Vinly vs vAuto: The Modern Alternative

vAuto changed how dealerships think about inventory. Vinly takes it further with AI-powered damage detection, profit-first appraisals, and a mobile-native experience built for how dealers actually work.

Why Dealerships Choose Vinly Over vAuto

Profit-First Methodology

vAuto starts with market value. Vinly starts with your desired profit margin and calculates the maximum allowable offer. Every deal is profit-backed before you shake hands.

AI Damage Detection

No AI damage detection in vAuto. Vinly's BodyShop AI uses computer vision to detect dents, scratches, and paint damage from photos — then auto-estimates recon costs.

Mobile-Native Experience

Vinly has purpose-built iOS and Android apps with guided photo capture, VIN scanning, and haptic feedback. Do complete appraisals from the lot without a laptop.
