What Is ACV Viper?

ACV Viper is an automated vehicle inspection system that scans your vehicle as it passes through specialized imaging equipment. In a matter of seconds, it captures thousands of images covering the exterior, tires and undercarriage while producing a comprehensive condition report. The system also pulls VIN-level details and current valuation data, giving our team the insights needed to make smart decisions about trade-ins, acquisitions and service recommendations.

Instead of relying solely on subjective visual checks, ACV Viper delivers consistent, technology-backed results every single time.

How Does ACV Viper Work?

The process is quick and blends seamlessly into your visit. As your vehicle rolls through the ACV Viper scanning lane, the system:

Captures thousands of high-resolution images
Inspects the exterior for dents, dings and scratches
Measures tire tread depth on all four tires
Scans the undercarriage without needing a lift
Creates a comprehensive digital vehicle condition report
Generates valuation insights within seconds

The outcome is a detailed snapshot that helps both our team and our customers clearly understand a vehicle's current condition.

Why ACV Viper Stands Apart

Unlike a standard walkaround, ACV Viper brings together advanced imaging, artificial intelligence and real-time valuation tools to produce a thorough assessment in just minutes.
