Your customers are already paying to protect their original paint.
Autoentic measures every panel against factory spec and saves a VIN-linked Paint Passport, so the protection they're already paying for comes with a measured record, not just a film. PPF customers already care about original paint, which is why they're in your shop, and dealer-network leads route to shops like yours.
That protection disappears at resale. Autoentic changes it.
Your customers pay to protect their factory-original paint, but that protection is invisible to everyone downstream. It never shows up in the listing or the appraisal the next buyer sees. Autoentic records it against factory spec and ties it to the VIN, so it travels with the car instead of resetting to zero at every sale. It doesn't promise a number at resale. It gives a future buyer or appraiser something real to look at.
A car moves from the factory to a dealership, a PPF shop, and an owner, then returns to the same dealership as a trade-in and finally passes to a second owner. With Autoentic, every panel is measured against factory spec before the wrap and saved to the VIN, so the appraiser at trade-in and the second owner both see a verified history. Without it, no record is made, and the protection is invisible to the market at every later handoff.
The record you hand the customer.
Every Pre-Install Check ends in a Paint Passport: each panel measured against factory spec, saved to the VIN, and auditable later by anyone with the VIN alone. It is the document that turns “we wrapped original paint” from a claim into a record.

What this proves and what it doesn't
We report what we measured at each inspection, with explicit uncertainty bounds. We never claim “guaranteed factory original.” Read the full methodology at how it works.
Most PPF and detail shops start on Lite or Starter and move up as volume grows. Every tier is below — the price is the price.
Pricing that fits your volume.
Lite, Starter, and Growth are self-serve at the price shown; Volume and Enterprise are quoted directly. The only thing that ever varies is overage: a flat per-inspection charge past your monthly allowance, billed as its own line.
Your first 90 days have no subscription, starting when you pair your first probe. It's a genuine no-subscription window, not a discounted trial that quietly steps up.
Hardware is a separate, one-time purchase.
You pay a lead fee only when a lead is routed to you.
When a vehicle is measured at a dealer and the owner wants follow-up work, that lead can be routed to you. The lead fee scales with the vehicle's value, in four brackets. The bracket is set automatically from the VIN; if the VIN can't be decoded, the lead is billed as Standard.
How leads are routed
Leads are routed by proximity, your current capacity, your response time, and your territory. Autoentic connects you with the lead and runs the measurement and certificate platform — what happens with the lead after that is yours to run.
One flat platform fee: 18% of every lead fee.
No tiers, no exceptions, no gradient. Autoentic takes 18% of the lead fee; the rest goes to the dealer whose measurement generated the lead. Because the fee is flat, the dealer's earnings per vehicle are a fixed amount in each bracket — the same whether the lead is accepted by a large operation or a one-bay shop.
| Vehicle bracket | Lead fee | Platform fee (18%) | Dealer earns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | $20 | $3.60 | $16.40 |
| Standard | $40 | $7.20 | $32.80 |
| Premium | $70 | $12.60 | $57.40 |
| Luxury | $120 | $21.60 | $98.40 |
No subscription for your launch period.
Your Autoentic launch period
You don't pay a subscription for your first 90 days — beginning when you pair your first probe — or until your first 10 accepted (paid) leads — whichever comes first. After that, your tier subscription begins. This is a no-subscription window, not a discounted rate: the platform fee is a flat 18% throughout, and it does not change when the launch period ends.
DeFelsko's device return window
Separately, and unrelated to the launch period: the DeFelsko probe carries a 30-day manufacturer return window. That window is set by DeFelsko, not Autoentic.
Leads vs. inspections
- If a dealer lead is routed to me, does that use one of my monthly inspections?
- No. Accepting a routed lead consumes the lead fee only — it never uses an inspection from your monthly allowance. An allowance inspection is used only when you actually run a measurement.
- The car was already measured at the dealer. Do I have to measure it again?
- No. The vehicle already has a Paint Passport from the dealer measurement, and you can view that existing record at no charge. Running a fresh Pre-Install Check is optional — that's one allowance inspection, and the customer pays for it.
- So what actually costs me money on a routed lead?
- Only the lead fee for that vehicle's bracket (Economy, Standard, Premium, or Luxury — see above). Viewing the existing Paint Passport is free. A new Pre-Install Check is optional and customer-paid. There's no double charge for a lead and an inspection on the same vehicle.
