What's New in Total Car Check

7.8.0

October 6, 2026

Hello Total Car Checkers! Here's what has changed (p.s. it's me David James, the CEO, writing this) Updated free check layout. => better organisation of EV data Bug fixes that improve the speed of the free check response. More data added to the free check. A bug fix that stopped some emails being sent when a user resent the email with the report attached to themselves. Well, it says I have 3,601 characters left.. 3,579 now... what else am I going to say, perhaps I'll share my favourite poem: Just Once Just once I knew what life was for. In Boston, quite suddenly, I understood; walked there along the Charles River, watched the lights copying themselves, all neoned and strobe-hearted, opening their mouths as wide as opera singers; counted the stars, my little campaigners, my scar daisies, and knew that I walked my love on the night green side of it and cried my heart to the eastbound cars and cried my heart to the westbound cars and took my truth across a small humped bridge and hurried my truth, the charm of it, home and hoarded these constants into morning only to find them gone.
