Anyone who wants to see under a car without a lift
Buying a used car
Roll it under the car before you hand over the money. Rust, leaks and a bent subframe show up on video, not in the listing photos.
Selling a car
Show the buyer a clean underside instead of asking them to take your word for it. Share the scan from the app.
Keeping the car you own
Catch a seeping seal or a torn boot while it is a cheap fix, and check the underside after winter salt.
Checking a repair
See whether the work you paid for was actually done, without putting the car on a lift.
The problems that live under the car
A clean body and a quiet test drive say nothing about the underside. These are the findings that turn a “great deal” into a repair bill, and the ones a flashlight on your knees usually misses.
Rust and corrosion
Frame rails, floor pans, subframes and brake lines. Coastal and salt-belt cars hide it where nobody looks.
Leaks
Oil, coolant, transmission and differential seepage on the pan, the seals and the ground under them.
Torn boots and worn joints
CV boots, ball joints, bushings, tie rods. The parts that fail first on a used car.
Damage and missing parts
Bent crossmembers, scraped undertrays, missing shields and hardware, exhaust hangers and heat shields.
Clamp. Roll. Review.
Capture
The app sets the camera and talks you through each pass with audio guidance. You push the kit under the car.
Organize
Videos, frames, notes and marks are grouped into one inspection per vehicle.
Review
Pause on any frame, save it, mark it, add a note.
SpeedReview
Turns the raw video into a structured review: Scan Mode follows each pass, Highlights Mode pulls the key frames.
Free to use. Pro when you need it.
The kit comes with the free RaccoonMachines app for iPhone and your first month of Pro. Keep the free plan forever, or stay on Pro if you scan cars every week.

Questions
What is the Raccoon Machines kit?
A wheeled phone carriage on a handle, plus the free RaccoonMachines iPhone app. You clamp your phone in, push the kit under the car, and the app records and organizes the underbody video. The kit is $129 with free U.S. shipping, a 90-day limited warranty, and one month of the Pro software included.
Do I have to pay for the app?
No. The RaccoonMachines app is free and the free plan stays free: guided capture, organizing, and reviewing and marking frames. Pro adds unlimited SpeedReview, shareable reports and cloud storage. Every kit includes the first month of Pro. You can buy a full year of Pro here for $349, get it with the kit in the $449 bundle, or go month to month for $49.99 inside the app.
Does it work with Android?
The app is iPhone-only today; Raccoon Machines says an Android version is coming. The hardware works with any phone’s native camera in the meantime.
Do I need a lift or ramps?
No. That is the point. The handle reaches 3 to 6 feet under a parked car on flat ground.
How does this relate to a Vehicle Inspectors inspection?
The kit is for cars you can get to yourself. For a car in another city or state, book a Vehicle Inspectors pre-purchase inspection: an independent inspector goes to the car, checks the underbody along with everything else, and sends a photo-documented report.
Who do I buy from, and who ships it?
You order here and pay Vehicle Inspectors $129 per kit, charged once at checkout. Raccoon Machines ships it from Pennsylvania to U.S. addresses, shipping included, and you get the tracking number by email. The kit carries Raccoon Machines’ 90-day limited warranty; for any problem with an order, email dispatch@vehicleinspectors.com and we handle it with them.
