## What is CarTalkie?

See a problem with someone's car? CarTalkie lets you message its owner using nothing but the license plate.

Headlights left on, a window open, a car about to be towed, a driveway blocked — pick a ready-made message, enter the plate, and the owner gets a notification on their phone. No phone numbers swapped, no notes under the wiper.

SEND A MESSAGE — FREE
• Enter the plate and state, plus the car's make and color
• Choose a preset message: "Your headlights are on", "You're about to be towed", "Your EV finished charging" and more
• Stay anonymous, or choose to share your name or number
• No app? Anyone can also send from cartalkie.app or by scanning a CarTalkie sticker

RECEIVE MESSAGES ABOUT YOUR CAR
• Register your plate and verify ownership with your registration or title
• Get a push notification the moment someone messages your car
• Reply with a tap, mark it resolved, or block and report
• Add family members as drivers so they get messages too
• Each plan includes a free QR sticker for your car

BUILT FOR PRIVACY AND SAFETY
• Neither side sees the other's account, email or phone unless they choose to share it
• Messages are preset, so there's no spam or abuse in free text
• Daily limits, car make/color checks and one-tap blocking keep it respectful
• Pause messages any time
