Driving Automotive Knowledge Forward
Born from passion, built on expertise. We're not just reviewers—we're automotive enthusiasts dedicated to empowering every car owner with honest insights and expert guidance.
Our Story: Where Passion Meets Purpose
AutoRivet was founded in 2018 by a group of automotive enthusiasts frustrated with the lack of genuine, unbiased product reviews in the industry. Too many review sites had become glorified advertising platforms, leaving consumers without trustworthy guidance.
We started small—testing products in our own garages, documenting real-world performance, and sharing honest opinions. What began as a weekend project quickly grew into something much bigger when readers discovered they could finally trust what they were reading.
Today, AutoRivet has become one of the most trusted automotive review platforms, with over 100,000 monthly readers who rely on our expertise to make informed purchasing decisions.
"We believe every car enthusiast deserves honest information, not marketing disguised as reviews."
