For shops & inspectors

Your inspections, on the record. Buyers book you next.

Shop Verified publishes your inspections and service records to each vehicle's VIN Passport under your verified business name. Buyers reading that record see your work, and can book their next inspection with you.

How it works

From sign-up to your first booking

    We check your registration, license type and location, and a named person at the shop.

Why your records count more

The VIN Grade trusts professionals most.

Every record is weighed by who supplied it. Inspections from credentialed inspectors and records from verified shops carry the most weight, so your work moves a vehicle's grade more than anyone else's. The passport shows buyers exactly why.

Questions from shops

What does Shop Verified cost?
$199 a month per location, with seats for up to 10 technicians. You pay for the plan, never per booking or per lead.
How do inspection jobs work?
Buyers request a verified inspection from a VIN Passport where we have confirmed coverage. Verified inspectors covering that area see the job, accept it, and confirm an appointment from the availability they published; that confirmed time is the booking. You inspect the car, submit the checklist and photos, and after review they are published to the vehicle's passport. Payouts follow your inspector agreement.
Can I import what my shop software already exports?
Yes. Bulk import accepts CSV, spreadsheets, JSON, XML, PDFs, photos and video, and the same API powers a command-line tool for scheduled uploads. Every row is checked, duplicates are dropped, and records stay private until an administrator has reviewed your verification and approved them.
What do buyers see about my business?
Your business name, license type and location appear on your profile and on every record you publish. We never store personal ID images: the identity provider only tells us whether the check passed.
Does it work without Wi-Fi in the bay?
Yes. Captures are saved on the device with their original time and upload automatically when you're back online. Nothing is sent twice.
