Really, awesome site

Pretty unbelievable this historically annoying to obtain info is available on this site in mere moments/ seconds. Of course I tried it out on my own cars first and the results are just accurate.

Great

I love the creation of creating something such so incredible. Got to love it. Do you have anything else in mind?

I think it would be an even greater experience if the app was able to give out more information as, the persons full name and information under the vehicle.

Excellent

Even If I could only save 3 cars, PLEASE make it so I can have unlimited free inquiries/plate entries and not just a couple a month or whatever.

FAQ

What information can I get from the app?

You can get detailed vehicle specifications, including VIN, make, model, year, engine size, fuel capacity, and country of manufacture. The app also provides real-time valuations based on recent sales data, estimated annual running costs for maintenance, taxes, and insurance, and active NHTSA safety recalls. Additionally, it can reveal if a vehicle has been involved in an accident, flood damage, or reported stolen.

How does the app work?

The app uses Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology to scan a photo of a US license plate. It then accesses real-time public DMV records and other data sources to compile comprehensive vehicle history and information. You can also enter the VIN directly for a lookup.

Is there a cost to use the app?

Basic checks, such as accident history, flood damage, and core vehicle specifications, are available for free by scanning a license plate. More in-depth reports, including owner information, traffic court records, criminal driving violations, and comprehensive history reports powered by services like VinAudit, may incur an extra cost through in-app purchases.

What types of vehicles can I check?

The app can recognize most US state license plates for vehicles registered after 1981. This includes cars, trucks, and motorcycles. You can also use the VIN lookup feature for a wider range of vehicles.

What are the main use cases for this app?

This app is ideal for anyone looking to buy a used car and wanting to verify its history, check for potential issues like accidents or theft, and understand its market value. It's also useful for car owners who want to check for active safety recalls or understand their vehicle's specifications and running costs.
