Decode
The federal decoder returns year, make, model, engine, plant and safety equipment — from the manufacturer’s own submissions.
Check the title
NMVTIS is the only national title-brand record: salvage, flood, lemon buyback, junk. A cash repair leaves no trace — this catches the ones that went through insurance.
Check recalls
An open recall is a free repair for the life of the vehicle, whoever owns it. It is also a negotiating document with a federal citation on it.
