VIN (optional — unlocks per-VIN precision)

Without a VIN, three things can't be checked: whether a recall has already been done on this exact car, the build options on your specific VIN, and any accident-history flags. The Mini Verdict still runs — engine + trim + year/make/model recalls all still match — but a provided VIN is what lets the full Verdict ($79) speak to your car specifically instead of your model in general.

I understand what this Mini Verdict is and is not.By checking this box I acknowledge that this Mini Verdict:

Is AI-assisted informational analysis combining a deterministic 13-stage scoring pipeline with LLM-rendered prose (Claude Sonnet 4.6 / Opus 4.7) — not professional mechanical, legal, financial, insurance, or warranty advice.
Is not a substitute for an in-person mechanical inspection and not a guarantee of any future mechanical outcome.
Is generated by Smith Performance Productions LLC, which is not a licensed automotive repair dealer or mechanic.
Does not analyze safety-critical situations (smoke, fire, brake fade, steering loss, airbag warning, fuel leak). If you have a safety issue, stop now and call a licensed shop or 911 — do not wait for this analysis.
Requires me to verify any specific claim (recall scope, coverage eligibility, dollar figure, repair recommendation) with the dealer or a licensed shop before authorizing repairs.
Is for my personal informational use and I will not use it to publicly accuse a named shop of wrongdoing without independent verification, or as expert testimony in legal / insurance / warranty proceedings.
I am at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in my state of residence).

No card, no spam. Every line cites a source — NHTSA, manufacturer TSBs, active class actions. Built by a former auto shop owner.

What you'll see

Three reveals. One missing piece.

Card 1 — Coverage hunt. Whether an extended- coverage program, class-action settlement, or manufacturer service campaign applies to your vehicle (and if so, the program family).
Card 2 — Failure window. Whether documented failure clusters are active at your current mileage band, and the aggregate cost-with vs cost-without coverage filed.
Card 3 — Dealer leverage. Open recalls on file for your year/make/model, the program family the dealer won't volunteer, and starter language to ask by.
What the Mini Verdict doesn't do: make the call. No directive. No repair-vs-replace math. The walled reveals (verbatim program-name lookups, per-VIN eligibility results, dollar break-even, full administrator hotlines) live in your full report.
