YOU'RE BLEEDING $2,000+ A YEAR.
FOR WHAT YOU ALREADY HAD ACCESS TO.

$2,400

AllData / year

$199/mo for a single-user license. Cancel and you lose everything you've used for years.

$2,028

Mitchell1 ProDemand / year

$169/mo. Locked to one shop terminal. Useless on the road. Useless at home.

$2,400

Identifix / year

$200/mo. Same DTC databases, same TSBs, same labor-time tables — bigger invoice.

Over a 5-year career as an indie mechanic, that's $10,000+ extracted from your pocket for data that already existed the day you signed up. We built CarData because mechanics deserve to own the information they rely on — not rent it.

CarData AI Online
2018 Ford F-150 5.0L. Throwing P0316 misfire-at-startup, runs fine after a few seconds. Where do I start?

P0316 on the 5.0 Coyote typically points at low oil-feed pressure to the VCT phasers at cold start. Most likely causes, in order:

  • 1. Phaser rattle — known Ford TSB 17-0050. Verify with cold-start audio.
  • 2. Stuck VCT solenoids — clean or replace, ~$80 each.
  • 3. Low oil pressure at start — check oil grade (5W-30 only) and OCV screens.

Want the TSB document and step-by-step phaser inspection procedure?

Yes — show me the procedure with torque specs.

From the bay floor

WHAT 2,140+ SHOPS SAY

"I cancelled AllData the day after CarData loaded. Same wiring diagrams, faster search, and I keep it forever. Paid for itself by lunch."

DR

Derek R.

Independent Shop Owner — Tucson, AZ

"The transmission rebuild section alone is worth ten times the price. Valve-body diagrams for a Jatco JF015E saved me three hours and a tow."

MK

Markus K.

Trans Specialist — Munich, DE

"Mobile mechanic. I work out of a van. Offline access killed every excuse I had to keep paying Mitchell1. This is the future."

Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED

How do I access the archive after paying?

The moment Stripe confirms your payment, you receive an email with your member dashboard link and a unique lifetime access token. You can also log in directly from this site — your account is created automatically.

Is the data really as complete as AllData?

Yes. The wiring diagrams, repair procedures, torque specs, DTC libraries, TSBs and labor times all originate from manufacturer service information — the same upstream source the big platforms license from. We've simply structured it differently and removed the rent.

What years and brands are covered?

Light vehicles, utilities and pickups from approximately 1982 through current production. 60+ brands across European, American, Japanese and Korean manufacturers — see the coverage list above.

Will it work offline / in my van?

Yes. The archive ships in downloadable bundles per make. Cache them once, take them anywhere — driveway, mobile rig, no-signal underground garages. Lifetime updates are pulled when you're online again.

Are updates really included forever?

Yes. New TSBs, model years and corrections roll into your archive at no additional cost. The $97 you pay today is the last invoice CarData will ever send you.

What if it's not what I expected?

You have 30 days to email support@cardata.app and request a refund. No questions. No friction. We process refunds within 48 business hours.

Is the payment secure?

100%. Checkout is processed by Stripe (the same payments engine behind Amazon, Shopify, Lyft and Google). We never see or store your card details. SSL encrypted end-to-end.
