Access: Buyer and Dealer / Seller modes are both available at no cost in this build.
Data: everything you enter is stored on this device only. Back it up from the logo menu, because a lost phone or cleared browser data cannot be recovered.
Corpus coverage: 140 vehicle models, partial VIN and chassis-code coverage, standard maintenance intervals, and a 100-point checklist. It is a starting point and is not a complete catalogue.
Recall: short notes and links back to your records, kept only when you tap Remember. Stored on this device without encryption. Unpinned items expire by themselves.
The Guide: a scripted conversation that runs on this device. It uses no AI and sends nothing anywhere.
Content honesty: the engine sound and visual tools, the checklist and the inspection summary are self-assessment aids built from data you enter. They are not automated diagnosis, an insurance assessment, a finance clearance or a registry check. Cloud features are not live. A vehicle record file is self-reported and not independently verified.
