## What is VINly?

The VIN sits on the door jamb, the dashboard, or the paperwork. Point your camera at it and VINly reads it, so you do not have to type 17 characters. Type it in by hand if you prefer.

Free for every supported car:
• Open NHTSA recalls
• Owner complaints filed with NHTSA
• NHTSA crash-test ratings
• EPA fuel economy and estimated fuel cost per year
• A year by year comparison, so you can see which model years owners complain about
• Real cars for sale near you, with photos, prices, and links to the dealer

No VIN handy? Look the car up by year, make, and model.

Save cars to your Garage and come back to them later. No account. No subscription. No ads.

VINly organizes public vehicle data for research. It is not a vehicle history report, and it does not replace an inspection by a mechanic you trust. Confirm recalls and anything else critical before you buy.

VINly runs on the web too, at vinly.dev. Check a car before you message the seller, let alone drive an hour to go see it.
