Auto Data Direct on Thursday reminded California dealers that it offers solutions so stores can access vehicle history reports from the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System, which became mandated on used vehicles offered for sale as of July 1.

ADD pointed out that Golden State dealers must post a red warning label on the vehicle if a title brand or salvage history is found. 

“While the new California law is aimed at protecting consumers from purchasing less than desirable vehicles without full disclosure, pulling a NMVTIS report is a smart thing to do for all dealers — not just those in California,” the company recommended.

ADD explained the NMVTIS database is a U.S. Department of Justice information system that contains automobile information from states DMVs, insurance carriers and the salvage industry.

“ADD’s unique Web-based system has already helped thousands of dealers access NMVTIS reports, pulling records as individual businesses or through dealer management systems,” stated ADD president Jim Taylor.

“Our goal has been to provide efficient options for access to NMVTIS reports, meeting the new California consumer protection requirement and keeping compliance easy and affordable for the dealer community,” Taylor continued.

ADD mentioned that it partnered with 10 dealer management software companies that offer a seamless way for dealers to access NMVTIS vehicle history reports through their existing business systems and processes.

“We’ve spent the last 12 years developing tools for the automotive industry that offer both compliance and efficiency. Integration offers a unified solution for dealers to pull these low-cost federal reports,” Taylor added.

In addition to access to NMVTIS vehicle history reports, ADD also noted it offers Spanish-English reports to better serve the bilingual dealer community.

The company said dealers can benefit from a pay-per-pull option allowing for individual reports to be retrieved one at a time, or batch processing which accepts multiple VINs for initial inventory reports or high volume users. 

Furthermore, ADD noted its StiQR is a lead generation tool that uses QR code technology to deliver NMVTIS reports to a consumer’s smartphone via a window sticker.

ADD StiQRs can integrate NMVTIS histories, dealer marketing, vehicle information, photos, video, web and social media into a mobile friendly sales tool.
