About CarDatabase
Your trusted community-driven resource for understanding common failure points in used vehicles.
Our Mission
CarDatabase was created to address a critical gap in the used car market: the lack of transparent, accessible information about common failure points and maintenance issues. We believe that every car buyer deserves to know what they're getting into before making one of life's largest purchases.
What We Do
Our platform aggregates real-world data from car owners, mechanics, and automotive enthusiasts to create comprehensive failure point databases. We focus on providing:
- •Detailed failure point analysis by generation and trim level
- •Community-verified repair costs and maintenance schedules
- •Expert insights on preventive maintenance and early warning signs
- •Transparency in automotive reliability across all makes and models
Why It Matters
The used car market often leaves buyers in the dark about potential issues. Dealerships and private sellers rarely volunteer information about known failure points, leaving buyers to discover expensive problems after purchase. Our database empowers consumers with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions and budget appropriately for ownership costs.
Community-Driven Approach
CarDatabase thrives on community contributions. Our data comes from real owners who've experienced these issues firsthand, certified mechanics who see patterns in their shops, and automotive journalists who track long-term reliability trends. This collaborative approach ensures our information remains current, accurate, and relevant to real-world ownership experiences.
Looking Forward
We're continuously expanding our database to cover more makes, models, and years. Our goal is to become the definitive resource for automotive reliability information, helping millions of car buyers make better-informed decisions and ultimately improving the transparency of the entire used car market.
