Our Leadership

Tyler Sapp

Chief Executive Officer & Founder

Tyler Sapp brings generations of automotive industry expertise to Car Valuation AI. Growing up in a family that has owned and operated used car dealerships for decades, Tyler learned the business from the ground up. His grandfather, a Native American entrepreneur, pioneered honest car sales practices in Springfield. In the heart of America, building a reputation on trust and fair pricing. That legacy continued with Tyler's father, who expanded the family dealership and modernized operations.

Recognizing that technology could revolutionize vehicle valuation while maintaining the family's commitment to transparency, Tyler founded Car Valuation AI. By combining his deep understanding of the automotive market with artificial intelligence and computer vision, he's created a platform that brings dealer-level pricing accuracy to everyone—consumers and professionals alike.

"My grandfather, father, and family taught me that a fair deal builds trust, and trust builds a business. With AI, we can now offer that same fairness at scale, giving everyone access to accurate vehicle valuations."

Our Story

Car Valuation AI was born from a simple observation: the used car market lacked transparency. Buyers and sellers often didn't know if they were getting a fair deal, and traditional valuation tools couldn't account for the real condition of vehicles.

Drawing on generations of family experience in the automotive industry, Tyler Sapp saw an opportunity to combine old-school expertise with new-school technology. The result is a platform that uses artificial intelligence to not only identify vehicles from photos but also detect damage, assess condition, and calculate accurate pricing based on real market data.

What sets us apart is our AI damage detection system—something that even major industry players don't offer. By analyzing photos of vehicles, we can automatically assess scratches, dents, rust, and paint damage, providing valuations that reflect the true condition of each car.
