Questions people actually ask
Is it really $5, or $5 then a subscription?
Really $5. One charge for one vehicle. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.
Do I get a discount for buying several?
No, one report at a time, always $5. If you're checking dozens a month you want a dealer account instead.
What if the report comes back empty?
You aren't charged. We release the authorisation the same business day, automatically, and tell you what we did and didn't find.
How long do I keep the report?
Indefinitely. Download the PDF at purchase, and the live version stays reachable from the link we email you.
Why is this so much cheaper?
No call centre, no dealer sales force, no TV spend. We license the same commercial feeds and pass the difference on.
Does a report replace an inspection?
No, and we'll never claim it does. It tells you what was reported. A mechanic tells you what's true today. Get both.
