   Print

Understanding a vehicle’s history is a critical step in any used car purchase, whether you’re a dealer at auction or a consumer buying a used vehicle in a private party sale or with a dealer. That’s why instaVIN, creator of the first SMS mobile service available to consumers, is now offering instaVIN Salvage and VIN Check reports to in-market consumers and auto retailers. Unlike other vehicle-history-report suppliers, instaVIN delivers this vital information for not only passenger cars and light trucks, but also for RVs and motorcycles.

Available online or via SMS text, instaVIN Salvage and VIN Check reports identify virtually 100% of vehicles that have recently been declared a total loss by insurance companies or have been at a salvage auction or junkyard. Information is made available to instaVIN through its partnership with the Department of Justice and the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS). NMVTIS is the only vehicle history database into which all states, insurance carriers and junk salvage yards are required to report their data by federal law.

Each Salvage and VIN Check report shows in real-time whether a vehicle has been issued a Salvage or related DMV title brand, like Rebuilt or Junk, from a participating state DMV. NMVTIS requires each state to provide its title brand information to the system; currently 39 states, representing nearly 90% of vehicles on the road, are providing data to NMVTIS. Salvage and VIN Check reports also feature 24-point vehicle specifications decoded from the VIN as well as local vehicle retail values. This information is vital in helping the dealer and consumer verify that vehicles are accurately represented and priced.

In addition to the Salvage and VIN Check reports ($2.99), instaVIN also offers Vehicle History and Title Reports for just $6.99. In addition to the Salvage and VIN Check information, these reports provide all 61 state title brand indicators like Broken Odometer, Rental Vehicle or Flood as well as ownership information, odometer history and accident information where available.
