for users. For example, if a fleet or car market wants to prioritize some of the high dress areas, or take a step to ensure that the EV charging cable is in the trunk, they can only drag themselves into the inspection software.
It is also designed to inspect itself.
In the software, users do not need to travel a certain distance from the car because they take photos or videos, such as other services. And for now, this standstone is not even. Self -inspection software integrates its users into their own workflows, and all vehicles inspection is done through a smartphone web browser – when the user gets a link after text or email.
“Everyone has a good camera, everyone has a good phone, how everyone knows how to get the photo,” said Yarmeso. As soon as they receive a text message or email, it is easy to go. ” “We are trying to give this tool to the markets, or to the banks, so that anyone can inspect the super and accelerate the sales cycle process.”
