Frequently asked questions

No. We report safety recalls, owner complaints, crash-test ratings and running costs from NHTSA and EPA public records. We do not report titles, liens, odometer or accident history.

Directly from official U.S. government sources: the NHTSA vehicle safety databases and the EPA fuel-economy database.

Reports typically build in under a minute. You get an on-screen download link and a copy by email.

Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer of that brand — your report lists each campaign number and remedy to quote to the dealer.

If a report fails to generate we refund automatically. Otherwise contact support within 7 days.
