Dealer FAQ

What VIN tools does CarWhere offer dealerships?

Four things: (1) a window sticker widget + API that puts original OEM Monroney PDFs on your VDPs for 12 brands — Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Ford, Lincoln, Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Hyundai, Genesis — at a flat $99/month per rooftop with unlimited lookups; (2) a free NHTSA-based VIN decoder; (3) recall and owner-complaint checks; (4) verified buyer-paid market pricing by year/make/model for desking and appraisal context.

How does flat-rate window sticker pricing compare to per-vehicle vendors?

Incumbent dealer sticker services bill roughly $7 per vehicle decoded. CarWhere is $99/month per rooftop, unlimited. At 100 units/month that is about $600/month saved; at 300 units it is over $2,000/month.

Is there a self-serve signup?

Yes — start a 14-day free trial at carwhere.com/dealers/window-sticker-widget and your API key is issued instantly after checkout. No sales call required. Cancel anytime; the key simply deactivates.

Can I check window sticker availability across my whole inventory?

Yes. The API has a per-VIN availability check (format=check) that returns JSON, so your feed or website provider can flag exactly which units have an original sticker before rendering a button. Toyota, Lexus, and Kia retired public sticker access in 2026 — the check identifies those instantly so your site never shows a dead link.

Where does the market pricing data come from?

CarWhere verified buyer transactions — real out-the-door deal sheets submitted by buyers, not estimates or listing prices. Useful for desking context: see the price band and average discount buyers actually got on the same year/make/model.
