What every location gets

Built for a yard that buys cars from the public, not a lead list.

Instant cash offers on your website

Sellers answer a few questions on your own site, in your colors, and get a real offer on the spot. The car is yours to buy, never resold as a lead.

Your questions, your prices

You decide what sellers are asked and what each answer is worth. Offers are built from current scrap prices and the car's own weight.

Plate or VIN in seconds

Sellers enter a plate or VIN instead of guessing year, make and model, so the offer is for the right car.

Only cars you'll collect

Each seller's ZIP is checked against your service area by road distance before they answer anything else.

Text sellers from one inbox

Every offer comes with a mobile number and consent to text. Replies land in the thread with the quote, opt-outs are honored.

Pickups and tow costs

Accepted offers go to a pickup board with drive time, the tow company and what the tow costs, before you send a truck.

New to VIN Match Pro

The introductory account, included

A $69/month VIN Match Pro plan, worth $828 a year, comes with the $1,999 price.

  • 20 build sheets a month

    The car's factory options and trim, so the parts you pull and price are the parts it really has.

  • Mileage history

    Recorded odometer readings over the car's life, to check what the seller tells you.

  • Plate to VIN

    Turn a license plate into the VIN when the seller doesn't have it to hand.
