The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AutoVitals the Internet Archive's capture of AutoVitals' homepage on 17 December 2021 stated a guarantee that if a shop follows AutoVitals' best practices and does not raise its average repair order by 20 percent within 90 days, AutoVitals will tear up the contract with no penalty; no price figure is published, only demo requests.; Carvana as archived in December 2019, Carvana limits its money-back guarantee to a 7-day return window rather than offering open-ended returns, after which a purchased vehicle cannot be exchanged or refunded.
  • They diverge on capability: AutoVitals covers Digital inspections, Carvana covers Online marketplace.
