Your car-obsessed friend keeps asking which OBD2 app to get. You already know the answer. Now there's a reason to tell them sooner rather than later — because the Carista Referral Program rewards both of you. Your friend gets 10% off their first Carista order, and you get a free month of Carista PRO once their order is approved.
Here's everything you need to know about the Carista Referral Program.
What Is the Carista Referral Program?
The Carista Referral Program is a win-win: share Carista with friends who care about their cars, and you both come out ahead. Your friend receives 10% off their first Carista order, and you unlock one free month of Carista PRO once their order is approved — giving you access to the full suite of diagnostics, customization, and service tools for your car.
There's no cap. The more friends you refer, the more PRO time you can unlock.
What You Get vs. What Your Friend Gets
This is a two-sided reward, so everyone wins:
Your reward — 1 free month of Carista PRO. One approved referral = one free month of Carista PRO. The more friends you refer, the more PRO time you can unlock. With Carista PRO, you get access to:
- Advanced diagnostics — Read and clear fault codes across all systems, not just engine
- Car customization — Unlock hidden features and adjust vehicle behavior to your preference
- Service tools — Reset service reminders, run oil reset, battery registration, and more
- Live data monitoring — Track real-time sensor data and stay ahead of potential issues
The exact features available depend on your specific car model and brand.
Your friend's reward — 10% off their first order: Your friend gets 10% off their first Carista purchase when they use your referral link — plus a smarter way to connect with their car, understand issues faster, and use Carista with confidence.
How Does It Work?
Four simple steps:
- Get your invite link — Enter your email and generate your personal referral link on the Referral page here: https://carista.com/pages/referral
- Share it with a friend — Send the link to someone who wants a smarter way to understand their car. Text, email, social media — wherever works.
- They get 10% off — Your friend uses your link and receives a discount on their first Carista order on any product: https://carista.com/collections/all
- You get 1 month PRO — After their order is approved, your free month of Carista PRO is unlocked.
That's it. No manual claiming, no complicated redemption steps.
A Few Things Worth Knowing
The reward unlocks after approval. Your free month of Carista PRO is unlocked after the referred order is approved — not the moment your friend checks out. So if it doesn't appear instantly, that's normal.
The discount applies to first orders only. The 10% off applies to your friend's first Carista order made through your referral link.
There's no referral limit. Every friend who orders through your link (and gets their order approved) counts as a valid referral. The more friends you refer, the more PRO time you can stack up.
Who Should You Refer?
The Carista app works with over 32 car brands — so chances are, the people in your life are already driving a compatible vehicle. It's a particularly good fit for:
- Friends who own VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Cupra, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Saab, Vauxhall, Volvo, BMW, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Infiniti, Lexus, Mini, Scion, Lincoln, Land Rover (the list is constantly expanding)
- Anyone who recently bought a used car and wants to check its history and health
- DIYers who prefer handling their own maintenance and avoiding unnecessary dealer visits
- Anyone who got hit with a mysterious warning light and doesn't know where to start
If they have a compatible car and a smartphone, Carista will be useful to them.
