## What is VINTerpreter℠?

Scan a VIN. Know the car.

VINTerpreter turns any 17-character VIN into a full picture of the vehicle: year, make, model, engine, factory specs, open NHTSA safety recalls, and the nearest dealers who can fix those recalls for free.

Point your camera at a VIN barcode or at the VIN on the dashboard. VINTerpreter reads both. Or just type the 17 characters in. Scans are unlimited on every tier.

SMART VIN SCANNER
• Reads VIN barcodes off the door-jamb sticker
• Reads the dashboard VIN through the windshield using Apple's Live Text engine
• Or enter the VIN manually
• Unlimited scans on every tier
• No account, no sign-up, no ads

OPEN SAFETY RECALLS
• Every scan checks the NHTSA recall database
• Plain-English detail: what's wrong, why it matters, how it gets fixed
• Recall lifecycle timeline: Issued, Under Review, Fix Coming, Fix Available, Repaired
• Manufacturer and NHTSA recall numbers, remedy status, and days since issued

FIND THE DEALER WHO FIXES IT FREE
• The three nearest dealers for each recall, with hours and drive time
• Call the service department, or get directions in Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze
• Safety recall repairs are performed at no charge by authorized dealers

YOUR GARAGE
• Save the vehicles you care about
• Monitor up to 4 vehicles free for ongoing recall updates
• Push and email alerts when a new recall is issued for a vehicle you monitor
• Stop monitoring any vehicle at any time, whether you sold it or you are just done tracking it

UNDER THE HOOD
• Full specifications: body, engine, fuel, transmission, drivetrain, assembly plant
• OBD-II readiness monitors and communication protocol, so you know before the smog test
• Dynamometer data: horsepower and torque targets

Used-car buyers checking a VIN before money changes hands. Owners who want to know the family car is safe. Technicians, inspectors, and independent shops who need a fast decode and recall check right in the bay.
