Your account

An account keeps a garage of up to five model-years — the make, model and year, never a VIN — and opens the AI listing review. The decoder, the recall answers and every calculator work without one, and always will.

What an account is for, and how to leave

It is for two things: keeping a short list of the model-years you care about, so their recalls are a click away instead of a re-decode, and the AI listing review, which needs an account so its free review and the Buyer Pass have somewhere to be counted. It holds your name and email address from Google, up to five cars as make, model and year, and how many reviews you used. It never holds a VIN — the server refuses any request that contains something shaped like one, and accepts only model-years NHTSA's files actually list.

Signing in sets three cookies on this site only, and they are listed on the cookies page. Deleting the account from this page removes it and its garage immediately. The privacy page says what is kept, for how long, and what backups retain.
