Common questions.

What do I get for $129?

A 0–100 score, a plain-English recommendation, every line of your shop's inspection (or your symptom description) analyzed against NHTSA recall and complaint data, a fairness check on any quote you paste in, and pre-purchase mode if you're evaluating a vehicle to buy. Delivered to your email in about 90 seconds.

How do I get my Verdict?

Stripe Checkout collects your email at payment, and we email the Verdict to you. That's the whole transaction — no marketing list, no drip campaigns, no shop or third-party sharing. One Verdict, one report, done.

What does the Verdict actually tell me?

A 0–100 score, a plain-English recommendation (fix now, fix soon, monitor, skip, walk away), a breakdown of every finding with severity, and where applicable, a fairness check on a quote you paste in. We never tell you not to drive a car — that's a decision between you and your shop.

How long does it take?

About 60–120 seconds after you submit. The bulk is the AI generating your customer-facing report — NHTSA queries are parallelized.

How is this different from forums or Reddit?

Forums give you opinions about a model. We pull NHTSA recall and complaint data for your exact VIN, run pattern analysis on your specific symptoms, and respect that your shop's inspection — if you have one — is factual. The Verdict is grounded data, not crowdsourced anecdote.

Will the Verdict tell me to go to a different shop?

No. We don't recommend shops, never. We don't take referral fees, never. The Verdict is informational: here's what your car's data says, take it back to your shop and have the conversation. The repair business stays where it belongs.

Is the Verdict a substitute for a mechanic's diagnostic?

No. The Verdict is informational analysis. A hands-on diagnostic from a qualified shop is always the appropriate path for confirming what's actually wrong with your car. The Verdict helps you understand what's reasonable to fix and what to ask about.
