Confidence
AutoJerry.fi is a registered Finnish business (AutoJerry Oy, founded 2014) acquired by major media company Alma Media in 2018. The domain has been active for over 12 years, carries valid SSL, and shows no malware or phishing detections. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists flag nothing. The site displays 4.6/5 stars from 233,995 garage reviews and maintains active social media and customer service. However, web research uncovered mixed user feedback: some complaints on Finnish forums and an independent review aggregator cite few or no quotes for complex repairs, garage upselling, and prices not matching initial quotes. These are service-quality issues rather than fraud indicators. No scam reports, credential-harvesting patterns, or links to known fraud families were found. The business registration is confirmed active in Finland.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on autojerry.fi and not a lookalike like a-utojerry.fi.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on autojerry.fi. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • autojerry.fi passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 83/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. autojerry.fi presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Sectigo Limited · Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36, expiring in 250 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
