What we do

  • • VIN decoding — identify vehicle make, model, production year and core specifications (current core feature).
  • • Vehicle history (recalls & maintenance) — currently not available; this is on our roadmap and will be added after we secure reliable data sources.
  • • Developer API — planned. If you need API access early, contact us at [email protected].

Vision

Make vehicle condition assessment simple and trusted — build a global, reliable VIN data layer.

Mission

Deliver high-quality data and friendly tools so users can make smarter buying and maintenance decisions.
