Here’s a sign that vehicle diagnostic technology is in demand at both dealers and auctions: CarDr’s diagnostic intelligence platform has seen its utilization rise by more than 500% year-over-year.

In fact, the company said this week that less than halfway through the year, the CarDr platform utilization had eclipsed full-year 2025 levels by more than 56%.

The gains have been particularly noticeable among companies using diagnostic intelligence in arbitration mitigation, vehicle certification programs, evaluating trades, and inventory acquisition.

CarDr says its technology is being used by both dealers and auctions, who utilized the platform to support acquisition, inspection, certification and remarketing workflows.

The remarketing side of the business, in particular, has prioritized vehicle transparency, accuracy in disclosures and arbitration consistency.

“The industry is moving beyond generic OBD-II scans and toward actionable diagnostic intelligence,” CarDr CEO Greg Lubrani said in a news release. “Customers want deeper vehicle insights that help them identify risk before a vehicle crosses the block, enters inventory, or reaches a consumer.

“As the industry continues to place greater emphasis on transparency, accurate disclosures, and arbitration reduction, access to actionable diagnostic intelligence has become increasingly important. Customers need information they can trust to make faster and better decisions, and that’s exactly what CarDr delivers.”

The company has leaned on responding to customer feedback. Last month, for example, CarDr implemented 13 customer-requested enhancements.

These upgrades focused on broadening diagnostic intelligence, improving report clarity, and workflow efficiency and providing a better overall customer experience.  Leadership said this reflects the culture established by founder Parry Singh.

“One of the core principles of CarDr is that we listen,” said Lubrani. “Our customers are in the lanes, in the service departments, in the recon centers, and acquiring inventory every day. When they tell us something can be improved, we don’t put it on a roadmap for next year — we get to work immediately.”
