Tucson · Pima County · then anywhere in the US
Walk the car in the driveway. Leave with official facts and a photo packet.
Built for the person standing next to a Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace car in Tucson — or a private seller who wants the same packet before they list. You pay $29. We never take a cut of the sale.
What you actually get
Official lookups
NHTSA vPIC decode, year/make/model campaigns, complaints, 5-star if it exists, EPA MPG range. Cited on the report. Not Carfax. Not NMVTIS.
A station-by-station walk
Identity, paper, flood red flags from AZDOT, body, lights, tires, interior, underhood, Tucson heat, optional road notes. One station at a time on your phone.
A fact pack PDF + photo ZIP
Unwatermarked photos. Filename DW_VIN_date.pdf. Arizona next steps: title in 15 days, Title Viewer, Area B emissions, salvage disclosure.
Who pays
The person at the car. Almost always a private-party buyer. Sometimes a seller preparing a listing. Charge that person. Never a percentage of the car.
One walk is $29. If you are shopping several cars this month, $12/month. Restore or cancel the subscription from your dashboard — no dark patterns.
Tucson first, then the federal stack
Arizona & Pima
- Title within 15 days (A.R.S. § 28-2058). Private seller Sold Notice in 10 days (ADOT 46-8502) — on the report, not a walk blocker.
- Flood checks from AZDOT and NHTSA’s hurricane/flood page. Clean-title flood cars exist.
- Salvage disclosure before sale (A.R.S. §§ 28-2091, 28-2095). Flood is a salvage reason, not a brand table we invent.
- Area B emissions via myAZcar / ADEQ. Five-year / 1966 / electric exemptions. We link; we do not scrape.
- A private Facebook seller is not a dealer. AZ dealer = 4 used vehicles in 12 months (§ 44-1261). Lemon law does not apply to a private used sale.
Anywhere in the US
- NHTSA vPIC, recalls, complaints, 5-star.
- EPA/DOE fuel economy as a YMM range — no VIN→MPG.
- FTC Buyers Guide — dealers only. Private as-is is UCC § 47-2316.
- Tire age from the DOT week/year (49 CFR 574.5). Tread: NHTSA TireWise 2/32 in. No fake AZ 2/32 law.
- IIHS as a link. Stars vs G/A/M/P are different tests. A 2012 Good is not a 2026 Good.
Hard walk-aways we will flag
Flags are decision aids from what you recorded plus official campaign lists. They are not a mechanical finding and not a probability the car will fail.
- VIN on the plate ≠ VIN on the door sticker
- Airbag lamp stays on
- NHTSA park-it / park-outside campaign — still confirm this VIN at NHTSA
- Salvage not disclosed (A.R.S. §§ 28-2091, 28-2095)
- Flood cluster (AZDOT + NHTSA water flags)
- Tires 10+ years old, or cords showing
- Brake lamps inoperative
